Philadelphia, Washington and Dallas have explored the possibility of acquiring a big-name WR, only to find that there aren't any readily available. Now those teams could wind up exploring Boldin's availability.

"Could" is the operative word in Schefter's report. ... As Arizona Republic staffer Ken Somers put it this morning: "I would be surprised if the Cardinals traded Boldin." Somers went on to explain Boldin is "the soul of this team." When management meets with college scouts to describe the type of player they want to draft, they essentially point to No. 81 and say, "Get us more of this type of guy." Somers added: "As good as Fitzgerald is, he's not a leader on this team. Boldin is. The Cardinals would be foolish to trade him. ..." That said, the Cardinals better come correct when they sit down to discuss an extension with Boldin's agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Boldin is scheduled to make $2.5 million in base salary this season, $2.75 million in base salary in 2009 and $3 million in base salary in 2010.
