The Facts:
HC Ken Whisenhunt sounds as if he’s expecting Boldin to be with the team next season, pointing out that he has two years left on his contract. “We’ve said all along Anquan is a very important part of our organization and football team,” Whisenhunt said during this morning’s NFC coaches-media breakfast at the league meetings. “And we’re working to get a new contract with him based on the level he’s played for us.”

As SI.com insider Peter King suggested earlier this week, the Cards won't go to the $10-million-a-year Boldin wants. And King believes that if a team calls and offers a mid- to late-first-round pick for Boldin, Arizona would listen. If, however, Boldin is willing to do a deal for between $8 and $9 million a year, a T.J. Houshmandzadeh- or Plaxico Burress-type contract, King believes the disgruntled wideout could get something done with Arizona.
