Report: Eagles showing interest in Boldin
Sheil Kapadia, Philly.com
It did not take long for the Anquan Boldin rumors to begin.
According to ESPN's Sal Paolantonio (via profootballtalk.com), the Eagles are one of four teams that have shown interest in acquiring Boldin's services.
The other three are the Giants, Jets and Ravens.
I'm assuming the report was on TV because I do not see an article by Paolantonio on ESPN.com's Web site.
So what will it take to acquire Boldin?
Paolantonio is reporting that the Cardinals are telling teams they want a first- and a third-round pick.
Several NFL sources told Ralph Vacchiano of the New York Daily News that they expected the Giants to at least explore the option of adding Boldin.
That's it for now. But I have a feeling we'll be back shortly.
It must just be too unpopular to say that Jackson, Curtis and Avant are good enough. Draft Wells and another OL (or trade for Peters). When your QB is throwing for 4500+ yds, the receivers are good enough.— djack10
Comment removed.- Those of you who think Boldin would be a tremendous risk just ask yourself who on the Eagles team today demand double coverage? Say what you want but Boldin would add a new interest in how the Eagles can stretch their offense and make their other receivers better. Did you know, McNabb is the only QB in the league with a white go-to or #1 receiver? Very Interesting!— thetruth1960
- @ 5isaKing: "Not afraid of Eli", I'm not sure if you heard but Eli/Plax have a ring! DMac(whom I love to death) and his assortment of WR's have no rings. Yes it's a gamble bringing in Boldin, because they would have to redo his contract, and most likely McNabb's...but the draft is a gamble too, maybe even a bigger one! At least if the Eagles brass brings in Boldin, it will silence all the idiot fans of WIP for, at least, one season! You fail to see the trickle down affect having Boldin in the line up provides: immediate elevation of all the other WR's. Westbrook(an his knee) don't see as many 8-man fronts. The pass rush slows down a bit, as they have to respect 3 maybe even FOUR WR sets. Reid & McNabb have gotten a lot more right than they have wrong...before they came along the Eagles were a joke! And that goes all the way back to early 80's. They may not have captured a Lombardi trophy, but they at least put the Eagles in the Elite year after year.— rickah88

- Are we the only team in the league whose best running back is also our best receiver? And all of you are ok with that? Have you really evaluated your choices or decision of players to pick in the draft, who you think should start, and who to trade or release. And you wonder why you are just a fan and not a owner, general manager, coach or quarterback? Do what you do best and remain a spectator trying to learn the game.— thetruth1960

Boldin's dream team is Miami - not that that will happen. Ocho is dying to come here. I'd rather have Ocho and a top tackle.— Richard Saunders- Comment removed.
- Why not Boldin and Ocho??? With Jackson?? Sound good? O-line is a concern still, but I'll still try and make a move in Free agency for the tackle. I would love for them to go for Pettigrew if still available with their other 1st round pick. If not then pick the best available running back. Done. Go get em' "nickles"! Put up the money and the draft picks on the table!! Dont let the Giants get him, we ill pay for years if you do! 5isaKing must be smokin crack! How could he not see that Boldin would help this sorry sack of a receiving crew... less Jackson??— #1WRneeded
- If the Eagles cough up a 1st and a 3rd for Boldin their stupid. Since their not stupid.— MJPD345
