Chiefs Would You Trade Our 3rd Rnd Pick For Boldin? - Page 7

Marco Polo · 01-22-2010, 09:44 AM

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?

Anquan Boldin: 'I wouldn't mind playing for Chiefs' Todd Haley'
by Joel Thorman on Apr 16, 2009 3:28 PM CDT 57 comments

via urbansportstalk.files.wordpress.com

We've received some news via 610 Sports that multiple players on the Kansas City Chiefs are not fans of new coach Todd Haley. Apparently his former players with the Arizona Cardinals don't feel the same way.

Anquan Boldin appearing on the Michael Irvin show (via Dallas Morning News):

Boldin, who said he just has a player-coach relationship with former Cardinals coordinator Todd Haley, said he wouldn't mind playing for him in Kansas City.

Of course Boldin says this the same day I say there is no chance the Chiefs give up the reported asking price, 1st and 3rd round pick, for the Cardinals receiver.

Boldin also said he wouldn't mind playing in the NFC East either.

I wouldn't read too much into this. Boldin likely won't be coming here - it takes two to tango and it would be very out of character for GM Scott Pioli to give up the Chiefs' first three picks in the 2009 NFL Draft.

What's intriguing about this is that we have just heard that multiple players in Kansas City reportedly do not like new coach Todd Haley. 610 Sports reports that Will Franklin was a "marked man" by Haley which prompted his request for his release.

Boldin and Haley had an on-camera tiff during the playoffs last year. Both players came out of the situation saying it was a no big deal. But that, combined with the reports from 610 Sports that Haley gets in fights with players a lot, makes more than a few people nervous that the new coach is going about business the wrong way in Kansas City.

Not that we needed the Boldin-to-KC rumor mill fodder but it makes for an interesting offseason.

Yes, exactly

For $6 million dollars i'd let you sodomize me with a cucumber and I'd pretend to like it.

That doesn't mean I like cucumbers...

Pioli Zombie · 01-22-2010, 03:39 PM

Yes yes. And more yes. Boldin,Bowe,Chambers,and Charles. Plenty of tools for Weis and Cassel.
Ok..that sounded wrong.

Or bet your the kind of pussy bitch who holds a grudge for life if you have a minor disagreement with someone one time.

If that were true multiple members of this BB would have killed me already.

You only hold a grudge if you're the stupid type of bidge that picks it up to begin with...

Baltimore should be all over this. They should be in full on win now mode to try and get another championship before Ed Reed and Ray Lewis are gone, once they are, the window is closed for a few years.

If I were them, I would offer Chambers a big contract and trade for Boldin. That would give them a lethal receiving corps and would complement their running game very well.

**The Bad Guy** · 01-22-2010, 04:18 PM

Boldin is going to command at least 5 year, 55 million dollar deal with 25 million guaranteed. He's 29. He's hurt, a lot. He's a physical receiver who's body may not hold up until he's 34.

There's no way I'm trading for him and then giving him a big contract. He's a stud player no doubt, but this team needs to avoid acquiring a soon to be 30 year old player.

There are options in the draft like Tate, Gilyard, Shipley that should be explored.

Boldin is nice for a team on the verge, but he should not fit here.

I doubt any team gives him a deal that long, unless it has a significant roster bonus due after the second year. You may be right though.

What makes you think he will demand that type of guaranteed coin?

Larry Fitzgerald signed for 4/40 in 2008, I cant see Boldin being worth more than that to any team.

CoMoChief · 01-22-2010, 04:59 PM

**** NO

RustShack · 01-22-2010, 05:00 PM

The only reason he wanted traded in the first place is because of Fitzgeralds contract.

Roy Williams, a clearly inferior player who has never posted anything close to Boldin, scored a 5 year, 45 million dollar deal with 20 guaranteed 2 seasons ago. That's the floor to any deal for him.

Also, Fitzgerald gave the home team a discount with that deal. Boldin is giving the Chiefs no discounts. He is on his 3rd contract and he's going to want to cash in because his rookie deal didn't pay him much whereas Fitz's did.

Have Pioli reach on some nobody in the third or trade that 3rd for a Probowler with 4-5 seasons over 1000 yards. Youre just arguing for the sake of arguing. You don't even have an opinion.

**BigMeatballDave** · 01-22-2010, 05:19 PM

I didn't consider the huge contract he'll want. I think I'll pass now.
