According to ESPN, Bolden is requesting a trade. If Bolen were to leave Arizona, where do you feel he would wind up? Here are my guesses...

Top 3
Tampa Bay
Baltimore
Kansas City

Runner ups
New York Jets
Seattle
Atlanta

I think they'll just keep him from practice and ignore him long enough till he decides he wants to play for the cardinals and then let him back in. The Cardinals made it clear earlier in may or june that they weren't going to trade bolden or fitzgerald, so why would they now? They'll just handle this like how cincy handled chad johnson and be on their way.

I would guess Baltimore, but who knows what they would be willing to give up?

Pathetic attitude at this point.. just play football son.

I'm back and forth on the attitude thing. I think players should be able to demand trades if they want out or dislike the team (not so much in favor of the money thing) but i dont think the teams should be able to just sit on them till the players are in a position where they have to play (or in favre's case, they wanted to delay it long enough to make him retire again)

I'd say the player's union should do something in at least some of these cases like they did when the 49ers wanted TO to stay and he wanted out....course that union's so weak at this point i dont think they could do a thing

he signed a contract stating he would play for them for X amount of time.

he should shut up and play.

Philly needs another reciver badly... They lost T.O., then they refused to give Dante Stallworth the money he wanted, and he bolted to New England.

Desean Jackson will play well for Philly

Not saying he's boldin caliber, just saying... Reggie Brown has never seemed amazing to me

yeah, i know and said he should have to still play there if the case was just money.

someone in the future though is gonna have to do something about some of these teams though, b/c i feel teams are going to get enough leverage/control in the future where they can just say to anyone who wants to be traded "tough, you're playing for us" regardless of reason

Normally I'd agree, but if I walked into work and my colleague got 3x as much pay as me for doing work of almost identical quality, I'd be a little annoyed too.

The Cardinals are a historically moronic front office, but you still have to wonder what they were thinking when that Fitzgerald deal went down. You can't realistically have two top flight receivers on the payroll like this in the salary cap era. So it should have been addressed before it ever even got to a boiling point.

Its almost as if they didnt even forsee a problem, which is incredible, even by their crap standards of football management.

Maybe they just like Fitzgerald better?

there is no reason. don't sign the contract if you don't want to play with that team. it's that simple.

once Bolden's contract is up, he can get paid the same. until then, i have no sympathy.
