I'm a big fan of Boldin. I wish the Skins could land him.

The skins will land him, although he will be 36 when they do.

i think the skins should try to trade antwan randle-el and ladell betts to az for boldin. the trade would help both teams randle-el and wizenhunt work well together and betts could definitly help their run game b/c james probably won't be back next year. and the skins could defintly use another real starting wr and this trade we won't loose any draft picks but i don't know about the salary and salary cap effects.

Let's just put the salary issue aside for a minute. Let's suppose you're Rod Graves, GM of the Cardinals, and I were to propose to you Randle El and Ladell Betts for Boldin.

Would you really accept that?

Yes, if you threw in your first round picks for the next two years.

well that kinda changes everything but it would still be worth it because it makes a big difference for the whole team

It would change everything only if we have decent O-line.. But we don't, so it would be waste of picks..

True, I think we would be better of with going after TJ Houshmenzadeh and keeping our draft picks. Naturally after the trip to the superbowl, Boldin could use either result as a reason to stay. If they lose, he can say he wants to stay because they got so close and could win the next year. If they win...who would want to leave the champions. Our line is aging and needs repair. Any trade we make for any team should consist of giving up betts and Randle El.

it would be interesting to see him and moss together, I think he would make moss look better because moss won't be staring down double coverage every play

Great receivers are supposed to beat double coverage (ie: Larry Fitzgerald, Steve Smith, Calvin Johnson, Reggie Wayne, etc.) cause teams always double the best receivers. This is a poor excuse for Moss. I like his playmaking ability, but, he is a #2 receiver in this league. We need Thomas or Kelly to step up and be the go to guy this season.

But spending mone on Boldin, or Housh for that matter, without shoring up the trenches would be stupid! The Pats won 3 superbowls with marginal receivers cause they had a great defense and a competent QB. The Ravens won with Dilfer and Q Ishmail as their guy cause they had great defense and strong o-line. Get the point?

I dissagree that Moss is a #2 reciever. At the same time I realize he is no Fitzgerald. I have seen Moss burn the coverage with no delivery. I think as our O comes to life so will/would Moss if he is here whenand if that happens.

get real

Eknox:

Either your suggestion of Randle-El for Boldin is a joke or you must have been the guy who took a hit just before Michael Phelps stepped up to the bong.

Boldin is a top-shelf wide receiver.

Randle-El is paid as if he were a top-shelf wide receiver.

The similarity ends there...
