According to NFL Network’s Adam Schefter, Arizona Cardinals’ wide receiver Anquan Boldin wants to fly. No Eagles fans, he doesn’t mean fly like an Eagle (well yet), he just wants to get the hell out of Arizona. Can’t say I blame him after Larry Fitzgerald’s contract extension, with his talent he probably doesn’t want to play second fiddle to anyone.

Shefter says the Cardinals have informed him that they will not grant his request but that a team could still possibly blow them away with a draft-day offer. He speculates that the Dallas Cowboys, Washington Redskins and Philadelphia Eagles could be one of those teams.

Yesterday, I wrote a blog where i said if Boldin was on the market he’s the one the Eagles should go after. I’ll stand by that statement today. If Boldin becomes available he’d be the most attainable with what the Eagles have been offering teams. A deal of Boldin for Lito Sheppard and a couple mid to late round picks would be a great deal for both sides.

Arizona still needs depth and defensive help, they’d handle both of those with Lito and draft picks, pending they draft well with those picks. The Eagles, well they’d get their #1 wide out, and make all those Iggles fans happy.
