Also, if he sincerely wants out of Arizona, particularly if it is because of his contract, why give anything up for him now when 1) it would mean inheriting the contract that he wants out of so badly to begin with, 2) we could probably get him without giving anything up when he Arizona has no choice but to let him walk.

Ha…don’t exactly think that the Cardinals would go for that. I think he will cost a first round pick (or maybe early 2nd). But I don’t think the Cardinals would trade him within the division. By the way I don’t think the Cardinals will cut him, there will definitely be a trade market for them if their contract dispute continues. As an aside I have to respect Boldin for playing through his contract even though he thinks he deserves better.

I don’t think he is another TO. He isn’t a publicity whore like Owens, he just wants a better contract and he probably deserves one. If we were to trade for him, we would have to rework his deal and give him some more money.

Bryant Johnson drops as many balls as he catches; Bryant Johnson fumbles when he gets nailed; Bryant Johnson spends more time in the training room (at least Q has an excuse!).

Mr. Niner, I know Anquan Boldin, and Bryant Johnson is no Anquan Boldin.

All kidding aside, Anquan is a fine man and has been proactive in the community and with the franchise. The Anquan Boldin that made all the noise in the media in August was the puppet head of Drew Rosenhaus. The Anquan Boldin that has been doing a Chris Carter impersonation (all he does is score touchdowns) is the “real” Anquan. Professional. Inspirational. Leader. Pro-bowler.

Does Q deserve more money? Hell yes. Will the Cardinals do everything they can to pay him? Yes. They will try but they will only go so far. Anquan isn’t the only “professional, inspirations, leader, pro-bowler” on the Cardinals’ roster (Hell truly must be freezing over), as Karlos Dansby wants to be paid, Adrian Wilson deserves to be paid more, Kurt Warner wants to play and get paid, Antonio Smith wants to be paid, next year’s rookie class will be overpaid…you get the idea. The Cards want to pay him but they want to pay others, especially if this mixture of players goes somewhere in the post-season.

Will Anquan get traded? I’m about 60-40 on that; if he does, he will not be traded within the division and most likely not in the conference. I’d guess that Jacksonville or Miami could be likely places to find himself since he calls Florida home.

Since this thread is an excercise in mental masturbation, just to play along, Frank Gore for Anquan Boldin, straight up. :P
