NEW ORLEANS -- I promised you I'd try to catch up with Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin after this playoff game between the Saints and Cardinals.

I keep my promises.

And the news for Dolphins fans hoping to see Boldin in a Dolphins uniform next season is not great.

Boldin, you see, told me as he walked out of the Arizona locker room that he will not request a trade this offseason.

"No," Boldin told me following Arizona's 45-14 loss to New Orleans said. "I'm going to let it play out."

Boldin is under contract to Arizona for the 2010 season at a scheduled pay of $3 million. It is the final year of his deal. And considering he's a 1,000-yard caliber receiver, he believes he has been underpaid for some time and wants the deal redone.

Because of that, Boldin has, through his agents, asked for a new contract and even requested to be traded in the past when a new contract didn't come.

That approach is apparently changing for Boldin.

I just wish these guys werent head cases. Friends of mine in Arizona siad they are questioning his injuries , saying they thought he could have played in at least this last playoff game & maybe even the first. The word soft is coming up with his name.
Still , we need receivers & he is looking at Leinart maybe instead of a slinger like Warner. But with no Fitzgerald on the other side we might see the real Boldin.
Worth the risk ... I guess ... maybe not our answer but certainly an improvement.

A 3rd and 5th for a 30 yr old reciever who has a history of injuries? Are you guys sure? He's only played 2 full seasons out of 7. I would have to say no. I am also not ready to give up on Ginn yet either.

Boldin and soft should not be in the same sentence together.

Mort just reported on ESPN that the Cards are going to be actively seeking to trade Boldin, even if that means for a 3rd and 5th round draft pick. Named the Phins on his list of teams that would be interested.

So, if that's the case, a 3rd and a 5th for Boldin, would you guys want to pick him up?

Patrick Turner was a 3rd rounder, how is that looking for us????

I'd do that deal in a NY minute!

No he wasn't. Regardless, Anquan hasn't played a full season since 06, and even then that was only his second full season in his 7 years as a pro.
Other than his rookie year, Boldin has always had the likes of Fitz playing next to him. I'm not sold.

Actually he was a 3rd rounder.

And yeah....his rookie season he posted 1300 receiving yards.

I really think Fitzgerald has benifited just as much from Quan an he has from Fitz.

Bring the man in!
