Arizona Cardinals Rumors: Anquan Boldin to Hire New Agent: Tom Condon

PrintRumors are circulating that Anquan Boldin is on the verge of hiring an agent who is very familiar with the Arizona Cardinals, Tom Condon. Condon has always been the name on the top of the list according to most reports and he's certainly a worthy replacement. He's most known for representing the highest rated quarterbacks coming out of the draft and he's as a result he's also Matt Leinart's agent. Condon does have a reputation as a shrewd negotiator and many of his young quarterback clients end up holding out during training camp. Condon and his team also represent Mike Gandy, Kenny Iwebema and Alan Branch.
How his presence in Boldin's ongoing battle with the organzation effects the situation remains to be seen, but the idea that Boldin is ready to kiss and make up might be quite off base. Thoughts?

Trade him already
I dont see the Cards giving Boldin what he wants. Now as much as I want Boldin to stay here the last thing we need is bad chemistry and a T.O. in the locker room and I see that coming. So give him his money or get some players in exchange for him before training camp starts. Don’t skrew up the chemistry, and someone should slap Dockett! If nothing happens soon “get your popcorn ready” cause were gonna have a Diva on our team.
Why?
I didn’t read your comment, the headline was retarded enough to discount anything you could have said in it.
Maybe read the comment before you open your mouth big guy

you were right.
he compared Boldin to T.O. and said he would be bad for team chemistry… guys who play with shattered faces usually are bad for the team, they set such a bad example as far as leadership dedication and selflessness are concerned. cant have that.
welcome to the SEC kiffykins...

Make him play for cheap, then trade him next off season.
Or resign him long term if it’s for 8 mil a year or less and Kurt and Larry give up some $ to make it happen.
That sounds good
But do you think that he wont cause a distraction if he doesn’t get his money?

They are all professionals being paid to play the game.
If they cant overcome Boldin pouting in the locker room than i’m positive they can’t win the division.
he won't be a distraction
Once the season actually gets here, Q is smart enough to realize that pulling a TO doesn’t help his value and it’ll cost him money in the long run.
Face it, he’s not going anywhere…..
NFC championship game (i think that was the game)
When he took off straight to the locker room after the game and didn’t bother to celebrate with his teamates? Shouldn’t have to put with that next season man, hes a great player Im just saying give him his money now, or trade before camp to avoid the mess. We don’t need a Diva on this team.

really, that bothered them?
It sure didn’t seem to slow down the offense in the very next game. It’s not an ideal situation and we probably won’t see Q waving a Cardinals flag at the end up games, but when it comes to being a professional (preparing for the game and performing on the field), there isn’t a single bit of evidence that suggests Boldin is going to become a determent to this team.
And to take it one step further, if he is traded right now that trade almost certainly will not help the team this year. As we’ve said a million times, player for player trades are exceedingly rare, especially for star players. So that leaves you with trading for picks in next year’s draft. Would picks next April, plus the absence of a Pro Bowl receiver really seem like a better alternative than having Boldin on the team?
I think it bother the fans more than the team itself.
If we were going to trade him it should have been before the draft. Like you said, I don’t think they trade Boldin this season. If he is traded it is before next years draft.
He is a hard nosed all out athlete that leaves his body on the line
I hope it all works out
doesn't matter who he hires
he ain’t going anywhere this year or get his contract situation squared away before wilson and dansby. if the bigred reverts back to a 500 winning pct. or below, i’d trade him for multiple picks in the draft. with the upcoming collective bargaining agreement expiring after the 11 season, the draft pool will be really deep because the kids know an upcoming rookie salary cap will be coming.
