Cards Do It Again

Then again, they had to know this was coming.

Quotes from Anquan Boldin regarding his contract situation, via AZ Central:

“At this point, I’m not even interested in a contract,” said Boldin. “For me, it’s been going on two years, and especially after last year, I was promised a deal would get done before the season. But the season’s here and obviously that hasn’t happened."

Basically, after the Cardinal's gave Larry Fitzgerald a 4-year, $40 million deal this spring, Boldin immediately wanted to get paid similar money. Right now he's scheduled to make a little over $8 million for the next three years.

I can see where Boldin might have an issue.

Now Boldin feels as if he has been betrayed by the Cards, claiming Rod Graves promised Boldin a new contract before the season. Boldin has now cut off negotiations, saying he doesn't want a contract with the Cardinal's and that he doesn't want to play for them. While not outright requesting a trade, he did say he didn't want to play for the Cardinals anymore.

Not the best quotes coming from a team leader, and not a good sign for the Cards with camp set to begin tomorrow. It will be interesting to see how this plays out...
