[QUOTE]Okay, if you've been reading the papers or watching ESPN, you know that disgruntled Arizona WR [B]Anquan Boldin[/B] is on the trading block. And you know the Cardinals want a 1st and 3rd round draft picks for him. [Perfectly reasonable, I think.] Naturally, the Redskins have been mentioned as a possible trade partner. When it involves a high profile player who wants a lot of money, the Redskins are [I]always[/I] mentioned.[/QUOTE]

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

The Redskins will not chase any WR's in the near future as long as Vinny is calling the shots...unless you think he is ready to admit that his 2nd rounders from last year are busts.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

nonsense.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

no no no no no no no no no no

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

So that will leave us with no picks in the top rounds? No thanks. I like Boldin, but not for that price.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

My guess is that Zorn will say no because he wants Thomas and Kelly to have more time on the field, not less.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

I love Boldin but I don't see this happening.

I hope that is true...that's why we drafted them. We can't give up this quickly! Wideouts need 3 years before they are truly productive...of course there are always exceptions to that rule, but they hardly touched the field last year...throw em in! Sink or swim boys!

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

We wanted to trade for Chad Johnson so this wouldn't surprise me, but ya I don't think they'll give up on Thomas and Kelly already

Man I'm knocking on wood with that!

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

plays so hard, starting to become injury prone. just say no

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

I'd much rather spend our 1st round pick on Sanchez then trade our 1st and 3rd for Boldin.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

Not happening!

I didn't expect that from you...I thought you were a Campbell fan?
I agree though about Boldin.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

they are looking for a 1 and 3, no thanks.

Well, I like Campbell but this is less about getting Sanchez then it is about spending our 1st and 3rd on Boldin

-I think if there isn't a commitment to Campbell long term than you might as well make the move sooner than later
-I think if we spend our 1st on Sanchez then at least we have the 3rd rounder for a LB/OL, instead of using that 3rd to get Boldin when we already have plenty of WRs. I understand that two have yet to contribute and two are closer to being done. But still, it wouldn't make sense to trade our 3rd rounder (plus our first) for yet another WR

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

What about santana moss and next years 1st for him???

OK, I gotcha. That makes sense. I have a feeling we will be throwing away a pick or two anyway. Sanchez will go higher than 13th, and I have this hunch we will trade up...man I hope not!
About Boldin, unsure which teams are willing to pay that. Unsure as to why Arizona is willing to ship him after he help lead them to a SB. That trio works over there!

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

Nope.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

NO!! I would rather trade up in the Draft and get either Sanchez or Orakpo! Boldin is good but not what we need at this point.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

Not Happening!

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

i'd really rather not.

Yeah that would be moronic

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

If the FO is planning on wasting our first pick on Sanchez then yes i would give it up for Boldin. We are really wasting Santana's prime years cuz he is constantly doubled deep. But again yeah i wouldn't give away a 1st and 3rd as long as they are used for OT, DE, or LB.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

Can he play OL? It won't matter if our QB is running for his life.

There is more intelligence in this one simple sentence then some of the page long posts I've seen.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

I like Boldin but lets address the O-line for crying out loud. I dont like JC in the least, but trading up for Sanchez is also a mistake.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

We need oline help....if he were a FA, I'd say go nuts cause the guy is fantastic...

Ironically...the bad moves to lose our draft picks is protecting us from making another high priced trade mistake....if we had a full arsenal of picks...I bet some of you would say a first and a 5th would be fine...I might too...but not in this circumstance.

in any case...there is no way this is happening.

[quote=SmootSmack;546515]I'd much rather spend our 1st round pick on Sanchez then trade our 1st and 3rd for Boldin.[/quote]

Really?
I'd rather get a stud WR for two picks than draft a player with our first rounder that very well won't contribute this year and isn't a need.
I'd rather us address OL or DE with our first pick but Boldin is an undeniable talent. Too bad this will never happen. We have no cap room to make this happen.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?

The cap hit for trading moss would be big.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

Portis is already campaigning for boldin to come play here

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

where at the pro bowl?

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

would you give up Thomas and Kelly for Boldin?

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

I would not give up a 1st round pick this year or next year for Boldin. I would consider giving them Randle El , Thomas, or Kelly and a 3rd pick next year. So in other words no lets keep our picks and draft 1 of the best tackles or Rey Maualuga.

Why not? It looks like they have given up on Campbell with the Jay Cutler rumors. Now they are "in love" with Sanchez.....the underachivement will continue!

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

I don't think Boldin goes anywhere. If this was the last year of his contract, then it is a strong possibility.

But he has 2 years remaining. And for a team to pry him away from the Cards, they would have to make an enormous offer.

The Cards say a 1st and a 3rd rounder. But that is where the bidding STARTS. It will take more than that to actually get the Cardinals to agree.

Then after 2 or more draft picks and maybe a player or two are dealt, the team that acquires him still has to sign Boldin to a contract. And he is looking for a big payday.

I think the price would be too steep for anyone.

Does Randel El even count? It would have to Thomas AND Kelly, plus the 3rd pick next year - but I dont think we can fit his salary under the cap. but it would be interesting..... Moss on one side and Boldin on another...hmmm. Portis would def find some running lanes.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

[quote=Dr Do Itch Big;546530]What about santana moss and next years 1st for him???[/quote]
I think for the deal to make sense, we need to be able to keep Moss. That gives us a new #1 WR which allows us to use Moss for punt returns and to play in the slot. This would give us a legit chance to score more points per game even with our o-line as it was last year.

Then again... so would 1 more second of pass protection...

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

Anquan Bolden and Santana Moss are essentially the same type of reciever. Short pass= long run. The only real difference is the body type and the playmaking ability in the redzone. We would still need somebody to stretch the field and win "Jump Balls" much like Fitzgerald did for the Cards last season. I like Moss deep on occaision, but that is not his strength, though he can wheel a man up...quick.

Essentially what I am saying is that whether we have Moss, Bolden, or both we would still have a need for another reciever that is more of a typical deep threat/ jump ball kind of guy.

With that being said, I do not think that it would be a wise decision to proposition any type of trade for Anquan Bolden whether it be Moss and a first rounder, or a first and a third, or whatever. I like Boldin alot, but we would not be adding much more with him offensively and we have other needs that need to be addressed more than the recieving corps.

Re: Boldin a Redskin?
 

No thanks. Let's let the younger guys develop and maybe one or both will turn into the next Boldin.
