Chiefs Would You Trade Our 3rd Rnd Pick For Boldin? - Page 9

Per Rotoworld:

Beat writer Kent Somers expects the Cardinals to be "earnest in their efforts to trade" Anquan Boldin this offseason.

Their best offer last year was reportedly a third-round pick and another player, and Somers suspects that offer might be enough to do the trick this time around. Boldin, 29, has been injury prone as he enters the final year of his contract. The Cardinals are 6-2 without him over the past two years, and they're confident in Steve Breaston and Early Doucet replacing his production. Jan. 22 - 10:34 am et

Since we have an upper third round pick, perhaps we don't need to send a player along with it?

I really feel great giving a WR on the downhill slope of his prime a contract more than twice as bit as what he was making when he was less injury prone and making big plays.

We acquired a 2nd for Gonzo, what's wrong with giving up less for a younger Boldin?

Willie Roaf was an all-world LT coming off a major injury who played a premium position.

They gave him virtually peanuts of a contract.

That's a really ****ing stupid comparison.

I'd rather see the Chiefs find a younger free agent or draft someone. If the Chiefs were ready to make their run and they were a couple of players away, I'd go for it, but not under the current circumstances.

Holy Tebow Mercy ****: patteeu has a football brain. And one more year in the skids for Mr. Boldin; that's an easy 5th round pick up.

(IF the bosses are interested)
