Doucet's role with the Cardinals could increase significantly in 2010 with the offseason departure of Anquan Boldin in a trade to the Baltimore Ravens.http://www.baltimoreravens.com/People/Players/Under_Contract-Own_Rights/Anquan_Boldin.aspx Arizona likely will move Steve Breaston into the No. 2 wide receiver position to replace Boldin, giving Doucet the opportunity to elevate to the No. 3 wide receiver on the team.
