Rumor: Boldin for a 2nd round pick - New England Patriots Forums

mcgraw_wv · 02-08-2010, 07:20 AM

My dad told me about a rumor he heard somewhere on another site about how there may be interest in the Patriots sending a 2nd round pick to the cardinals for Boldin.

Has anyone else heard this?

Trade for the beast.

I wouldn't be surprised if it happens, but I think the rumor is probably bogus. It hasn't been reported here nor have any of the media that I know of reported it.

What I'm guessing he saw/read is that (A) Boldin might be available for a 2010 2, and (B) the Pats need a receiver and happen to have three 2s.

It might happen, but part of the problem is that Boldin wants a bigger contract.

Then pay him.
He would be fantastic. Whats he looking for 7/8 mill a year?

Bodden wants a contract bigger than Larry Fitz .So yes we can get him and make him the higest paid player till brady is resigned.

not sure what message it send when you sign some one long term and the highest paid player when players like vince , brady ,mankins ,bodden waiting to get a contract.

If any year was the right year, this might be it.

Moss, Edelman, Tate, Boldin is a good start. If (big if?) Welker is back after starting on PUP, that could make a decent top of the WR list for next year. And yes, I recognize Tate hasn't proven anything yet.

If the Patriots got Boldin, Brady might break his 2007 records LOL

First, wanting and getting are two different things.

Second, Boldin might have come down from his demands as Fitzgerald has consistently putting more and more distance between him and Boldin talent-wise. The fact that the Cards could only get a third rounder in a trade for him last year when they offered him up last offseason might have hit Boldin with the reality of his real worth.

Boldin is 30 years old too.
