Anquan Boldin is now in his third season with the Ravens, and after Tuesday's mandatory minicamp workout, the wide receiver said he expects the offense to be better than it has ever been during his time in Baltimore, and he says he hasn't played with a better group of wide receivers than they have now.

Ravens owner Steve Bisciotti touched on a variety of topics. Here are his thoughts on some of the prevailing subjects affecting the Ravens.

Baltimore Ravens head coach John Harbaugh ended his opening statement to reporters Wednesday with a shout-out to his five quarterbacks, but he mostly singled out Joe Flacco. But backup quarterback Tyrod Taylor, who is also in his second season, also had a strong practice Wednesday.

The continued development of second-year wide receiver Torrey Smith has been evident at the Baltimore Ravens' two organized team activities that were open to media. Tandon Doss, who has buffed up a bit, has also caught my eye. And then there's LaQuan Williams, now in his second NFL season, who continues to exceed expectations.

The NFL lockout cost last year's Ravens draft class a chance to acclimate slowly to pro football.

On paper -- and we know the dangers of evaluating football teams on that alone -- it doesn't appear the Baltimore Ravens have done much to improve an offense that ranked 12th in the NFL in points scored and 15th in total yards a season ago. But there is reason to believe that the offense will be better in 2012: They will finally have a little continuity.

At 31, Anquan Boldin is the oldest receiver on the Baltimore Ravens roster by a few years (newcomer Jacoby Jones is closest in age at 27).

Jeff Zrebiec delivers some observations after the Baltimore Ravens' first OTA viewing of the offseason.

From contract negotiations with quarterback Joe Flacco and running back Ray Rice to a potentially season-ending Achilles injury to star linebacker Terrell Suggs to coach John Harbaugh's comments on the New England Patriots to mercurial safety Ed Reed's controversial radio interviews, the Ravens have made plenty of off-the-field news this offseason.

The Ravens may lack experience at the wide receiver position, but they certainly don¿t lack depth. How much quality exists within that depth remains to be seen.

Courtney Upshaw has agreed to terms with the Baltimore Ravens.

In a span of a couple of hours last night, the Ravens signed wide receiver Jacoby Jones, reached a contract extension with veteran safety Bernard Pollard, agreed to terms with three of their draft picks and learned that star pass rusher Terrell Suggs had successful surgery to repair a torn Achilles¿ tendon.

The Ravens signed wide receiver Jacoby Jones and extended safety Bernard Pollard's contract. Jones could also make an impact in the return game.

The Ravens landed the veteran wide receiver and kick returner that they have been seeking, agreeing to a two-year, $7 million deal today with former Houston Texans wide receiver Jacoby Jones.

Still looking to add wide receiver depth and a veteran returner, the Ravens met Sunday with former Houston Texan Jacoby Jones.
