J. Spanky 03-12-2008, 11:17 AM I guess Indy pays Harrison and Wayne very well so perhaps it can be done. But I'd keep my eye on it.
the colts also run a wide open, pass first offense which the cards ran later this past year out of necessity but whisenhunt is expected to move away from asap.
at this point, boldin leaving arizona is just a rumour. however, i'd say the viability of it justifies discussion. i'm generally against trading draft picks. but for a young, productive, motivated, high character, immensely talented, big play receiver like anquan boldin - i'd cough up our first rounder and take his contract, as is. YES, i said it.

STOP the madness, please!!!
Schefter says NOTHING about the Cardinals' interest in trading Anquan Boldin. He's simply speculating that because Fitzgerald just got paid, Boldin will immediately demand a new contract (maybe, maybe not) and if he demands a new contract, the Cards will not be willing to pay him AND Fitzgerald (maybe, maybe not).
There's absolutely no substance to this whatsoever. This is an unfounded rumor with no insider knowledge. Not worthy of discussion.
No "inside source" cited, but JLC thinks it worth mentioning as well:
Redskins Insider (http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/)

Stop being logical!! We're fans, we're not supposed to be logical.
No, the article is just that, speculation.

I think it is worth a mention and then we can file it under "Keep an eye on this situation". But no serious discussion is needed I agree.
celts32 03-12-2008, 05:21 PM They will hold Boldin hostage at least one more year and then entertain trade offers at that point. He has a pretty low cap number now...so what if he wants a new deal. His time for a new deal will come. I would love for the Redskins to have him but unless you think Boldin is going to hold out and refuse to play next year there is absolutely no motivation for Arizona to trade him right now.

Ok, I have seen more pointless threads in here and never seen such a passionate reaction. You mean to tell me that this thread is worst than the million posts about trading for Chad Johnson, the threads to get washed up players such as Jerry Porter or David Givens, and the wonderful "Jay Glazer says there is a HUGEEE trade in the works"? (which was laughable in my opinion) Give me a break. When did you become the post police, if so then go rant into those others threads. Besides, most of the "ideal offseason" acquisitions have not happened, so I'm not saying that this will happen and it is set in stone. Sheesh.
Ruhskins 03-12-2008, 05:58 PM PS: Thanks for the thread title change, it makes more sense as it is now.

No problem

Boldin is signed through 2010 at an affordable rate. Salaries of $2.5 million, $2.75 million and $3 million due the next three years.
With that in mind, one has to wonder what it would cost the Cardinals to trade him.
He received a $5 million signing bonus in 2005 and a $5 million roster bonus in 2006, so trading Boldin NOW would accelerate a $5 million hit in dead money.
But on the other hand, the Cardinals would be looking at a $4.5 million cap hit in 2008 for keeping him.
So it is actually cheaper for the Cardinals to KEEP Boldin.
I'll bet that thought process on the part of the GM took all of 5 seconds
"Hmm get rid of him = $5,000,000
Keep him = 4,500,000"
