Boldin is pissed!!!!!.....good news for eagles?????
Arizona Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin, unhappy that his contract has not been renegotiated, said Wednesday he will play out his contract and then leave for another team.
Boldin, whose current deal expires after the 2010 season, said he feels he's been lied to by the Cardinals.
"After last year, I was promised a deal would get done before this season. But the season is here and obviously that hasn't happened. I don't want a deal. People may think I'm being funny, or just saying that to say that. But I'm just tired of it. I'm washing my hands of the whole situation."
Boldin said his unhappiness won't affect his play on the field this year, but that he has no intention of ever signing another contract with the Cardinals.
"My agent (Drew Rosenhaus) has orders not to negotiate," Boldin said.
WHEN ASKED IF HE WOULD PREFER A TRADE AT THIS POINT, BOLDIN PAUSED AND SAID, "I REALLY DONT KNOW."
Boldin said his unhappiness does not stem from the fact that teammate Larry Fitzgerald received a new four-year, $40 million deal in the offseason. Boldin renegotiated his rookie contract in July of 2005, agreeing to a four-year, $22.75 million extension that included a $13.255 million signing bonus.
Even with three years still left on that deal, Boldin believes his performance warrants another contract extension.
"I've earned it," Boldin said. "I don't have to make a case to anybody as to why I'm deserving of a new contract. That's self explanatory."
