Don’t hold you breathe fans, it appears that Boldin is going to be traded, but not to the Jets. The teams pursuing Boldin are currently the Ravens, Patriots and Chiefs while the Jets say they will not be trading Kerry Rhodes. I’d like to know where Schein and SNY received information about this rumor. It wasn’t reported anywhere else other than on SNY to my belief. SNY blew a little smoke on this one.
Adam Schein of SNY reported on Loud Mouths Wednesday that the Arizona Cardinals are interested in trading for Jets safety Kerry Rhodes. Schein says the Cardinals would trade either receiver Anquan Boldin or a third-round draft pick to the Jets in exchange for Rhodes.
For the Jets, this is a no-brainer. Rhodes was a cast-off in 2009 and was benched for a number of games. His replacement, Eric Smith, did a nice job as the starter. Acquiring Anquan Boldin for Rhodes would be a great trade for the Jets. Even receiving a third-round pick is good enough in exchange for Rhodes.
With question marks in their backfield and what could be a diminishing running game, adding a veteran receiver like Boldin would be a huge help for the Jets offense. What the Jets lose in their running game due to the release of Thomas Jones, they would gain in the passing game due to the acquisition of Anquan Boldin. Even if Boldin isn’t the same player he was a few years ago, they are getting him for a guy that the Jets’ coaching staff wrote off for a period of games in 2009.
If the Cardinals are truly interested in acquiring Rhodes and they are willing to part with Boldin, the Jets should immediately sign on to this deal.

This is a joke, right? Boldin OR 3rd round pick for Rhodes? Did Bleacher Report conduct hostile takeover of SNY? #Jets #NFL
How can the Jets trade for Boldin and afford to pay him big $ as well? BE, Boldin & Cotchery, then BE walks?
wow..if this is true..where do the jets sign?
I hope it’s true and I hope the Jets make this deal happen.
