Boldin has alot of talent and I think he'd be a good fit for the team if Moose leaves. That is if he and Smith dont get unhappy about sharing catches. Also Arizona is a passing team where as Carolina is a running team, so he wouldnt get as many passes thrown his way like he does in Arizona. Apparently Jarrett isnt going to step up like we thought, even though I havent seen were he's been given a whole lot of opportunites.

my thoughts from a thread someone started yesterday about this:

http://www.carolinahuddle.com/forum/carolina-panthers/27111-potential-trade-for-boldin.html

not putting much stock in it but that would be sweet.

he had mccown throwing to him in AZ a few years back.

at this point anything that makes the team better, i'm all for. getting him here would do that. if it cost peppers, i'd be totally ok.

a couple things to consider...peppers has his offseason workouts in arizona and has been going there for years. it's obvious that he likes the area. the cards aren't a bad team so it's not like we'd be trading him to the lions or anything. they've been to the superbowl more recently than us and because of the division are going to be putting themselves in a position to get there every year. he gets to play half his games inside....sounds like an attractive situation.

also, chike okeafor, bert berry, and karlos dansby all have contracts that are up after this season. okeafor and berry are both older than pep and play OLB in their 3-4 (more of a hybrid 3-4/4-3) so it wouldn't be as huge an adjustment as it would going to a pure one like in new england. the cards are going to need someone to come in there. plus both okeafor and berry play on the right side....that's where he wants to be anyway.

still a lot of speculating but i could see this having some legs.

as far as boldin is concerned...he wants to be there even less than peppers wants to be here. they don't seem at all interested in keeping him there. he has one year left on his contract and they have needs all over the place. boldin is a luxury there. bringing someone in to take over at ROLB is a necessity.

seems like it would be an easy trade. throw a couple meaningless picks in there and call it a deal.

      Panthers get the day off for Victory Monday

      So how about the Mondays after we lose? Because those Mondays after the Jags, Pats, and Bills games better have been run suicides until your legs fall off...

      Trade deadline

      Saints trade WR Shaheed to Seahawks Seahawks get: WR Rashid Shaheed Saints get: 2026 fourth-round pick, 2026 fifth-round pick Seahawks' grade: A- Saints' grade: B+ One of the NFL's hottest passing teams just got better. The Seahawks currently rank third in EPA per dropback (0.25) and first in success rate on dropbacks (53%). And now they are adding Shaheed in a move that makes sense both on the field and in terms of where the Seahawks are as a franchise. Shaheed, 27, is averaging 1.8 yards per route run this season. But I think that sells him short because that number is down a bit from his career average entering this year (2.0) and he's been playing a role that includes running fewer vertical routes (34%) compared to last year (44%). Shaheed also has consistently posted above-average open scores in ESPN's receiver score metrics, including a 63 this season that ranks 28th among wide receivers. As a complement to Jaxon Smith-Njigba, I expect Shaheed will run downfield more often and be a bigger threat in that role than rookie Tory Horton was. When Cooper Kupp returns, he and Shaheed will make for a nice pair of secondary threats behind one of the best receivers in the league in Smith-Njigba. This is the time to strike for the Seahawks. FPI gives Seattle an 84% chance to make the playoffs and a 5% shot at winning the Super Bowl. This addition helps boost their chances without mortgaging their future the way the Colts did in the Sauce Gardner trade. Shaheed is a pending free agent but given the leverage of the moment for the Seahawks and their need I think they ought to be plenty willing to pay the cost. Shaheed is young enough to where if Seattle doesn't retain him he should sign a free agent contract that would yield Seattle a compensatory pick -- if the Seahawks don't nullify that pick with signings of their own. Because the Seahawks currently have $79 million in cap space next year, per OverTheCap, getting that compensatory pick is not guaranteed. The Saints are not rolling in cap space the way the Seahawks are -- and thus would land a compensatory pick for Shaheed -- but they got more draft capital this way than they otherwise would have. Considering New Orleans' 1-8 record, this should have been an easy decision.
