On the team's official forum, opinions on Boldin's battle for a new contract are mixed. One poster compares Boldin to Cincinnati WR Chad Johnson.

Don't Boldin and Johnson have the same agent in Drew Rosenhouse? All he want his players to do is hold out to get more money for themselves and him. We've seen it time and time again, the Cards have a slew of 6'2+ young dynamic wide outs. If Boldin holds out he will be cut, that's the beauty of the NFL. The owners don't have to pay these guys for not showing up, they can cut them before the season starts. There are no guarentee's unless your a top 10 rookie who hasn't proven himself, yet makes more than the best guy at his position who's played for at least 7 years.

Arizona would be stupid to not pay this guy, I don't think they realize how good of a WR he is. The cardinals are bad enough as it is they can't lose a weapon like Boldin.

The Cards cannot afford to lose him after losing Bryant Johnson as well. This Boldin is just as good as Fitzgerald, and they are a good 1-2 punch.

LGB - If Boldin gets cut, (no chance of that happening) every team in the NFL will line up to sign him. (Niners included) The hold out hurts the Cards more than Boldin. He'll probably hold out, and get paid just before it gets too ugly.

If they decide not to pay him, and let him hold out, the'll get this year's money back, but the'll have to use that to sign the #1 pick in the draft, because their team ranking drops signifigantly with out those two studs catching the ball from Warner/Leinert.
