No...he's still under contract. He wanted a new one or he wanted to be traded.

I'm going to go with a no. We're not where we need to be right now as a team.....to be trading for other teams players. If we were set to make the playoffs next year and our only hole was the WR position....then yes. As it is right now....we need ALL of our draft picks to build a foundation for this team for years.

Coming from the organization that gave Randy Moss a 3rd try, I wouldn't rule anything out.

From what I see is that Boldin has two issues...

1 - He's a top flight WR who wants to be paid as such. Remember he wasn't a high draft pick.

2 - He probably doesn't like being 2nd fiddle to Fitzgerald. Seems like he hasn't gotten many balls this off-season.

If he came here he'd probably be paid and he's immediately be our best WR. I'd welcome him in a heartbeat. The guy's a stud.

Heh. That's what non-Chiefs fans like to refer to as "post-season" or "playoffs."

"Boldin has three years left on the four-year, $22.75 million extension he signed after the 2005 season that keeps him under contract through 2010. He's making an average of $4 million a year."

They backed up an armored truck and dumped it in Fitzgeralds pocket right after the rise in the salary cap and Q got all bent and wants his share.

I'm sure people would get over it when he's putting up 1200 yard seasons.

The guy had a blow up that got caught on camera. I wonder how many arguments there are between players, coaches, etc that we never talk about because we don't see them.

He would be a great addition to this team.

RustShack 01-19-2009 02:52 PM

I wouldn't give up a lot for him at this stage at our rebulid, but if we can trade for him without losing much or hes just let go I would LOVE to have him.

not sure how good it would work out if Haley is the enxt head coach...

FREEMAN CALLS BOLDIN A “JACKASS”
Posted by Mike Florio on January 18, 2009, 11:40 p.m.

Our buddy Mike Freeman of CBS Sports had some choice words for Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin, based on his behavior during Sunday’s NFC title game.

Freeman points out that, as the FOX cameras demonstrated, Boldin engaged in a fourth-quarter argument with offensive coordinator Todd Haley.

After the game, Boldin still had his panties in a bunch. Per Freeman, he abruptly left the field while his teammates were celebrating the victory, and then he abruptly left the locker room.

“I have to say in nearly 20 years of doing this, I’ve never seen a player more concerned about his arguing with a coach over making a Super Bowl,” Freeman writes. “What Boldin did almost never happens. Congratulations on making history, Anquan.”

It’ll be interesting to see what kind of legs this thing grows over the next two weeks.

And if it was part of Boldin’s plan to get out of town, it just might have worked.

A bargain for 1 year anyways.

Huge difference between Moss and Boldin.

Moss was pissed that the rest of the team didn't give a crap if the team won or lose and only gripped when the team sucked.

Boldin was bitching on the day the team won the NFCCG.

Oh heck no. Noone wearing lime-green should ever be allowed on this team! :cuss:

It wasn't just the sideline deal. Supposedly he left the stadium at the whistle instead of you know, celebrating a super bowl birth with his teamates.

We're in a perfect position to draft Crabtree if a WR is that big a priority.
I wouldn't trade a Day 1 pick for Boldin.
We have bigger fish to fry.
