Seeking salary-cap relief, the Baltimore Ravens desperately wanted Anquan Boldin to accept a $2 million reduction in pay for the 2013 season. He didn't and now he's off to San Francisco to join the team he played against in Super Bowl XLVII.
The move didn't send off Twitter shockwaves like Percy Harvin's trade to the Seattle Seahawks, but plenty of players and NFL personalities took to tweet about Monday's trade.

Great move for the 49's in acquiring Anquan Bolden in trade. Wow only for a 6th rd draft pick. Bad move for Baltimore. Not smart. #pressure5
