Allow me to start a rumor

[CardShark]

and we'll see if it grows legs.


Cardinals release James, Hood and LaBoy in order to free up cap space in order to make a trade with the Philadelphia Eagles. In this trade the Cardinals would acquire disgruntled CB Sheldon Brown and a draft pick to be determined in the 2010 NFL draft. Brown became expendable after the Eagles traded for Patriots CB Ellis Hobbs who is expected to start opposite another former Patriot, Asante Samuel. Brown, fearing being relegated to being the number 3 or 4 on the Eagles roster demanded a trade. The draft pick will be determined what role Brown will fill in the Cards secondary. If he can earn the top spot, which is unlikely with the emergence of DRC, the Cards will take the Eagles 3rd round pick. If he's the #2 corner then the Cards will receive the Eagles 2nd round pick. If he only manages the #3 spot on the depth chart, the Cards will receive the Eagles #1 pick in the 2010 draft. The Cardnals vow to renegotiate his contract at the end of the 2009 season based on his performance that season.

What do the Cardinals have to give up in order to make this work? Their own disgruntled player, WR Anquan Boldin. After the Cards come to the conclusion that they can't or are unwilling to meet Boldins demands, they decide to move him.


What do you say about that?

If he's unhappy about having to compete for his job in Philly, then how will he be happy to come to Arizona?

In this rumor, what are the Cardinals giving up for Brown and one of their draft picks?

He feels that the Eagles have been trying to replace him there. He just might feel better going into a situation that he thinks he has a better shot at securing a starting position.

You must not have read it all, because I said Boldin would be the catalyst to make it happen.

It's only a rumor.

The draft pick will be determined what role Brown will fill in the Cards secondary. If he can earn the top spot, which is unlikely with the emergence of DRC, the Cards will take the Eagles 3rd round pick. If he's the #2 corner then the Cards will receive the Eagles 2nd round pick. If he only manages the #3 spot on the depth chart, the Cards will receive the Eagles #1 pick in the 2010 draft.

What do you say about that?

I'd say there is no truth to this baseless rumor...



But playing along, your reasoning related to the draft pick is faulty. If in this scenario Brown became a starting CB for the Cardinals, who is to say if he is the #1 or #2 corner? Anyway, the level of the draft pick would more likely be based upon the level of Boldin's performance, not that of Brown...

 

[splitsecond]

Boldin to philly would be extreme foolish, especially since the just picked up a great rookie wr. I hope the cards are smart enough to not basically hand philly the final piece to create what could be one of the most explosive passing games in the NFL.

NO WAY...!!!

Good thing it's just a rumor.

Cardshark, put down the bong my man!!!

 

[Hypothesis]

I don't see that taking place. But I'll add fuel to the fire and add my own scenario for kicks and giggles.

With the Cardinals clearing a little cap space, and an OLB/DE end position from the depth chart, as well as an expensive cb that with the signing of McFadden and the emergence of DRC would have made him a very expensive #3, the Cardinals will be in talks with Carolina about a sign and trade deal that will extend Boldin and come to a long term agreement with disgruntled DE Julius Peppers. It will be a straight up, 1 for 1 deal.

No way Philly pays Q the big bucks (see Sheldon Brown). They are in the process of re-negoiating with McNabb, and I would think that will be the only big contract they give out. They have a tough reputation when it comes to re-neg. JMO.

 

[Cbus cardsfan]

I think, if Boldin goes anywhere, it will be to the Giants for Kiawanuka and a draft pick. Kia moves into Laboys spot and we've upgraded. Of course, i don't know Kia's contract status but the Cards were reportedly interested in him.

They said they won't re-do Sheldon's contract because it still has 4 years on it. They won't feel the same about Boldin because it'll be his first contract with them. Even though they drafted what looks to be an excellent WR, they don't know how long it'll be before he can contribute. Boldin can get them in the SuperBowl now.

The Giants don't feel pressured to make a move like the Eagles do. Most of their team is filled with young players. The Eagles know they need to win it now.

 

[Vermont Maverick]

As long as we are starting rumors, mine is Boldin for Suggs. Hood appears to be a cap-move which would free up space, and we now need a legit pass rusher even more as we can't even hope that Laboy stays healthy. Not to mention 55 is now available...

As for signing our own, Dansby does not appear to have interest, and a Wilson signing will not have big cap implications.

In any event, with both Hill and Foote available, I think we will be players in signing a LB.

cardshark, JTS, the only really good shark-named rumor monger on here has to vet your rumor first. If he declares it valid, Mike Florio will claim it as his scoop in minutes.

I am already confused so it want happen.

How much of a laugh would that be?
