DRC getting one is what is making everyone want every player who retires to have a career tribute. Baldwin was very valuable to Seattle. Did a lot that doesn't show up on a stat sheet. He was a leader in a locker room that had a young franchise QB and a lot of personalities.
Having said all of that, he was never a top 5 receiver in the game at any point in his career. His numbers aren't anything to write home about. And he didn't have a long career. He shouldn't get one. Just doesn't have the body of work. Sucks how it ended for him. He will have a big impact in his post football life. The Hawks should let him rest up for a bit then get him in the building in some capacity. Front office or position coach work seems like a good start.
