Boldin not necessarily wanting a trade anymore

But general manager Rod Graves and coach Ken Whisenhunt repeatedly emphasized at the team's pre-draft news conference Tuesday that they would be happy to keep Boldin and eventually try to sign him to a new contract.

"Quite a few teams have called but we have no offers from those teams," Graves said. "Anything can evolve from this point through draft day so that's where it is right now."

Speaking to reporters at his charity event in Florida last week, Boldin appeared open to staying with the Cardinals, a departure from earlier requests to be traded.

"I didn't say a trade was necessary," Boldin said. "I just want something to get resolved. It's something that's gone on long enough."

"We never said we were trying to trade Anquan," Whisenhunt said. "See, that's been the perception that's out there. All we've said was that we were willing to listen to offers."

Co-lin Cowturd had this as a topic this morning on ESpin radio. He was of the opinion that the Giants or the Titans would be fool-hardy not to get him. We have among the most picks in the draft, cap room and a real need for the position. His reason for us ( the Titans and Giants ) not getting him asap was that the economy is so bad that it is even affecting the rich populace. They are, and I'm paraphrasing here "Circling the field, waiting for a green light to land". What economic indicator would constitute that "green light" is beyond me. I'm guessing him ( Boldin ) wanting 10+ mil per year, being 28 and not having WR#1 speed has something to do with it too.

Anything that isn't being said is likely whats going to happen. If the GM is constantly saying nothing has taken place yet, then something will soon enough.
