TJ Houshmandzadeh (Now A Raven): Undervalued?

How does this impact the value of Flacco, Rice, Boldin and Housh?

Thats a really good question. So hard to figure since the name Housh does not bring to mind a player who would be drummed out of Seattle. If his ouster in Seattle was a personal matter, he should help Flacco and Boldin, possible reduce the role in the pass game of Rice.
If the Seahawks dumped him because he got slower and was disinterested in doing the things required to be a top reciever, then he will have little impact.

IMO
Clearly he is in decline. His stats will not eclipse last years'. Unfortunately the Housh that we all loved 3-4 yrs ago is gone.
Let's move on.

He might not surpass last year's stats but it isn't due to decline, it will be because he's likely the #4 target and is learning a new system. Last year had Housh receiving from Seneca Wallace for a quarter of the season and a debilitated Hasselbeck the rest. The O-line didn't give the passing game a chance (nor did it the running game for that matter). I think reports that he's "done" are greatly exaggerated, similar to the tune of how "done" Tomlinson was in '09 or how great Thomas Jones will be as a Chief or Terrell Owens being finished. Face it, this is a team sport and when the rest of your team sucks even great players can't compensate and their stats suffer.

It might be ok to take a pass on him this year, but you're doing it for the wrong reasons and 2011 will show a different player assuming he stays with Baltimore.

Can't jump to any conclusions but there is no way this hurts Flacco's value...it increases Housh's value since his situation went from crappy Hasselbeck to perrty good Flacco...Who knows with Boldin/Mason/Rice.
