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.

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.

That is crazy. Boldin works hard as hell. He practically got his whole face smashed in last year and came back strong way quicker than most anyone would have. He would be a great pick-up, but I say no way it happens.

OK so why do people freak out so much when you talk about trading decent draft picks? All draft picks are like 50/50 chance of them being at all worth their salt regardless of round...then you end up paying them what proven NFL players get. Is it the draft day buzz or what? I would jump on the opportunity to get Boldin or other proven, relatively young NFL players. I'm an advocate for building both through draft and the free agency. But Boldin is a sick talent....like a brilliant receiver, tight end, and half back wrapped into one. There is not a better possession receiver in the league. I just don't think that Haley would be too keen on getting him. Just sayin...curious for draft response.

I couldn't disagree more. He's a great possession receiver with some of the best after the catch skills I've ever seen. He works great with slants, screens, going over the middle... He's not the type of receiver where the quarterback has to have a lot of pocket time to be utilized...sounds like exactly what we need with our 2 second quarterback pocket time.

Boldin would be a great addition because we really need a burner opposite Bowe.

It's too bad Boldin has questionable hands, though. And it would be better if he were willing to go across the middle.

KCBOSS1 · 03-12-2009, 09:09 PM

he goes across the middle doesn't he? I thought that was how he got his face smashed.

He's too fast to go across the middle.

He got hurt crashing into the wall after a TD catch, cause he couldn't slow down.

Throw LJ into the deal to keep our #1 pick and you have a deal. They need a HB, and Haley already knows what he's getting out of Boldin.
