Boldin a Redskin?

But he has 2 years remaining. And for a team to pry him away from the Cards, they would have to make an enormous offer.

The Cards say a 1st and a 3rd rounder. But that is where the bidding STARTS. It will take more than that to actually get the Cardinals to agree.

Then after 2 or more draft picks and maybe a player or two are dealt, the team that acquires him still has to sign Boldin to a contract. And he is looking for a big payday.

I think the price would be too steep for anyone.

I agree. The Cardinals can hold the flame to suitors. He's under contract with THEM for two more years so he can piss and moan all he wants but it wont get him too far. If he bucks, they'll fine the poop out of him and he'll eventually show up to training camp and play. If someone antes up, then they should get a 1st or 2nd rounder ideally. The longer the contract the higher the compensation...just like baseball. Nobody wants to pay a high price for a 6 month rental. If nothing else, a team trading for him this year would have him for two years if he didn't agree to a fat extension.
