How Will Cardinals Handle Boldin Following Fitzerald Restructuring?

[Schneed10]

STOP STOP STOP!!!

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.

Yes but it is still fun to speculate about the possibilities.

Hey, the Cardinals made a statement between the lines with the Fitzgerald deal. They sent a message loud and clear as to who their long term solution is at the WR position and Boldin will realize it is NOT him.

The Cards cannot afford to pay Boldin the same type money that they just committed to Fitzgerald. All Boldin will be looking for a commitment similar to what Fitzgerald got.

Now when Boldin starts asking for a trade or new deal, with the money already committed at the WR position, you can bet that Arizona will be more apt to trade Boldin than Fitzgerald and may allow Boldin to seek a trade.

Sure there is nothing concrete and it is mere speculation. But this is a very realistic scenario and not a pipe dream in any sense. So it is interesting to discuss.

Reason and level-headedness have no place in the off-season.

It's the off season bro. What do you expect? I know this is down right silly to talk about. Perhaps this thread could've been re named. It's an interesting situation because now Boldin is going to want a new deal. Fitz is now making 4 times as much a Boldin. Just for the balance of pay structure of the team I'd probably think that Boldin would have to be on the move in the future. Don't you? 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.

No "inside source" cited, but JLC thinks it worth mentioning as well:
Redskins Insider

Because he has absolutely nothing else to say. How long until the draft?

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.

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.
