Wilson: Cardinals not opposed to talking trade for Boldin
Boldin could be back on the trading block Aaron Wilson

INDIANAPOLIS -- Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin remains available for trade, at the right price.
Cardinals general manager Rod Graves reiterated that the team isn't opposed to the possibility of exploring trade scenarios, as they did last year heading into the NFL draft.
Ultimately, the Cardinals' asking price of a first-round draft pick and other selections was too high.
This year, the price may have gone down enough to make a trade a more realistic possibility.
"We're open to looking at all the possibilities for Anquan," Graves said today at the NFL scouting combine. "Right now, he's an Arizona Cardinal and we're delighted about that. We're receptive to taking any calls and we'll do what's best for the team. I don't want to get into specfics, but we'll look at all the possibilities."
Among the teams that could be interested in Boldin: the Baltimore Ravens and the Miami Dolphins.
Graves said he hasn't spoken with Boldin lately.
"I've been in communication with his representatives," Graves said. "He knows our position. We'll see what happens."
Boldin has been less demonstrative than a year ago about his displeasure with his status.
That doesn't mean the Palm Beach native still wouldn't welcome a trade, particularly to the Dolphins.
Is Boldin happier to be a Cardinal than a year ago?
Graves wouldn't go there.
"I don't want to put words in his mouth," Graves said.
Expect Boldin to remain a topic of conversation for receiver-needy teams, and for Graves' cell phone to keep ringing.
