Well imagine if we could stock the receiver depth chart like this to start season 2010/2011.

1. Moss
2. Boldin
3. Stallworth
4. Tate
5. Edelman
6. Aiken
7. Stanback
8. Slater

I/R
Welker.

It would be cool seeing Boldin in a Pats uni, not at the expense of a Wilfork extension though.

Boldin is in the last year of his contract and he seems to have lost some speed and most of his routes are underneath almost like a bigger Wes Welker.

Pros:
Legitimate threat that other teams have to plan for
Help mitigate loss of Welker in short and intermediate passing game
Relatively inexpensive

Cons:
Physical style of play makes him susceptible to injury
Potential attitude mismatch with Pats
One-year rental (does not address long-term needs)

The cons as I see them are potential issues. The tangibles say that he would be a valuable asset for the passing attack. The only real con is the short term for which we would have him, and the false sense of security it might bring if the Pats have a monster passing year next season.

If that is the truth, I'll give up 2 number 2's... ok, maybe not, but we need some more of this type of hard nosed mentality on the team. It's contagious! Get him here, yesterday please!

That would be optimal. LOL. What a sick WR corps, with Welker hopefully coming back mid-season.

He'd definitely be a great asset for the 2010 season. I'd give up a 2nd rounder for him. As you said there aren't really any major cons, just potential ones. I think his attitude thing is overblown by the media. The guy feels it is unjust that he is making 3 million per year while Fitzgerald got the big pay day. After all he's done for that team, I can't really blame him for being upset.

I think if he came here and had a good year for us, he would want to stay and we'd want to keep him. I don't think he's a guy looking to break the bank, just looking to be rewarded for his hard work, which I respect. If for 2011 we re-signed Boldin, had a fully healthy Welker and Tate, and had Edelman, we could let Moss walk and use one of our two first round picks on an elite WR talent like AJ Green, Julio Jones, Jonathan Baldwin, or Michael Floyd. I prefer Green or Baldwin, but would take any of those guys. They're all gamebreakers. I gotta relax, I'm starting to get ahead of myself

Lol yeah you gotta respect a guy that plays with the kind of passion that Boldin plays with. He's one of the toughest WR's I've ever seen play. I love his style.

I believe I read that somewhere too. The doctors said he wanted to get up and walk off the field himself, instead of being taken off on a stretcher, but they wouldn't let him.

A guy with that type of passion, toughness, and physicality is exactly what the Pats need at WR. Hopefully BB will kick the tires on Boldin. He'd look great in red, white, and blue.

This would be ok with me

however, i would like to WW on the PUP instead of IR

tanked_as_usual

boldin has not put together a full season in 4 years

Deus Irae

If you're giving up a 2nd round pick for him, you want him for more than one year. The question then becomes the reasonableness of his contract demands. He was asking for too much out in Arizona.
