depending on what the other considerations are. I’d say Bolding is worth the #49 pick, it wouldn’t change our drafting strategy that much in the later rounds anyway. So JA you’re on the clock.

Give them all of our draft picks minus our compensatory ones. I don’t care. Just bring him in!

I was hoping for safety or DE with the second round pick, provided both Britt and Robiskie were off the board. Anquan Boldin for a second rounder and considerations is most likely to good to pass up. Boldin is a proven commodity over Robiskie and Britt.

I would lament the lack of a draft towards the defensive side of the ball, but honestly, with all the money that we have paid to our defense in the past two years. Some players on BigD need to get off their ass and start performing closer to 100% anyways. Here’s to hoping Marinelli lights the proverbial fire under their collective asses.

If the Bears end up with Boldin?

Then I want to say it now, This will have been the greatest off-season that the Bears and Jerry Angelo have ever had. Our offense could become so good that we could be serious contenders even with the 28th or 29th ranked defense.

this would definitely go down as the biggest off-season in Bear’s history (and potentially the best). I don’t understand why the Cardinal’s would come out publicly to announce they’re willing to take less for Boldin now the day before the draft. More than likely some team that loses out on one of the top 8 receivers in the draft will panic and offer something better than the 2nd and a late round pick. I don’t think the Cardinals are in any rush to get a trade done because unlike the Cutler situation with Denver, Arizona is in control of the situation and will dictate the terms and if they aren’t offered something they like then I’m sure they’ll be plenty content to sit back and 1) wait for something better to come up or 2)have Boldin play because despite him asking for a trade, he’s a team player and he’s under contract so he’ll go out and do his job (even if he isn’t happy with the team).

would to have a deal in place that’s heads above the others. the Cards would probably send him to an AFC team or a shitty NFC team before trading him away to a conference team that has Cutler, Forte and Hester on their offense.

I really believe Boldin would be the perfect fit. The Bears have a deep threat (and getting better) in Hester. And as most of you know, Boldin is known as one of the Best in-traffic receivers in the game. I love it. I was dead set on the Bears needing a 6’3 + receiver for the readzone (like Burress or Edwards) but hey, Olsen is 6’5’’! If he isn’t gonna be a big enough target for Cutler no one is.

So with that being said, I love the idea… I don’t know how EVERY NFL team isn’t putting a big red bow on their 2nd round pics and offering them to the Cardnals.

*I don’t know why EVERY…

do it jerry give em are 2nd and 5th + hillimeyer or vasher get it done buddy!!!!!

can trump any Bears offer at any point between now and the draft tomorrow.

Odds of trading for Boldin:

10 to 1.

This years 2nd & 5th, and if need be a conditional pick for 2010 based on Boldin’s proformance in 2009

It is a no brainer…

Mr. Angelo has some more tricks up his sleeve. He still has the fever from the Cutler move. Getting Boldin would solidify his place as the greatest Bear GM, ever. We would crown him King of Chicago.

i’m sure that someone with a top 10 2nd round pick will be in the bidding as opposed to our 17th. on top of that, one of those teams will also have a 3rd rounder to trade which we don’t have. keep dreaming.

Let’s go out and get him. Trade our second round pick and maybe Bennett for some leverage.

are likely not the pieces that the Cards are going to look for. It’s going to have to be a bigger player. Urlacher, Briggs, someone of that caliber is going to have to be offered as part of the deal to land Boldin. I dont’ see the Cards taking a 2nd and Hillenmeyer or Clark or both … Jerry’s got the balls to do this, but it’s going to come at a price. NO WAY we get Boldin without giving up talent.

i would assume that’s the biggest obstacle for the Bears if the Cardinals did indeed lower they’re asking price to a 2nd rounder and some change….

with Marcus Harrison or Mark Anderson and Corey Graham?

I still think we should be looking at MarHar too though.

they are now talking to Boldin’s agent

Cards have given Titans permission to talk to Rosenhause

I love this stuff. People are going to be lying and dealing and sneaking around from here to Monday.

I’m gonna be on the road tomorrow and working. Otherwise I’d be on here all day, saying simpleminded, unsourced things with great enthusiasm.

NONE….

 A 2nd rounder and basically filler is definitely a bidding war we can win. I think the Cards will wait to make whatever deal until an interested team is on the clock and a player they covet is on the board. If we can get a deal done tonight (ASAP) that would be better for us. They really hold all of the Cards in this situation. get it? cards! HAHAHA.

if this deal is for real Angelo has to be all over it… It could be just a ploy to get teams all bidding for Boldin, and it might be a smart move

SI.com reports Detroit just signed Stafford to a deal; 6 year 41.7 million guaranteed.

He might seem cheap now for a second round draft pick and other considerations, but he won’t be cheap when he demands a contract extension. I’m just not sure he’s worth it considering his age and how he won’t have someone like larry fitzgerald to make him look better if he’s on the bears. With any trade possibility, there’s always risk, but i’m just not sure if he’s the answer.
