This offseason, the most shocking and important contracts in the entire league were the top contracts of many quarterbacks such as Tony Romo, Lu Ke and Aaron Rodgers, but these quarterbacks have chosen to stay with their own teams, and there are a lot of transfer moves in the free market.

First, Pery-Harv, the 2009 Offensive Rookie of the Year of the Year, left the Minnesota Vikings and moved to the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for a first-round draft and a seven-round draft for the Vikings.

Second, New York Jets' legendary cornerback Darrell Reeves traveled to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on the condition of a first-round draft and a fourth-round pick, the cornerback has been plagued by knee injuries this past season, has never been able to perform at his peak level, and missed the New York Jets vs. San Francisco 49ers matchup, and now goes to the Buccaneers with a defensive tradition, but it is not known if he will be able to return to his peak form.

Again, it's the Baltimore Ravens' wide receiver, Ankuang Boulding.

Boulding was a veteran who was drafted by the Arizona Cardinals with the 54th pick in the second round in 2003, and he wasn't the most favored wide receiver that year, but he exploded with unimaginable energy in his rookie season, successfully defeating that year's draft quarterback Carson Palmer and that year's draft pick, Andre Johnson (Andre Jhnsn), to win the offensive rookie of the year -

Carson Palmer and Andre Johnson are now among the league's top players and have been selected for the Pro Bowl multiple times.

Unfortunately, in his second and third years, Boulding suffered intermittent injuries and severely reduced playing time, but as long as he can play, he is at the top of his game, as evidenced by three successful professional Bowl selections in 2003, 200 and 2008.

In 200, Boulding moved to the Baltimore Ravens. In the Ravens, his performance is still at the top, but after all, he still lost the sharp edge of his rookie season, and has never been able to reach the peak again, nor has he been able to return to the professional bowl again, and seems to be gradually becoming a blue-collar player.

The same was true for the 202 season, where Boulding scored just four touchdowns in the entire regular season; But after entering the playoffs, his performance has fully recovered, scoring four touchdowns in four games, becoming one of the biggest contributors to the Ravens' breakthrough in the Super Bowl, and in a trance, he once again showed his peak level.

As a three-time Pro Bowler, Boulding is one of those players: they have the ability and the glory they once had, and now they don't seem to be at the top of their game, but no one knows when they will burst out – they could be silent forever, or they could be the key to a turnaround at some point. Experience and vision, this is their greatest asset.

The biggest regret of Bolding's career was missing the Super Bowl twice, losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers led by Ben Rothslisberg in 2008 at the Arizona Cardinals; In 202, in the Baltimore Ravens, they lost to the San Francisco 49ers led by Lu Ke. Moreover, both times it was close but passed by.

The Baltimore Ravens are also facing a hard salary cap this offseason, and compared to the San Francisco 49ers, they have a more complicated situation, simply put, they need more players to renew, starting with their quarterback Joe Fraco.

In addition to Lu Ke, Romo and Rodgers, Joe Frako and Matt Lane, who entered the league in 2008, are also facing contract extensions this year.

The Baltimore Ravens and Atlanta Falcons have no reason to change their quarterbacks, and while they can't be separated from Lu Ke and Rodgers, who are both hot names right now, they are similar to the Dallas Cowboys, who are low-key but focused on keeping their quarterbacks.

Dallas began to adjust the team's contract in order to renew Romo's contract; The same is true for Baltimore and Atlanta.

Within the Baltimore team, John Hubble finally targeted Boulding, who he hoped would restructure his contract, reduce his annual salary, and fit the team; But Boulding refused to compromise, and as a result, John Hubble put Boulding in the free market, just as Jim Hubble was facing the embarrassment of being overstretched with wide receivers, so Boulding went from one Hubble to another.

The San Francisco 49ers took over Boulding's contract for seven million a year, and the price was just a seven-round draft next year.

As for Baltimore, with Lu Ke and Rodgers Zhuyu in front, the contract renewal of Flaco and Matt is not much more low-key, and it is not even as hot as Romo's discussion, but these two quarterbacks still won their coveted contracts, Flaco signed his new contracts in mid-June and Matt in mid-July.

