Report: Cardinals want a third-round pick for Boldin


We're stacked at the position, but damn! Can he return kicks!?

Yeah but doesn't he want a contract bigger than Jennings? ... and he wants playing time... it's a good deal IMO for a team in need of a starting WR... but with Driver and Jennings as starters... and hopefully Jones or Nelson stepping up... I don't think it's a good deal as the Packers will have to pay him a lot of money or they get a one year WR for a 3rd...

For 30 teams in the league, that's one hell of a deal. But really? Jennings, Driver, Jones, Nelson, Boldin? Wouldn't that be a bit of a luxury on one position.

We're going with Golden Tate, anyway.

But you're right. There's no reason at all to add Boldin to our team, imo. He's a 29 year old player who's looking for his last big pay day. We'd have tons of money invested in the WR position, while we have one of the best groups, already.

And looking at our receiving core as a whole, we also have Finley who'emerging. That gives you another potential 1000 yard receiver. We really don't need him.

If we needed a WR.. this would be of huge consideration.. the guy is a gamer.

But how would he fit in and what would be the fallout in the locker room for not only his contract but his catches as well.

Rock - I would love Tate in Green Bay.. let him tutor under Driver for a year or two and then slide into the regular rotation when Driver exits or his game diminishes.

All Tate did in college was make plays.. they knock him for his size.. his speed before the combine.. this or that.. he played for Notre Dame.. blah blah blah... the kid just made plays.. and that is never a bad thing.

I am shocked that Boldin is 29 already.

I'm not saying I'd be all about this, but trading Driver for a 4-5th and then sending our 3rd to the Cardinals for Boldin? Get a younger player at about the same skill level or better and get an extra 4th-5th to perhaps package to move back up into the 3rd if need be, as well as negating some of the money tied up in our WR rotation. Hmm?

However, I know this deal will never happen. There will be other teams out there such as the Ravens that will be MUCH more willing to give up at least a 3rd for him. It's still interesting to think about though, especially while wasting time at the office!

What about Finley?

If we get Boldin, I say we ship Nelson or Jones for a 1st and a entire starting OL. 🙂

No way Ted Thompson could ever trade DD. Not after what happened a couple summers ago. And what's happening now with Kampman.
That said, can Boldin return punts?

    dfosterf (16-Apr) : that from Jaire
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : My guess is the Packers floated the concept of a reworked contract via his agent and agent got a f'
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Yes, and that is why I think Rob worded it how he did. Rather than say "agent"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Same laws apply. Agent must present such an offer to Jaire. Cannot accept or reject without presenting it
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : I'm thinking that is why Rob worded it how he did.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : The Packers can certainly still make the offer to the agent
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Laws of agency and definition of fiduciary responsibility
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Jaire is open to a reduced contract without Jaire's permission

    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : That someone ... likely the agent.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : So, Jaire has not been offered nor rejected a pay reduction, but someone says he'd decline.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovksy says t was direct communication with someone familiar with Jaire’s line of thinking at that moment.
    Zero2Cool (16-Apr) : Demovsky just replied to me a bit ago. Jaire hasn't said it.
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : Of course, that depends on the definition of "we"
    dfosterf (16-Apr) : We have been told that they haven't because he wouldn't accept it. I submit we don't know that

    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : I am the Angel that gets visited.
    dfosterf (14-Apr) : Visiting Angels has a pretty good reputation
    Zero2Cool (14-Apr) : what
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : WINNING IT, not someone else losing it. The best victory though was re-uniting with his wife
    Martha Careful (14-Apr) : The manner in which he won it was just amazing and wonderful. First blowing the lead then getting back, then blowing it. But ultimately
    Zero2Cool (12-Apr) : I'm guessing since the thumb was broken, he wasn't feeling it.
    dfosterf (10-Apr) : Looking for guidance. Not feeling the thumb.
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : If they knew about it or not
    Mucky Tundra (10-Apr) : I don't recall that he did which is why I asked.
