It wasnt stirring the pot but what Boldin said was so laughable about the whole 15 teams thing and how can a team make an offer if they didnt even know what the Cards wanted.
First he says he knows of 15 teams because he talked to players who talked to their GM. What GM is actually going to tell said player their real plans, knowing that all the players talk to each other and rumors become wild fire because of that, and what GM wouldnt tell said player "sure we would be interested", but said GM never says at what cost. Being interested and making it happen are two different things. Its like saying sure I would be interested in a new Prosche, but I dont have what it takes to make it happen.
Then Boldin said, "But what is the right deal if you've never said it". Um, does Boldin not know how an auction work. The auctioneer knows what the sellers price is set at and he wont sell it if the winning bid is under that amount, but the people bidding dont know this, its how you get the best price. You dont come out and say I will sell this item for $50 bucks, let the bidding start at $100.
Boldin didnt make a fuss and said mostly the right things in the end but those two statements were completely ridiculous.
