2009 Free Agents

[Ruhskins]

I would put my typical "I am not suggesting for x-player to come to the Redskins", but that tends to be a futile attempt. But anyway, I just saw this on ESPN and thought to myself, what a pity that these talented receivers (Boldin, Burress, and CJ) have such character issues. I wonder if any of these receivers will get traded.

While Burress & CJ's character issues are well documented, I don't believe Boldin has any character problems (unless I'm missing something). The only issue Boldin has is wanting to get a new contract. I know teammates will protect each other in the media, but Larry Fitzgerald's statements of reworking his contract and his statements on the sideline at the Pro Bowl seem to be a true endorsement of Boldin.

P.S. While he's a very good WR, I don't see him coming here, nor am I suggesting the Skins pursue him.

I guess some teams would see Boldin's demand for a contract as a character issue, but you are correct Burress and CJ are the ones with the character issues. I must say though that I think with Fitz's plea and willingness to restructure his contract, Boldin is going to come out as the bad guy if he doesn't stay with AZ. Well I'm sure the media will portray him that way.
