They might want an extra pick to take Adalius off our hands. Adalius would be happy in Phoenix. It is great weather to avoid putting in the proper prep, film, and workout time to become a great player.

LOL. A nice sunny place to put your toes up and relax. And you don't need to worry about snow on the way to work

Makes it clear that Bill wanted to make some big moves in Free Agency.

First Peppers, now Boldin.

Adam Schefter just mentioned they spoken to the Patriots, on NFL Live.

He still says the Ravens are favorites, though.

Damn Schefter

Hopefully Boldin comes to New England. Im not getting my hopes up just yet. Ive been disappointed to many times!

Please be true.

Except we don't have a 3rd, so it would have to be a 2nd or decent player (or perhaps a future 3rd, but more likely it would end up being a future 2nd).

************! The fact that the Pats don't currently have a third means nothing. You think BB or the Cards are going to let that detail (which can change at the drop of a hat) get in the way? Cards: "Sorry Bill, but the Ravens DO have a third, and that's the number we originally threw out there, so we feel obligated to reject your offer of your lowest 2nd, or 4th + conditional, or swapping some picks to make it happen.

This would be huge if this happened

WR is a big need, Boldin would fill that need in a big way.

The Ravens and the New England Patriots are among the teams trying to acquire Arizona wide receiver Anquan Boldin in a trade. At this point, the Patriots are considered the favorites, but the Ravens haven't been ruled out.

There has been speculation that the Ravens might consider free agent Kevin Walter the best value at wide receiver.

Baltimore Sun joins Wilson in calling the Patriots the favorites. Still wish Schefter was on the side calling the Pats the favorites.

Maybe one or the other is getting their sources confused. I'm sure Pioli and the Patriots have the same guys who leak stuff.

KC is intriguing though, surely they have bigger needs than WR?

Re: Aaron Wilson: Sources: Pats leader to land Boldin [Schefter: Deal close, BAL or K

If the Patriots can get Olsen and Boldin while giving up only one of your 2nd round picks and either lower picks or picks in 2011, that would be one hell of a start to the offseason. Bring back Neal and Faulk, and you've got your starting lineup locked and upgraded when/if Welker returns.

Wilson is damn good too, I honestly think he lands more stories than Schefter. This is interesting.

Hey, It's a hole that needs filling and he might be the right peg.
Peppers was a long shot with the $. I doubt if the Pats were really ever more than kicking the tires. At $12m that is way too much.

How much do you guys think Anquan wants to sign for?

We get him and Gocong (3rd or a trade) and resign Bodden.....Or would you trade #22 for Ray Edwards? Is there any twenty one year old kid who is better in the pass rush than Edwards who is only 25? Just sayin....

There is your DE, OLB and resign a very good CB (plus finalize Wilfork).

Swap for TE Olsen.

Maybe Thomas Jones

Not let's set up for the Draft.

Kinda goes against the whole Kraft is cheap and more interested in proving a point about the CBA than trying to put together a winner. Hey, but why let a bogus perception get ignored.

Fact is, whenever this team had big holes, Belichick has been agressive to fix them in the offseason. He might lose out on these marquee players, but at least he is trying.

KC needs everything. Their receiving corps was brutal to the point that Chambers, cut from S.D., was a huge upgrade to that team.

They currently have Dwayne Bowe, Quinten Lawrence, Lance Long, and Chandler Williams under contract at WR. They have no WR RFAs or ERFAs.
