[QUOTE="SpartaChris, post: 513158, member: 1007"] I think he's plenty active in free agency, at least when it comes to kicking the tires on guys who can help us. However, Ted's not one to get caught up into a bidding frenzy for a guy, which is good. He knows there's a lot more to actually building a team than cashing in all your chips for one player. Also, there's a variety of factors fans aren't privvy to, like what kind of deals are needed to retain our own players, and whether said free agent actually wants to come here, or whether they are merely using our interest in their services as a bargaining chip to drive the price on their services up, i.e. Steven Jackson and Atlanta. As for Boldin, simply saying he was had for a 6th round pick is an oversimplification. The Ravens told him they needed to restructure his contract, or they would cut him and make him a free agent. He chose the latter, so my guess is the Ravens called around the league to gauge interest, and took the best deal they could get. [/QUOTE]
