Rumor: ESPN's Sal Palantonio... More from Boldin *Merge*

i hope the cards hang onto him. Don't want him anywhere near philly.
 
While I don't want Philly to get him, I'm also not for selling the house to get him. He wants $10Mish a year, thats a lot of money and we still have several players I hope we can keep. Canty, Ware, Tank, Columbo, etc. While it would be great to have him, but do we really want to risk losing more than we already will. I mean, Columbo is probably gone because we won't be able to afford him. Canty could easily walk also. Considering Ware is going to break the bank, I'm not sure Tank will be around either if he has a monster season.

is reporting the Eagles are pushing hard to make a deal with the Cardinals for Boldin. They are also saying the deal wouldnt include Lito. I really hope Jerry doesnt let this happen he needs get on the phone and become a player in the negotiations.

Appearantly Kevin Curtis suffered a sports hernia and they are pushing pretty hard.

You hope Jerry doesnt let this happen?

It may just be that he is going to Philly and thats it.
 
If they're not offering Lito we should be able to get in on this deal.

You are probably right but it would suck if they added another weapon to go with Westbrook.
 
Yea Boldin goin to philly could be bad. But i feel that we have DBs that can cover him or at least slow him down.
 
Would Philthy would be willing to give him a new contract like he wants if he was traded there? He has three years left on his current contract and he wants Fitzgerald type money. Now, he may be worth it, but will Philthy redo a contract with 3 years left on it for that kind of money? If not, then he is still a very unhappy player.
 
Even if they get Boldin we still have Terrence Newman who is going to lock him up like he always has.

Its going to take more than 1 guy. It will improve them drastically but Dallas is still heads and shoulder better than them.

Lets hope they trade Lito too because I think this team needs to build around their defense and getting rid of Lito and getting Boldin might actually be a bad thing for them imo.
 
Anquan Boldin reiterated that he doesn't believe his standoff with Cardinals management can be resolved.

"If I'm not going to be treated fairly, if my hard work and loyalty isn't going to be rewarded here, then let me go somewhere where it's going to be rewarded," Boldin said. He isn't threatening to bail on the Cardinals.

If they sign Boldin and give him big money... it is for the following reasons:

  • Because of TO
  • Because Dallas wants him
Philly never went for a big name WR and then they went for Owens.
Philly said after the Owens ordeal that they wouldnt do it again.
NOW they are in the running.

They still have that bad taste in their mouth from Owens and what makes it worse is that Owens is working out in Dallas.

They feel the need to try and atleast keep up with us. Because they wont one up us with Bolden.
 
Philly did offer Moss 6 million more this offseason then NE did.

Aw, the "we've always shut him down" theory. I remember when the Commanders fans applied to Terrell Owens. Of course they lost every game they held him in check, but they bottled him up and they were proud.
 
Jerry needs to get involved with this either to come away with Boldin or drive the price sky high for the Eagles.

I agree that would be the reason if they do it. I just don't know if they would pay him or not. They may think they could trade for him and make him play another year or two or three under his current contract.

They are known for being notoriously cheap with their players. Although this year they have opened their wallets a little bit. I don't know what to expect from them.
 
Maybe throw Curtis into the mix. Keep Hannah as the 3rd TE. I know they drafted Pope, but who knows.

Curtis, Spears, Scandrick, Hurd. Pick 2 of them, a first rounder, and then another pick based on performance. Thats my final offer

Once again, it sounds like the Eagles are trying to get something for nothing.

Unless they're offering both of next year's #1 picks, this deal - like all the others they've attempted lately - won't happen.

'The smartest guys in the room'......
 
If Boldin is for sale, I think he's an Eagle. The Eagles were offering Randy Moss more money than the Patriots were. Along with Lito Sheppard, they also have two #1 picks next year.

Yeah but its not just Boldin its who ever Newman lines up across from.

IMO Newman is one of the most consistent players in all of Professional sports.

Boldin is a great player. I'd love to have him. I even wanted him out of FSU. Even after he ran a really really slow 40 time.

Im just not worried if Philly gets him.
