NFL.com is reporting that the Cardinals are now willing to listen to offers for WR Anquan Boldin:

“Before the draft, you know there is going to talk about Anquan and his situation and a trade,” Whisenhunt said. “Since not a whole lot has changed with his contractual situation, we know that will come back up.

“It would be foolish from our standpoint not to listen to those opportunities and see what actually exists. But I want to make the point … our goal is to re-sign him to a long-term deal. That hasn’t changed.”

Said

general manager Rod Graves, “We just think it is prudent for us to evaluate all our options.”

The Cardinals have already talked some with other teams, although Graves declined to say which ones.

Sounds like the Cards are getting the point: Boldin wants out and there's not much they can do to keep him there and happy. Looks like he'll be on the move.

The top three suitors at this point appear to be the Giants, Eagles, and Bears.
