Not to beat a dead horse...

Not to beat a dead horse...but word on the street is that the asking price for Boldin is now a second rounder. Doesn't it seem that a proven pro bowl caliber WR is worth a second round pick? Seems like his hard nosed attitude would fit with Coach Singletary. I know I KNOW. Tons of people have already posted this topic before but this new development seemed fanpost worthy. It might be hard to pry him from arizona considering we are an in division rival but for a second round pick? Seems like a no brainer to me. What do you all think? Do you think the niners should trade their second round pick for Boldin? Will they trade for Boldin?

Divisional trade

The price may be coming down, but do the Cardinals really trade him within the division? The ESPN article mentions the Jets, Giants and Eagles.

+1

If I’m the Cardinals I’d trade Boldin to the Jets for a 2nd and 3rd round pick before I traded him to the Niners for a 1st round pick. I would just keep Boldin under his current contract before I traded him to the Niners.

Don't sweat it. I'm illiterate.

If he plays the same than I’ll take him too.

If It took just a 2nd rounder then Im sure a deal would be done. It has to be more then that, and the Niners must have some reason for staying out of a deal. I would love to get Boldin though.

Cards aren't that dumb

They aren’t going to be trading him within the division. If they were, I’d even consider a rd1 and rd4 as acceptable for Boldin. But still, nobody trades superstars within their division to teams starving at that position.

I just don’t see Boldin going anywhere. Kurt Warner would scream mutiny and call it a career without his whole cast returning. If they trade Boldin for a 2nd rounder, then someone over there should be fired.

Rays in '08.... Desmond Jennings - the breakout continues.....

Totally agree. Hey, if we could get Boldin for a second rounder, I’d jump all over it if I were the GM.

But if I’m the Cardinals, any division rival that asks about it, I’d probably still ask for at least a first rounder.

I'm thinking but nothing's happening.

hilarious/terrible

Boldin is definitely “hard-nosed”:

Throwback unis? Yes. Throwback afros? YES!

Right on,

You got to wonder why so cheap for a great talent. What happen with that million Warner was suppose to give up. Did god say to keep it?

No team wants to give the draft picks and have to pay him a big contract on top. The 49ers should agree to kick in a few million just to get him out of the conference.

49er killer? That's Okay with me. We're at least $10 million under the Cap

Besides, If you're going for a Pro WR, Why not Brandon Edwards?

by LASVEGASNINER on Apr 24, 2009 8:10 PM PDT up reply actions 0 recs

Yes

Big time 49er killer. I’ve seen us at least bottle up Fitzgerald for a few quarters. However, whenever AZ really needs a play they kill us with Boldin. We are not alone, he essentially is AZ running back and closer. They toss Boldin a 1-2 yard pass let him barrel forward for a 5-8 yard gain.
