UPDATE: Mike Misineli reported today on ESPN radio that Sal Palantonio informed him the Eagles have offered the Cardinals a second round pick in next year’’s draft and a third round pick in this year’’s draft along with Winston Justice for Anquan Boldin. This begs the question on why the Eagles would even play games with offering a second round pick next year. Why not just flip flop the offer? Perhaps if the Eagles are the only team in bidding right now they don”t want to outbid themselves and are playing it cautious. And the fact that they have offered Justice is just comical. That is akin to me offering the Cardinals a 1982 Chevy Nova.
Updates will be posted as we hear them.
UPDATE: Accoring to Howard Eskin minutes ago on WIP the Eagles are the only team that has made a formal offer to the Cardinals for Boldin. He does not have details on what the offer is at this point.
The Arizona Cardinals have reportedly lowered their asking price for Anquan Boldin from a first and a third round pick to a second round pick and future considerations. The Philadelphia Eagles are rumored to be among the teams that have expressed interest in the wide receiver.
With Andy Reid’s propensity for holding on to draft picks, it was clear that the Eagles would not be willing to part with a first and a third round pick for Boldin. But now that the demands have softened, will they change their stance and get a deal done? The Eagles still have the ammunition needed to make a deal for Boldin and have plenty of cash in the vault to pay him once he arrives in Philly.
The Eagles brass was unwilling to part with a second round pick for Tony Gonzalez. Will they take the same stance on Boldin?
I am not holding my breath that’’s for damn sure. Here’’s the thing. I am not sure the Birds wouldn”t give up a 2nd for Gonzxalez because I really don”t think they were ever really considering making a move for him. I just think a lot of times they do their due dilligence and inquire and word gets out that they are looking to make a trade. Think about the deals that do get done with the Eagles. Usually they come out of nowhere and aren;t ones where everyone knows they are looking at a player. We may no there is a little interest but not much else. The Eagles inquire to get a feel is what I think. Kind of like going to a restaurant and hearing the specials. You then decide what you want to order but when the waiter comes back you ask “What was in that pasta special again?” Then you still order what you wanted. I know my analogies are weird but they make sense to me,
