I like the idea of a 3rd rounder plus Adalius for Boldin. Wonder if Zona would be interested with Dansby being a FA.
Talent wise, if we could give a 2nd rounder and get Marshall or Boldin, I think almost everyone would take Marshall. However, a lot of people on this board don't think the Pats would go after a guy like Marshall due to his legal problems, problems with coaches, and him wanting to strike it rich.
Therefore, Boldin is the more realistic option, and a good one at that. I don't see how the Cardinals can have any leverage at this point. Breaston and Doucet have come along nicely, and Boldin only has one year left on his deal. They know he's going to be taking off after the 2010 season, so they might as well get what they can now.
I don't know if Boldin wants to be paid like a #1, but I think he feels he deserves a raise in salary. When the Cards sign Fitzgerald to a 4 year 40 million dollar extension with 30 million guaranteed, and Boldin is making 3 million per year, I could see him being upset. He feels like the team doesn't appreciate what he has done for them.
If we were to trade a 2nd rounder for him, I'd like to see him locked up for 2-3 years. I think he's the perfect #2 WR for our team. Then after 2010, when Boldin's cap hit increases, we let Moss walk and use one of our two first rounders on a Green, Jones, Baldwin, or Floyd. That would give us one of the aforementioned draftees, Boldin, Welker, Edelman, and hopefully a healthy Tate. That would be a great way to reload at WR, IMO.
