The Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin still has to struggle for some days with the Cardinals as his contract situation remains in flux. To leave or not to leave, that is not really up to his choice.
Boldin’s current contract with the Cardinals will expire at the end of the 2010 season. So the team will make a decision to have a trade of the receiver, to extend the contract or simply keep Boldin with the team through the end of the contract before 2010 season. However, none of the three choices could be easy one.
First of all, a contract extension is most unlikely as Boldin has been feuding with the Cardinals’ front office for years; and to trade him will weaken the Cardinals’ passing game especially after quarterback Kurt Warner retired, and even if they are willing to have a trade, the price they desire could be unacceptable to the other team. So by so far, remaining in Cardinals jersey for 2010 season wins over all the other two possibilities. Boldin may have to wait till the end of his current contract.

Cardinals WR Boldin is trying best to be healthy for Sunday game
The Arizona Cardinals have not made their decision on whether to have wide receiver Anquan Boldin play against the Green Bay Packers for this Sunday’s wild-card game. Missing another practice Friday because of a left high ankle sprain, though, the receiver himself hopes to be available for the game.
Boldin said doctors have been at his house at night “poking and prodding” and he’s had acupuncture treatments. “I’m doing everything within my power to make sure I’m on the field Sunday,” Boldin said. “If I’m not able to go, trust me, it won’t be anything I didn’t do.”
Boldin was hurt in last Sunday’s 33-7 loss to the Packers while staying in the game to help struggling backup quarterback Matt Leinart after most of other starters in Cardinals jerseys were pulled by Coach Ken Whisenhunt earlier. With a career checkered with injuries, the three-time Pro Bowl receiver has already had the experience of playing without practicing the previous week, so it is still worthy expecting what the Cardinals’ final decision might be.
