Jeff Ireland says trading away picks unlikely

Is it feasible to send R Williams to Arizona for Boldin....over a 3 year window it could make sense for them(solidify run game,bring fans,draft other positions)...especially if they can platoon him?
 
Does this really surprise anyone? This has been their MO all along, in fact collecting draft picks not getting rid of them.
 
The reason I said postering is we traded our 4th for Fasano and Ayodele and our 7th for Ferguson, so yes this regime will trade picks if they think they get good value, so while it's unlikely to trade picks for Boldin, it's not unrealistic to do a combo, person, pick to get him.. having said that, the likihood seems low..

Yes but those trades are equivalent to making draft pick selections (salary wise but more talented) but the FO is even more familiar with them. Even though we see Boldin as a top talent we aren't for sure that he'd come in and have the same success here and costing us a 1st round pick and a top 5 salary to boot. Alot of us thought Wilford would come in and help too but that didn't workout to well did it? At least Wilford only cost alittle bit of money to find out not a pick and an enormous contract.

You really think bolin is the equivalent of a 1st rounder's salary and talent..basically we're going to be given a 1st a couple of million anyway, yes is top 10 money for a draft..but it's a quanity that's proven in the NFL..vs say a Jake long who became the highest paid OL ever, when he hadn't proven a thing in the NFL.. Bolin is the rare exception to the rule of trading pic's for me, I'm generally not in favor of it, but a Bolin would intrique me, if Az doesn't ask for the house and quest house. If they do, then you're right he's not worth 2 or 3 pic's that can do more hopefully for us.. I'm interested if we id someone the cardinals would want and A pick.. i.e., Ricky and a low pick for Boldin. That's just an example, not something I'm saying to do.. but Ricky, Holliday, Martin or Fasano and a pick or something like that, wouldn't bother me.

We had no choice when it came to paying the #1 pick in the draft, we have a choice in trading for a WR and re-doing his existing contract to make him one of the highest paid WR's in the league.
If trading a couple players and a 2nd round pick or lower would work then sign me up. I just think Arizona holds all the cards in this situation, they can tell him their not trading him unless they get maximum value. He's under contract so if he wants to sit he'll lose more money and get fined. Just like we did with JT, we waited until someone buckled and gave us what we wanted.
R.Williams isn't half the player Boldin is and he fetched a 1st and 3rd so how can anyone think we'd get him for less. I also don't believe in the need of Boldin (#1 WR in general) as many others feel we do, I'd rather get a solid veteran (i.e Holt). I'd rather get a butt kicking Oline and Defense and then fill in some more offensive pieces later.