Joe Flaco, 120.6 million for six years, 52 million in margin, and an average annual salary of 20 million and 100,000.

Matt Lane, five years 103.75 million, 59 million margin, average annual salary of 20.75 million.

The two quarterbacks became the fourth and fifth players with annual salaries of more than $20 million, leaving Drew Brice, Payton Manning, Tom Brady and Tony Romo behind; But the average salary level and margin still failed to surpass Lu Ke, and still fell behind Lu Ke and Rogers.

On the one hand, the hard salary cap rises every year, and as the NFL becomes more and more profitable, the faster the salary cap ceiling increases; On the other hand, the net worth of the players is gradually improving, and the rise of Lu Ke is an important watershed, even with the other quarterbacks all began to make breakthroughs.

Even if there is no regular season VP, even if there is no Super Bowl, excellent quarterbacks are still very rare, so the demand for quarterbacks such as Romo, Fraco and Matt is still high, and even rookie quarterbacks Andrew Lack and Robert Griffin III are no exception.

The conversation returned to Boulding.

Now, Boulding has gone from being a member of the Ravens to a member of the 49ers, and not so long ago on the Super Bowl stage, the two sides were rivals to the death, and in the blink of an eye, they are about to become partners who will play side by side. The professional arena is truly wonderful.

Today is the day when Boulding officially appeared in front of the fans, and Boulding still hopes that he can usher in a wonderful start in the new team, so he put on a solemn posture and carefully prepared, but ...... Boxer? Is this really good? Are you sure it's not too aggressive?

Especially since they were fighting on the most important arenas not long ago.

The players' eyes fell on Bording, and for a moment, their expressions were a little strange, and Bording's pace slowed down slightly, and his gaze continued to circle between the players.

For every player who has just moved in, they need a breakthrough.

Generally speaking, this breakthrough is the introduction of the head coach - the wide receiver coach, the close end coach, the running back coach, this is the head coach of each position, the player is integrated into the group of his position, and then into the offensive group or the defensive group respectively, step by step into the team.

But now, they were still standing outside the training base, and the head coach did not come, so the atmosphere paused for a moment.

Akons chuckled and stepped forward, "Ankuang, I'm David Akens, kicker, welcome to the 49ers." ”

As a kicker who has been in the league for many years and has wandered many times, he has long been familiar with self-introduction and rapid integration, and he knows that Lu Ke is not good at breaking the deadlock, so he took the initiative to stand up. Now that he has decided to continue to work hard for another year, Arkens doesn't mind being Lu Ke's helper and is looking forward to a good locker room environment.

Boulding paused for a moment, his body took a half step back slightly, and showed a panicked expression, "Huh? What the hell is going on? Doesn't that say, it's Family Day? Doesn't it mean that every player chooses their own relaxed outfit to attend? Why am I the only one dressed up? That's not what I've heard. ”

What's going on with this comic-style sense of comic humor? It's not the same as the boxer's art style!

Lu Ke was slightly stunned, and then raised his voice and said, "That's right, you choose the boxer style, and I choose the casual style of daily training." Don't care. ”

This is obviously lying with an open eye.

The smile on the corner of Boulding's mouth couldn't help but slowly raise it, and then gently bowed his head, "I see, so, is this a training day for new players?" This seems a bit pediatric, is this what you guys are all about? ”

Lu Ke then raised his voice and said, "No, this is just a training day for you alone. ”

Although they don't know who told Boulding that, they don't mind going on, after all, they were enemies on both sides not long ago, didn't they?

Boulding nodded in realization, looking back and forth, left and right. Sure enough, even the rookie players didn't have fancy clothes, which made him look like a super fool on his own, and this was the real training day.

"Good." Boulding nodded again and again, and said meaningfully, "Good! Very good! ”

"Is this Superman style? I think your cape is good. ”

"No, no, no, this is obviously a super team!"

"Why are you like this, maybe this is An Kuang's own style? Why do you always associate with superheroes? ”

"Perhaps, Ankuang is a professional football player by day and a superhero by night?"

"That's Batman!"

The gossip ridicule made Bording couldn't help but laugh dumbly.
