CARDINALS SHOPPING BOLDIN
Posted by Mike Florio on March 12, 2009, 3:59 p.m.

Kurt Warner might get to keep his $2 million, after all.

A league source tells us that the Arizona Cardinals are shopping receiver Anquan Boldin to potential trade partners.

Warner recently has suggested that he’d devote a portion of his salary to signing Boldin to a new contract. (We don’t think Warner really means it.)

Boldin, a six-year veteran, is signed through 2010. He has wanted for roughly a year a significant increase from his current range of $2.5 million to $3 million.

With teammate Larry Fitzgerald at $10 million per year, Boldin is believed to want at least $9 million annually.

Boldin previously has requested a trade. At one point after the Super Bowl, Boldin said that he would not sign a new deal with the Cardinals, and that he wanted to be dealt to a new team. More recently, he had softened in his position, expressing a willingness to consider a new long-term contract to stay with the team.

With an elite wideout like Larry Fitzgerald, you could stick Corky from "Life Goes On" in Boldin's place and still not miss a step on offense.

We gotta keep our draft picks.

3rd Rounder and TG or LJ but not both.

This is why the Cards are going to get big compensation for him. They're going to play divisional rivals against each other. Oh wait, it's the Bidwill's. They'll probably ship him to us for a conditional 6th and the key Brian Waters used to use to get into the front office.

While I don't think we should be trading any more picks this year(unless we get some back through other trades), I would not be upset in the least if Boldin was traded to the Chiefs. Like the Cassel/Pioli connection, you know Haley knows AB better than anybody else, and if he really wants to bring him to his team, I would be very happy to see Boldin catching passes from our new Quarterback.

I think we all forget that Haley and Boldin didn't exactly look chipper with one another on the sidelines of the NFC Championship Game. Granted, it was one game and emotions were running high....but still....not a good sign.

Trade Larry and a 4th for him.

CaliforniaChief · 03-12-2009, 04:57 PM

The only folks who seriously think Boldin is going to end up here are the few folks on the earth who think the Saints got a steal in the Ricky Williams deal.

I doubt it. Boldin has been better than Fitz every year except for this years playoffs IIRC.

I wasn't giving Boldin credit more than I was giving Corky mad props.

Boldin is no where near as good as Fitz.... he doesn't deserve a contract anywhere near him.

Personally I think he will flop wherever he goes.

Based on what?

Boldin was a stud before Fitz ever got there.

Basically I'm talking out of my ass like most of the people here, but I can admit it. Its just my opinion, not fact.

I just have a gut feeling Boldin will not have as good of a career as Fitz. He will be traded for good money, and not produce like he is getting paid to do.
IE: Larry Johnson and a million other players that receive big contracts.
While I know the dude needs to get paid... it seems like he has a love for money, not a love for the game.
