IF....the Cardinals let him get away. Would you go after him? Personally I would love to see him in Viking Purple.

If he was traded (he wouldn't be released) he'd command at least 9 million a year, which would be a bit steep considering we're paying Berrian 7 mil a year.

And it would take probably at least what the cowboys gave up to get Roy Williams.
Correct me if i'm wrong but i think that was a 1st, 3rd, and 5th.
Going two years straight without taking a first rounder would be a pretty questionable strategy unless you get a franchise qb

Boldin is part of my dream team, I believe we could work out some type of a deal or sign him, that is if the team wants him.
We always seem to be in great cap shape, but always short those few key players to get the job done.
I say lets toy with being cap tight, and bring in those few key players we always seem to need, and go for the gold......

It's time to shake things up, and make a big splash, what the hell I say.

Boldin would be nice if he could control his emotions on the sidelines. He's a big guy, physical, can break tackles, good speed, good hands, good YAC. He's exactly what our offense would need to complement Sidney Rice and Bernard Berrian.

I'm not convinced he's going anywhere anytime soon, but if he was up for grabs in a trade I would certainly look into it. He's also a great RunBlocker also, he would fit in nicley.

I'm not convinced we're willing to put big money into the WR position let alone trading away draft picks, I could be wrong but I wouldn't doubt it if we continue to the see the evolution of our current guys, especailly the young ones in Rice and Allison.

No he wants Fitz money...No way.

I think we should trade Berrian and a fourth rounder for Anquan or Rice and a 2nd rounder... it's a win win.. in the first trade, I think what we're giving BB would net out anyway annually... the 2nd trade would be a bit trickier...
