The free agency period will be here before you know it, and there will be plenty of interest for some of the big name players this offseason. Today’s Baltimore Sun throws out a rumor about the Ravens taking a long look at Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin. Here’s the tidbit.

Arizona’s Anquan Boldin will likely draw interest from the Ravens as well as a handful of other teams this offseason if the Cardinals are willing to deal him.

Boldin has publicly expressed his unhappiness with the Cardinals – from fuming about his contract during the summer to arguing with offensive coordinator Todd Haley on the sideline during the NFC championship game – and might be on the trading block after Sunday’s game with the Pittsburgh Steelers.

“At this point, we’re going to evaluate where we are with Anquan after the season,” Cardinals general manager Rod Graves said yesterday. “We still consider him a core member of our football team. We’ll tackle those issues with him in a meeting with him after the season.”
