crazy, I just wish he would shut his mouf and do his job...I could understan if the Cards still sucked last year, but the team is on the upswing and he wants to jump ship now? Damn Fitz already offered to take a pay cut so Boldin could get some extra dollers what else does he need?

The Baltimore Sun, citing a league source, also reports that the Ravens have expressed interest in Boldin. The Sun asked Ravens GM Ozzie Newsome if the team had contacted the Cardinals about Boldin. His response: “With the draft coming up, I’ve had a chance to talk to eight different teams over the past 48 hours.”

Yes please. :marshmellow:

the cards still refuse to give him a new deal and they are way under the cap.

 

[Houston]

He can come to Houston if he wants

Uhh how about respect and honesty, maybe? Unlike most WR's, Boldin isn't all about the money. And in case you didn't know, that is a good quality to have as a professional athlete.

Collins2Boldin.

I don't know if I want the Titans to trade the draft picks though.

 

[St. Francisco]

Yay, I love threads like these! There is absolutely no discussion on the actual topic, just posts of "Hey, I hope my team trades for him!".

With that said...I hope the Niners trade for him.

 

[Leftwich]

I would have thought the Eagles would have traded for him. But they just traded one of their firsts for Jason Peters...

 

[Vinsane]

Boldin is a talent no doubt, why are the Cards being so shady to him? That team isn't as good without him and they know that, you'd think they'd want to ink a deal too. I mean I understand, yeah dude wants payed, but if he's a talent, and you've got the room pay him.

BS...they're all about the money. By "they" I mean all pro athletes, so I'm not singling out WRs.

That said, maybe he has those other qualities as well. You just can't make me believe that money doesn't have something to with it.

 

[BazookaJoe5]

ESPN saying Ravens are the favorites.

I would die.

 

[Bmore]

NFL NT has been saying Baltimore is about to finalize the deal.

 

[Kia Kaha]

are you serious BMore, i sure hope so
WE dont get NFLN here in NZ so keep me updated

 

[BazookaJoe5]

Like I said. I will cream my pants and go buy his jersey the minute it's announced. I hope it happens.

Oh no doubt. Money ALWAYS has something to do with it, and in most cases is the number 1 factor. Doesn't mean there aren't exceptions to that rule, though.

Boldin obviously wants to get paid but he didn't make a big deal about it last season once the regular season started. He said what he had to say and let his voice be heard on the situation but once the season started he shut up about it and didn't say a single word till the end of the year.

He is underpaid and wants a long-term deal and he deserves it. You can say what you want about the guy but no one can question his heart and toughness. He is not one of those guys that is going to get paid and start slacking off.

Well I hope when we get rid of boldin we get a good return like a 1st and 2nd for him... It may be a little high but shit if your a team in need of a WR, your getting a proven pro bowl WR that is comming into his prime right now. You don't have to develop him, you dont have to wait on him... he right now is a top 7 or so WR...

If we do get a 1st and 2nd, hopefully we get a middle of the round 1st or higher so we can grab a LB from USC or maybe even package our 2 1sts and a 2nd for a top 3 pick maybe and grab curry...

My problem with the situation is that I heard about it most toward the end of the regular season and it seemed it was ALL about the money at the time. When I hear an athlete talk about how their own team doesn't respect them enough, I hear "they're not paying me enough." I've got no problem with him or any other player wanting to get paid & I hope he gets a boat load of money. I just know that regardless of how great a guy he is, how tough he is or anything else, the issue is money.

Boldin never said anything about it during the season, the media and commentators did, but Boldin never brought it up during the season.

Boldin made $2.5 million this past season, wil make $2.75 million this coming season and $3 million in 2010. That's a shit load of money in our eyes, but he is being underpaid for what he does when compared to the other guys at his position that he is better than. When compared to Fitzgerald's 4 year $40 million deal, Boldin is making pennies.

The fact of the matter is that he is not being paid enough. If there are guys out there doing the exact same job as you are but literally making millions of dollars more to do it, you are not going to sit there and be happy. You're going to pack your shit up and go somewhere that pays you that kind of money or you will request a raise.

I think it's funny how so many fans criticize these guys for wanting to get paid more when every single person in America would do the exact same thing that Boldin is doing if they were making pennies while others are making millions to do the exact same job.

I don't paid a dime to play football...

also you can't base how much you should making on the best WR in football, He deserves to get paid but he isn't worth as much as Fitzgerald is... at most 5-6m a yr... which im sure the cardinals have offered... I hate when players think so much more about themselves then the team, now I know... Get paid but shit after that put out how much you claim to be worth.
