Eagles are cheap with Boldin?

PFT reports from Eskin:

 

Eagles Offered No Higher Than A Three For Boldin

Posted by Mike Florio on April 25, 2009, 8:36 a.m. EDT

Now that we’ve got an open texting thread on the Sprint phone with WIP’s Howard Eskin, we’ve got a quick and easy way to find out what he’s actually reporting about the Eagles (or what he’s saying about “blogs” . . . it sounds like Eskin is dry heaving when he says that word) after we get an e-mail from a reader telling us that Eskin has just said something about the Eagles (or about “blogs”) on the air.

Friday, Eskin told us that he reported the Eagles indeed made an offer to the Cardinals for Anquan Boldin, and that it was no higher than a third-round pick.

He also said that, contrary to other reports, the Eagles have not offered a second-round pick and a third-round pick for Boldin.

It remains to be seen whether a team can work out a deal with the Cardinals for Boldin this weekend.  Unless the Cards have given Boldin’s agent, Drew Rosenhaus, the green light to negotiate a new deal with a new team, it might be difficult to get the planets aligned in time to pull the trigger.

One source with intimate knowledge of the thinking of one of the teams reportedly interested in Boldin tells us that the asking price of $9 million or $10 million per year could be scaring some folks off, given Boldin’s age, his lack of high-end speed, and his history of injuries.

So what does this mean for the Birds?  If the Eagles don't budge... we probably won't be getting Boldin.

Rumor has it the Titans are willing to give their 2nd round pick for him.

yah…let’s stop guessing what’s going to happen now since all the dust will likely (hopefully) be settled in a few hours anyways.

agreed

The Eagles obviously do not value him highly enough to go after him.
I think he will be moved today, however, and I am very interested to see who wins the bidding war for him. I hope not the Giants…

This is because the Cards are claiming no one made them a significant offer. Both that and this report sound like BS to me. The Eagles offered a 3 for Tony G.

Maclin

Maclin is a much better option at the 19 spot and not to mention McCoy at 54 wow love this daft so far!
