I've had enough I'm done.

Are the Bidwiils still Europe?
IMHO Nothing'll shake out until their home and settled and get a report from Coach Green.

I am unconcerned, mostly on the strength of what Harry has reported.

When you negotiate deals, you hit a point where both sides know that they have a deal, except for a handful of minor points that the lawyers need to iron out. If one side or another has a timeframe (i.e., cant have the only guy who reported sign before a holdout), the back and forth on these last few issues can easily stretch out for weeks, if not months.

If Harry's report is accurate on Drew's motivation, the Cardinals are in no hurry with Boldin in camp, and it only delays having to write a big check -- so the extension goes at Drew's timeframe.
