As it turns out, it was never an issue at all and the initial reporting (from ProFootballTalk, and repeated, apparently without confirmation, by many others) that the trade wasn’t complete until Boldin passed his physical was totally inaccurate.
First, the official NFL transactions report disclosed the trade as being completed on March 12th and both teams announced the deal shortly thereafter. |
Well. That's interesting. Although now knowing that they've had some cap space to work with all along I'm still not surprised they haven't made any bigger signings. Right now the Ravens have a shade under $8 million in cap room ($115,025,545 in cap commitments under the Rule of 51 subtracted from a $123,000,000 salary cap). |
Re: the rule of 51, do we currently have more than 51 players signed? Thus, the majority of our picks won't need to be factored in bc they'll be making league minimum? |
Yes, the Ravens have more than 51 players signed or tendered. Take a look at this link for your other question:

I believe you're right though.

6th Round Pick – $415K ($390K + $25K bonus proration)
5th Round Pick – $426K ($390K + $36K)
4th Round Pick – $490K ($390K + $100K)
3rd Round Pick – $540K ($390K + $150K)
2nd Round Pick – $640K ($390K + $250K)
1st Round Pick – $1.390M ($390K + $1M)
So, of the team’s 7 draft picks, only the 1st, 2nd and 3rd round picks have a Cap number of greater than $510K, which was the team’s 49th highest Cap number. As such, those three will replace the Cap numbers of the team’s 49th, 50th and 51st Cap numbers under the Rule of 51.
The remaining draft picks would not count amongst the top 51 Cap numbers, so the base salaries of those players, while counting against the Rookie Cap, will not count against the team’s overall Salary Cap |

On the Ed Reed front:

#Ravens are very pessimistic about the possibility of keeping FA Ed Reed, I'm told. Belief is he wants $4M per year. Doubtful they do that. |

Apparently he'll have to take less to stay in Baltimore

My understanding of the Ed Reed situation: He'll have to take less money to return to #Ravens. #Texans offering more than Baltimore. |

Yeah I'd give up 4 a year for sure.
Lot of talk about the Ravens and Michael Huff though. Wouldn't mind him one bit, especially if he comes cheaper than Ed, which it seems he should.

Simple question. Brian Urlacher: too much money ?

I don't think its as much the money as it is the years. 4 mil/per is fine but Ed doesn't have 3 years left. If we are going to commit 3 years to a Safety I'd rather go with Huff. My thing is this, if we are protecting our future we have to be committed to it regardless to whose feelings get hurt. Take the emotions out of it and pay for what you are getting and not for what u used to get. I hate to say it but Ed is probably gone. |

The Veteran minimum would be too much money. |

No thanks to Urlacher. That kind of move seems like it would be the opposite of what Baltimore's plans are anyways. |

Giving Pitta an extension a season before he blows up replacing Boldin in the slot.
That's priority 1.
BR.com also mentions that Dickson, Oher, and Jones are unrestricted free agents next year. But, all those guys seem like they could be replaced with cheaper draft picks on their rookie deals.

How? He's not as fast, nor as physical as Boldin.

| So where does everyone want to see us go with the current batch of free agents? I wouldn't mind seeing a priority put on Huff and Dansby. Would allow us to try and trade out of the 1st into the 2nd, pick up Minter to team up with Dansby and if Matt Elam slides into the 40's snatch him up or the best remaining WR's hopefully a guy like Keenan Allen or Da'Rick Rogers. What direction would you like to see us go in? |

Pitta ran a 4.63 at the combine and Boldin ran a 4.72 at the combine so Pitta is actually faster than Boldin.
