He is a 1300-1500 yard guy for several more years on most teams. Talk of being strictly a #2 is bullshit. You can't use the "he will be too old when we can contend' logic unless the team just never plans on winning.

Huh? 1,300-1,500 yard guy for most teams?
He's had TWO seasons where he amassed 1,300 yards: 2003 and 2005.
He is NOT a 1,300 yard guy. In KC, he'd be lucky to 1,000 yards behind this line, with this QB and with Dwayne Bowe on the other side.
Furthermore, he IS a number two receiver. PERIOD.
If he's your number one, your team is ****ED. Why? Because you're number one receiver is a speed guy that can separate downfield for big plays.
Boldin's an over the middle, TG, tight end type player that will make big plays for you occasionally, but he's a possession receiver.
I'd maybe give up one of the Chiefs 5th round picks for the guy but anything else is way too high given his age, recent injuries and the Chiefs massive needs up and down the roster.
