Dark horse teams in the Boldin market

John Clayton on ESPN this morning stated that a first and third is what the cards are asking.

I hope he's wrong. We need more that that, in my view.

I doubt the Cardinals are "asking" anything. They probably let teams know, if they come with an offer, it starts there and let the bidding war begin.

I'd rather keep a pissed Boldin for at least another year than trade him for some over the hill RB's and unkown draft picks...

How about sending him to the Vikings for their 1st a 4th and Chester Taylor?

I'll call Chris Spielman up and tell him to get his brother,Rick,Vikings GM, to get that deal done.

I think the Jets would the best place to send Boldin.

#17 pick and he would go to the AFC.

Not enough. Need that 3rd rounder to go with it or no dice. And they may be willing to do it.

Baltimore is my choice. Looks like they're interested.

Source: Ravens want Boldin

It would likely cost first- and third-round picks to acquire Cardinals wide receiver

By Jamison Hensley | [email protected] |Baltimore Sun reporter4:51 PM EDT, April 16, 2009

The Ravens have expressed interest in trading for Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin, a league source confirmed Thursday.

It would likely take a first- and a third-round draft pick to acquire Boldin, who had 80 catches for 1,038 yards and 11 touchdowns last season. He has two years remaining on a six-year, $33.99 million deal, but he is seeking a new contract.

Asked whether the Ravens have contacted the Cardinals about Boldin, general manager Ozzie Newsome said Thursday, "With the draft coming up, I've had a chance to talk to eight different teams over the past 48 hours."

The other teams that could pursue Boldin are the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and New York Jets, according to ESPN.
