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.
eagles need a QB who can hit the receivers, not another wide receiver to watch 50% the passes coming their way be on the ground, 10 feet above them, or 3 ft behind their running pattern.— jwatson- http://bleacherreport.com/articles/157029-anquan-boldin-to-the-eagles-rumors-have-new-life Get him so the Giants don't.
Comment removed.- IF THE PICKS ARE THE BIG PART OF THE DEAL THE EALGES ARE IN GOOD SHAPE. THEY HAVE 2 FIRST ROUNDERS.— AEPi71

- 1st, 3rd, and 4th DO IT NOW!— jaydes
- NO TEAM EVER GIVES UP A 1ST ROUNDER FOR A RECIEVER WHO IS NEAR THE END OF HIS "PRIME". AND ITS NOT LIKE HE'S A HALL OF FAMER TYPE WIDE RECIEVER. TYPICALLY TEAMS HAVE OFFERED 2ND ROUND PICKS FOR STARTING CALIBER QB'S. AND THE CARDINALS WANT TO SUCKER SOMEONE INTO A 1ST ROUNDER— NeilHarry1
- The Eagles should stand pat and lose a 5th NFC Championship.— JPM73
- Yep, at least the ninth time. Perspective: The Cards drafted Fitzgerald with an in his prime Boldin on the roster, nuff said. Let the Jets have him.— MidGreen
- Giants replacing Plax with Boldin wouldn't help them. What made Plax so dangerous was that he bailed out Eli many times. Eli could just throw the ball up and know Plax would come down with it... Boldin is NOT that type of receiver. Most of his work is done in 10 yards where he makes plays after the catch.— coatesvillain

- as a 50 year fan i realy enjoy your rants.i left philadelohia 45 years ago. since i have been vice president of del web and ran 7 hotels. managed tony bennett.blod sweat ad tears.and i love your opinins. i will return with my own opinions. love the eagles.— leonard
- the eagles put up more points last year than the(one good)year they had T.O. it's true, i swear! As i recall, the eagles had the lead in the championship game, til the defense blew it. boldin would be a great fit for the birds, b/c defenses can't play bump coverage on him,like they can smaller jackson & curtis.eagles would be better served drafting TE(pettigrew), and DE in the 1st rd. DE is a serious need that's being overlooked by too many people. Defense should be more of a need in the draft than people think.— 82tank
- Boldin can't play in the cold??? Fitz had a lot to do with Boldin's success?? Quit eating the paint chips 5isaking! If you want don't want the birds to pursue Boldin, that's fine, but quit making up things about Boldin. Boldin had close to 1,400 yards and 8 tds in his rookie year BEFORE Fitzgerald was in Arizona!! Saying a player can't play in the cold??? That is the dumbest thing i've ever hear. The Eagles won't get Boldin because they won't trade the draft picks, but this guy is a stud and they should get him!— reggiedunlop
- This is a Pro Bowler...Tuff over the middle, and hard to bring down...Stop whinning about whether he can't play in the cold....This guy can free up other receivers like he did for Fitzgerld. Give up a 1st & 5th, and get a running back in the First Round.— jazzyg50
