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.

      I don't think it's any weird or unique clause, it's the offset language, same thing so many contract disputes are over. It just means that including it, if a player is cut and then signed by another team, the original team would be able to subtract how much they're getting paid by the new team from what they still owe him on their guaranteed money. For example, it's why Russell Wilson signed for the minimum last year with the Steelers as that was included in his Denver contract.  So if he signed with the Steelers for $1 million, he'd get $1 million less from the Broncos, if it was $2 million, he'd get $2 million less, basically he couldn't make any more money than he was already going to make, so you sign for the minimum to not take unnecessary cap room from your new team while giving extra cap room to your old one. The problem with trying to include it in rookie deals is that a team trying to include it, it says they think they don't really believe the player will make it 4 years with the team before they cut them.  And this usually comes up with one or two rookies in most seasons, the difference is it's usually handled much more quietly and not as public and ugly as this one. The other difference is that it's happening with the Bengals, which I believe I saw are one of the few (or only?) team that doesn't have protections for rookies in rookie and mini camps to be able to participate even if they haven't signed their contract yet.  The other teams have injury protections that allow them to still play, but the Bengals do not, which is also why this one is so public and ugly, as most the time this happens, the rookie is still participating in the rookie and subsequent mini camps, giving them more time to get the contract done before training camp when they'd then hold out.
