Profootballtalk.com speculates that the new Larry Fitzgerald deal could prompt problems with fellow WR Anquan Boldin. Many think Boldin is the better WR and he is set to earn a fraction of what Fitzgerald will be getting.
PFT says that the possible suitors would be the Eagles, Cowboys and Redskins. The Eagles could offer CB Lito Sheppard, as was rumored in the Fitzgerald discussions. OTR doesn’t know about Dallas, but the Redskins have proven that they will mortgage their future in order to get the guy they want. It has also been rumored from Jason La Canfora (who does a great job) that Redskins sources have made the acquisition of a #1 WR their top priority this offseason.
Stay tuned on this one. It’s pure speculation at this point, but things could heat up on Draft Day. If it comes down to the Eagles and Redskins, I have to think that the ‘Skins will win. They’ll give up the farm for a player they want.
Why would the Cardinals want to trade a “bargain” like Boldin if he is making a fraction of Fitzgerald? Unless he is going to hold out, why would they care if he is unhappy? They obviously didn’t want to trade Fitz, but were in a tough situation because of his contract and forced to look at options.
Micah, thoughts?
I’m not reporting that it will happen or even a possibility. I am simply spreading rumors.
If Boldin gets pissy, then this could be a possibility. No word on whether or not he will get pissy.
Just looking for input as to why it could be a consideration.
Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic says don’t bank on it. Still, let’s spread some rumors.
exactly if we spread rumours thats how things get started up. thats what happen with randy moss. lets get this started with boldin. the road to the super bowl will be in view if we can get a number receiver such as boldin, chad johnson, or holt.

Haven’t you spread enough rumors already, you stooge? Your limited credibility is dwindling fast.
I believe that is PFT’s rumor about Adam Schefter’s rumor. But thanks for posting on our blog, we appreciate you taking the time out of your day.
