talk about recievers the eagles won't be getting thread

Pretty sure that a 3rd this year and a 2nd next year is more than fair if all they wanted was a 2nd this year and "other considerations."

The thing that makes it unfair is asking them to pay Winston Justice more than $3.50.

Again, it's not fair if you want them to part with a player of Boldin's caliber.  Don't get it twisted, they're still the ones with the upper hand. As unhappy as he may be, they still have Boldin under contract for the next 2 years... they don't have to do anything.  They certainly don't have to trade him to a team that could very well be using Boldin to help kick their asses in the playoffs next year.  They may settle for a 3rd in '09 and 2nd in '10 from a team like the Titans or Ravens because they won't have to deal with him.  They're not gonna settle for that from the Eagles... you have to give them some incentive to jump.  A lesser pick than the one they're asking for off the top ain't gonna do that.

If you're the Eagles and you really want him, you have to do better than "fair" in the eyes of the Cards.  At the very least flip your offer to a 2nd in '09 and a 3rd in '10 and then you might actually be able to pass off a waste like Justice.

[PoopyfaceMcGee]

I'm not saying it should be all they offer, but to say it's an unfair lowball offer is untrue.

[Feva]

I say it was "lowball offer" because it couldn't realistically get them to part with Boldin.  In this situation, you've got to give something to get something and I don't believe the Eagles are really looking to do that here.  It seems to me that they're still throwing out little niblets hoping the Cards will jump at it.  Boldin is there for the taking, and you've got make a hard run for him or don't make a run at all.

But hey, I'm still holding out some sort of irrational hope that it was just an opening offer in a negotiation to eventually land him... so, you never know.

[QB Eagles]

Rosenhaus says he expects Boldin to be traded by the end of the first round.

[Displaced]

Nuffin.  It's wurf nuffin.

[PhillyPhreak54]

So about Rosenhaus' prediction that Boldin would be traded before the end of the first round...good call, Drewcifer.

[MURP]

somethings up if Boldin if nobody offered jack for him.  Possibly that hip condition issue vaguely mentioned before.

[General_Failure]

They mentioned that the Titans left 7 unreturned calls on Saturday about him, which really helps with the "Cardinals are dicking everyone around" theory.

still hope?

Wide receiver Anquan Boldin and defensive tackle Darnell Dockett showed up for the Arizona Cardinals minicamp but begged off of workouts because of "injuries."

Both players are upset with their contract status and coach Ken Whisenhunt told reporters that everyone knows what is really going on with their absence.
