The Facts:
According to Herald staffer Armando Salguero, the Dolphins are still monitoring the Boldin situation. (Team president Bill) Parcells thinks this kid is a monster! He recognizes there are problems with trading for him -- compensation to the Cardinals and compensation of $7-$8 million per year to the player. But the Dolphins have definitely not at this point completely dismissed the idea of being active on the matter if it ever hits the front burner.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Don't minimize the problems Salguero notes: Compensation for both the Cards and Boldin. Indeed, the issue was best explained by Eagles HC Andy Reid, who told Philadelphia radio listeners that his team checked into the availability of Boldin before the NFL draft, but found the price too high. Reid suggested the price might have been first-, third- and fifth-round draft picks. "That's a lot of picks, No. 1," Reid said. "And then you're going to pay the guy $10 million. So you get hit on both sides of it. ..." And that remains the biggest obstacle in Boldin's quest to move on.
