Would you Make This Trade?

O.K., first off this is totally hypothetical. Would you trade T.O., Bobby Carpenter, and Tashard Choice for Anquan Boldin? T.O.,while still very talented, is near the end of his career and we all know about the issues surrounding him. Bobby Carpenter, a former first round draft choice, has really done nothing since he's been on the team. He would probably be better in a 4-3. The one I'd hate to give up is Choice. However, as long as Barber and Felix Jones remain healthy, Choice won't get a lot of playing time. With Boldin, Roy Williams, Witten, Austin, etc., we would have an extremely deep, talented, and young receiving corp. Now, would the Cardinals go for this trade? Boldin is not happy there and they're going to lose him eventually. Why not get something for him? They really need a young running back and like I said earlier, Carpenter would probably play better in a 4-3. T.O. would help out Fitzgerald for a couple of years. What do you think?

Wow.....no....too lazy to get the madden emoticon so I'll just say it...

THIS AIN'T MADDEN!

Boldin has been in the league 6 years now, has missed a whole year due to injury already (16 games). Great receiver when healthy, but can't stay healthy.
And according to some on here, all of our injuries are the conditioning coaches fault so Boldin would probably be injured if he was a Cowboy anyway.

i would not trade choice for anything...

that kid has got serious talent and a pure heart.

i would rather have him as the starter than mb3.

and i love mb3.....but he is not an every down back.

mb3 does not see the hole fast enough and lacks the speed.

Read the post dip****s. I'm just bored and thinking about next season. Pipedream? The Cardinals and Boldin are going to split at some point. It could be this offseason. I think it would be a good deal for us. He could easily replace T.O. and he's much younger. We get nothing from Carpenter. As I said, I would hate to give up Choice, but it's going to be awfully hard to keep three good RBs in the coming years.

Yes...Pipe Dream...because it ain't gonna happen. I won't argue your reasoning...I would love to see it. But I would love to win the lottery and that ain't gonna happen either...Pipe Dream.

Wow, classy...

Choice is under contract for another 3 years. We dont have to worry about ANY of our RBs going anywhere, anytime soon.

Cardinals won't have a problem trading Boldin...period.

Hell yes you make this deal and then laugh under your breath.



TO, a bust and a 3rd stringer for a 20 something pro bowl WR?

No way.

Bobby will be here one more year. And Choice will get more playing time.

You can trade or cut TO....I'd put Austin across from RW to stretch the field.

Boldin is another head case....I would prefer to get rid of the head cases we currently have on the team, not add more of them.

I would defenitely make that trade...

...BUT, only if I'm part of the deal and guaranteed about 5 millon dollars of Jerry's money! :D

People here have a hissy fit whenevere T.O. speaks out.

During the playoffs, Boldin was screaming at his teammates and coaches for not giving him the ball enough and exited his team's celebration when they stomped, was it the Giants?

And we'd git rid of T.O. and get a Boldin?

Seems sort of like letting that TE Fasano feller go and then burning a draft pick for a T.E. (Martellus).
One step forward, one step backward. This is Jerra's world, alright.

No and not because the trade isn't plausible. I think Choice has the ability to be a much better starter than Barber. I would hate for him to got to Arizona and tear it up. Boldin is a good reciever, but why would Dallas need him if Williams is the long term answer? It is the same reason the Cardinals will not pay him: Fitszgerald is their number 1 and their is only so many balls to go around.
