Yeah, when this sort of thing happens, I am happy for somebody who over-achieves for the Packers if he can get some team to give him way more than the Packers know he is worth. I would really like to see a tall possession-type pass receiving TE - maybe almost as good a blocker as Crabtree and bigger and maybe a bit faster. I wonder if Mike Bruesewitz could put on 20-30 pounds and give football a try. He'd probably need a haircut to fit a helmet hahaha. |

Im actually looked forward to seeing Brandon Bostick. Ht / Wt: 6'3' / 245 He was a receiver and basketball player in college who possesses "eye-opening potential as a downfield weapon." |

I always forget that a team has to tender a player for him to become a restricted free agent. It makes me wonder why the Ravens never tendered Joe Flacco last year. Then they could have gotten a realistic appraisal of his worth, instead of pre-emptively blowing their load all over him before finding out what other teams might actually offer him. |

Why.. that would make sense. Boldin was huge for Flacco. I'd be surprised if they were in the playoff hunt next year. |

Loved Tom Crabtree.
I'm gutted he has left us.
Thanks for the memories Tom. Especially the fake FG TD v the Bores.
