Seattle is currently making their move for Marshall.

Batlimore is close to landing Boldin (with NE and KC having offers in).

This all per Adam Schefter.

The Arizona Cardinals have multiple trade offers for wide receiver Anquan Boldin and are close to determining which one they'll accept.

PFT has heard that the Baltimore Ravens, Kansas City Chiefs and New England Patriots are all interested in acquiring Boldin from the Cardinals.

Adam Schefter of ESPN reports that the Cardinals have spent much of Friday weighing their offers and determining which one to take. Schefter says that right now, the Ravens are the leading contenders.

Although it was reported this week that the Cardinals wanted a third-round draft pick for Boldin, it's possible that the presence of multiple bidders for his services has upped the price.

The 29-year-old Boldin had 84 catches for 1,024 yards and four touchdowns in 2009.

I'm going to merge this with jammer's post, SC.

Marshall is supposed to be visiting Seattle this weekend.

That's fine JC. Looks like the Ravens will get Anquan.

NOT cool...................


Just read this on nationalfootballpost.com:

Seeing as how Belichick has 3 2nd round picks to play with, he can easily outbid other teams if he wishes to.

New England could probably land both Greg Olsen and Anquan Boldin for 2nd round picks and still have one leftover for the draft. I still see Baltimore pushing hard for Boldin.

According to the Seattle Times, the Seahawks would send the No. 6 overall pick in the draft to Denver if they signed Brandon Marshall to a restricted free agent offer sheet.
The sides could always work out something different, but the direct offer-sheet compensation would be the 6th pick because Seattle acquired its other first-rounder (No. 14) via trade. It's unclear if the Broncos want to draft that high. The price of rookie contracts in the top-eight is exorbitant.

well there goes Dez Bryant!

Maybe not .. Denver may be looking for a QB

Let's just sign Ernest Wilford again and be done with it.

They still have the #11pick though to take Bryant if they used Seattle's 6 to take a qb. This sucks, the Pats will likely land Boldin to go along side Moss and Welker (DEAR GOD IN HEAVEN PLEASE NO !!!!), and the Broncos will likely take the only stud receiver in the draft (Bryant), and we get NO HELP at the wr position worth mentioning. Our best hope now is drafting a receiver in the 2nd round and hoping he can develop faster than the normal 3 years it takes at that position. The rest of the AFC East is improving at an alarming rate while we seemingly crawl along at a slug's pace. Of course I'm painting a doomsday outlook, but someone tell me where I'm wrong....

Just read that NE pulled out of the Boldin deal and that its between Baltimore and KC.

If Marshall goes I think the logical move would be to take Bryant if available. Then again Denver could package their picks to move up for Claussen or Bradford.

I'm really getting the feeling that Miami will sign Antonio Bryant by the end of the weekend.

The Patriots are reportedly pulling out of the Anquan Boldin trade talks.

We have a feeling the Patriots were only floated as a possibility to extract a higher return out of Baltimore. It's now believed to be a two-horse race between the Ravens and Chiefs.

god i hate this team so much...hell im a red sox fan i hate them more than the yankees & jets combined!

For real, why did we ever let him go?

me to hatecrew.

IF Denver draws Seattle's 6 pick for Marshall, that means they can take Clausen or Bradford AND take Dez Bryant before us. Outside of Bryant, Boldin and Marshall, name me anyone who would be a significant upgrade to this team?

...or they can take Rolando McClain AND Dez Bryant.

That's whack.

but denver may not wanna pick that high and pay that contract....so we can just hope i guess

True, that would be two huge rookie contracts they'd have to sign.

Why would they essentially trade Brandon Marshall for a rookie in Dez Bryant??

They trade him because he is unhappy. They also get a 1st round pick for him. That is a big deal to get two 1st round picks. They plug in Dez Bryant at WR and still can get a QB, LB....whatever their heart desires. That is a great move for Denver. They also seem to know how to evaluate top WR talent....unlike Miami. They hit big with both Eddie Royal and Brandon Marshall.

Man.. What does NE need with another aging WR? Moss, Boldin and Welker.... NO THANK you! Hopefully they stay pulled out of the race. Even if for 1 year.. That would suck to play that WR core twice.

Boldin is gonna be a raven any time now....Come on KC up the offer
