Jacksonville is desperate for WR's. Trade him for John Henderson or trade him to Miami for Ted Ginn jr.

Decent value (draft picks) and I'll live.

Any trade we'll do is going to be for draft picks. Player-for-player trades just dont happen often. Expect a first or second rounder with a 2nd day pick packaged with it

Hey, if I told you guys that I didnt want to be a Cards' fan anymore and that I was gonna go root for the Cowboys, youd turn on me in a heartbeat too!

Man, red desert, I saw Jackson make play after play in one playoff game last year. He was practically unstoppable. That's one game, grant you. But, that game made quite an impression on me.

BTW...I said I'd have to think three times about Jackson and a #3 for Q. I didn't commit one way or the other.

He did it the year before too. The problem is the other 16 games in between. The Chargers thought enough of him to Draft Buster Davis in the first, then trade for Chambers. Jackson is best suited as a 3rd WR. with talent ahead of him

Wiz and Q have to have a meeting before the Raiders game and work their differances out, be traded or suspended. We cannot go into week 1 with this problem hanging over the teams head. Deal with, move on and play football.

Read the Urban on azcardinals.com

Saw that. I truly believe that Boldin will play one more season and we will trade him while he still has tremendous value. At this rate, its the most sensible option

What I don't like about trading him for draft picks is it doesn't do anything to help us this year.

I honestly didn't expect Q to push this issue. I'm disappointed we have so many other issues to resolve before the season we don't need the distraction of an agent and star player playing I'm feeling ignored so you have to trade me.

This just sucks, I hate when pro athletes remind me that they really don't care if they win or lose as long as they get more money.

Q is not going anywhere. He ,at worst, should be very motivated to have a great year and that would be good for us.

Why should he try to have a great year for a mere 3m salary?
1. It will make him even more attractive to other teams.
2. It will make it easier for the Cards to accomodate his demands.

I love the guy and had he not already have signed an extension after his second year I would be totally on his side.
One other thing. If I trade him it would be to the AFC period.

Fu.Q

He needs to shut up and play ball. He took the signing bonus the Cards gave him at the beginning of this contract. If he is so set on getting out of it, he should give that money back. Is he talking about that? No.

What a money-grubbing idiot. I have always been proud that our receivers let their play do the talking for them. Q has gone to the dark side.

He went from being my hero to being a chump in five minutes flat.

Right now, I hope they force him to play out the contract. Not because I want this whiner on the team but because I want the Cards to stick it to him and his agent. We own him for 3 years. Let's squeeze every nickel out of him and use up all his value in the process.

This is coming from a guy who used to think of his Anquan Boldin autographed jersey as his prized possession. He had his chance to negotiate. He blew it. My loyalty is to the Cards. I guess that is more than can be said for this guy.

The worst part about this is that Boldin's mouth is decreasing his value for the Cards. They may never get value in return for him through no fault of their own. God this sucks.

Some of you who are trashing Q now are the same ones who were swinging from his manhood like Tarzan not too long ago. The man is treating his business like a business, I dont blame him a bit. Teams dont have to honor their contracts so why should the players?

I know for a fact that if my employer were paying someone of equal value to me 4 Xs what I was making I would give them 1 chance to match it THAT DAY or I would be going to another company that would pay me my new market value.

These guys are not captive gladiators out there for spectator entertainment, they are men with lives and families that they have to think of.

I don't care if either party honors the contract. What I care about is that Q trashes his team and his coach. You don't see teams trash their players (unprovoked) like this in the media when they void a contract. That is the difference.

Teams void contracts based on performance. Players would like to void contracts based on ego and perceived "disrespect".

It's the principle of the thing that irks me. Q lost his manhood tonight.

What is really unfortunate here is how many fans have turned their back on Q. Here is a guy who is the heart and soul of this football team, who leaves it all on the field every Sunday, and one of the true stand up guys left in this league and now everyone wants to ship him out of town. It's no surprise to me that there are a number of teams lining up for a chance to get him. Boldin is a real football player unlike many Cardinal players before him and he just wants to be paid like the other guy. I knew it was going to be trouble when they signed Fitz to that enormous contract. It's too bad they can't pay each guy 8 million a year but those escalators in Fitz's contract screwed that up. I hope the situation can be resolved before it gets really ugly because replacing a player of Q's caliber is a tall order.

Yeah a few months ago Q was the gold standard and Fitz was the greedy me first player.

I agree with you the most on here and this is something i've been saying for a long time now.

I think the issue with most people is the report that Graves approached him to extend him last year and he turned them down, supposedly to earmark his salary off of Larry's. It just reeks of greed when AZ did the right thing after his second year and gave him a new deal when they didn't need to. If Quan played his contract out and had faith that AZ would take care of him, as he claimed all offseason, we would love him and he would get his deal. BUT.... he has quickly turned into a guy who is exactly the type of player he always appeared to be the antithesis of.
