NFL Live report- Smith lobbies Boldin to Car.

It is no secret that Boldin wants out of Ari- they paid oodles of money to Fitzgerald and have yet to pony up to Boldin- he is pissed and wants out-

Anyway on NFL live- Fitzgerald was reported as stating that Steve Smith has called and lobbied Boldin to come to Carolina!

I fo one would love to see this happen- he is a young dynamic TOUGH (unlike hackett aka groundhog) WR- he played with like 40 screws holding his skull together! Hackett wont even play with a hangnail!

if only we could pay him......

Pep - Arizone for Boldin ? Doubtful, but hey we can dream :lol:

Smitty holding it down out there for sure.

I still wouldn't take that deal without more from their end. If it's true that they want to switch to a 3-4 though, it at least becomes an intriguing idea.

Boldin has essentially said his bridges are burned in Arizona, same as Peppers here.

I'm a little turn on this one. I would love to have Boldin on this team but even if the Cards would give up a pick to go along with Boldin it wouldn't be a 1st rounder.

There is also the fact that Pep would be going to a team that we play this season.

If Wisenhunt brings in a Pittsburgh guy to run a 3-4 in Arizona I doubt they would be that interested in Peppers seeing how most of their LBers are not big name players before they got to the Steelers.

Yeah, in the 2006 Pro Bowl, Steve lobbied Shaun Alexander to not re-sign with Seattle but rather sign with us (he was the league MVP that year and got a nice fat contract extension instead). Thus we drafted Deangelo and Shaun busted big time.

But why not, lets add another WR to our already six deep roster while hoping to find a DE and DT in a weak free agent class and draft in those positions with no first round pick

Oh, and since Lucas is probably going to be cut and Hangman will probably be lost, who cares about a quality #3 CB to push Marshall and finding a quality backup OG/C to groom to replace Vincent who may be gone after next season (or sooner with his injury history).

Yep, aWR with a bad attitude and potential to be a locker room cancer sounds great!

Note to people. Only so many offensive weapons can be on the field at a time and none of them can play D.

Losing the entire defensive coaching staff will not make our 18th ranked D become top 10 again with no Peppers unless upgrades happen.

Remind me though. Isn't Boldin a free agent? Pretty sure he is.

If so, trade scenarios don't apply unless he receives a franchise or transition tag.

No, he's not, but he's been asking for a trade. He's more unhappy than Peppers and his relationship more splintered with the Cardinals than Peppers with the Panthers. If we ever did consider a trade like that, his unhappiness there could give us leverage in a trade.

Why do we need a WR again. Or has everyone forgot we are a run first team?

The run attack still needs a balanced passing threat to be effective.

Boldin is a big WR that can block, plus his presence would mean that teams could neither concentrate solely on stopping the run nor concentrate primarily on Steve Smith in the pass game. It would also allow Muhsin Muhammad to move to the #3 "Ricky Proehl" position in the offense and would lessen the need for an upgrade at tight end.

I don't see it happening, mind you, but there are most certainly benefits when you consider the matchups.

I can agree with you that WR isn't necessarily a need as much as Dline is, but it's unfair to assume Boldin's a locker room cancer just because he's unhappy with the Cardinals. His beef is more with the organization, not the team. Sort of like Lance Briggs' situation with Chicago.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
