Boldin

[Shane]

That was my thinking. Seems like a high risk gamble on Boldin's part. If he blows out a knee again, and is still under his current contract, who would be so quick to sign him to a longer, more lucrative contract?

If I were Boldin, my line of thought would be "Screw Drew, and what he is trying to accomplish with T.O. etc"

Take care of yourself and let Drew worry about the mess he's created.

I doubt it matters being that the Cards probably has some sort of protection in the new contract in the event Boldin gets hurt again.

It won't do him any good though if he gets hurt before he signs it.

your misunderstanding me. I said that the cards probably have a clause protecting them. Not vice versa. If thats the case it wouldnt matter when Q signs.

I thought the point was Boldin shouldn't wait to sign for his own security? Especially just to help out his agent's negotiations with other teams.

No way to check, but it wouldn't surprise me in an injury insurance policy has been purchased. For a short term, they are not really that expensive.

thats a point other people were trying to make. if the cards have written in protection then it wouldnt matter if he got hurt before of after he signed.

Would it be unthinkable that the Cards and Boldin have agreed on a contract and at the request of Rosenhaus, we just don't announce it yet?

The Cards could announce it anytime between now and when camp opens. We do Rosenbaus the favor and build a better relationship with him. He's happy, Boldin is happy, and the Cards are happy. Its a win,win,win situation.

Then again there is probably a league rule preventing this practice.

Bingo. That's what I was trying to say but didn't.

But that wouldnt be dealing in "good faith" with the Bidwills fellow owners though.

It would be very easy though for Rosenhaus to tell Graves that he likes the deal, yet they want to wait a little while to sign it.

Yeah, but I don't buy that this would benefit Rosenhaus. To the contrary, I think signing Boldin would allow him to say, "Look, give me the deal we deserve, we'll sign it. (See, Boldin.)" Yes, Boldin came in for practice, but that was his decision. It makes no sense for Boldin and Rosenhaus to not sign the deal as soon as they like it because before the ink is dry they are "paid". They wait a month, or so, and Boldin slips in the shower blowing out a knee, then they lose the whole thing.

Isn't it in the Cardinals interest to wait as long as possible, e.g. till just before training camp? They longer they hold on to that signing bonus, the more interest they earn.
