GLENDALE, Ariz. - It was expected that if Anquan Boldin wasn't traded before the NFL draft he would probably remain a wide receiver for the Arizona Cardinals. However, Boldin's agent Drew Rosenhaus said on his Twitter page that he believes Boldin will still be traded.

"I still believe Anquan will be traded before training camp," Rosenhaus wrote on Twitter. "I hope to work together with the Cardinals to resolve the situation by then."

It seemed Boldin had nowhere to go when the Philadelphia Eagles, New York Giants and Tennessee Titans all drafted a wide receiver in the first round. However, with the Baltimore Ravens still unhappy with the set of wide receivers on their roster, an offer for Boldin may still be on the table.

According to the Baltimore Sun, the Ravens are currently holding tryouts with wide receivers Jerry Porter, Kelley Washington, D.J Hackett and Tab Perry.

It is unknown how much or even if the Ravens made an offer for Boldin before the draft, or if they are interested in him now.

The Eagles drafted wide receiver Jeremy Maclin from Missouri in the first round, the Giants drafted wide receiver Hakeem Nicks from North Carolina and the Titans drafted Rutgers wide receiver Kenny Britt. These teams still might be interested in a Boldin trade since most rookie receivers have a tough time adjusting to the NFL their first year, and all of these teams are potential Super Bowl contenders.

Boldin has been vocal this past year that he is unhappy with the Cardinal's organization because they are reluctant to give him a big contract that he believes he deserves.

When Boldin reported for the Cardinals' mini-camp he did not participate in any organized team activities because he said he had a hamstring injury. When asked if he was going to report to training camp he said it's too early to make a decision on that.

  What Would Q Do? That's what we need to ask ourselves as we live every day of our lives. On a side note, the Cardinals absolutey need Anquan Boldin if they want to maintain their "High Flying Offense". Let's face it, Anquan Boldin made Larry Fitzgerald and Steve Breaston better, actually, let me replace better with "more dangerous". He drew attention off those two recievers and opened up the secondary for Kurt Warner to have a field day. And yes, I know we won important games last year without Q on the field. But do you honestly think Fitz is going to be able to handle each teams best Cornerback plus double coverage week in and week out with Breaston picking up the slack? Maybe, but I would sleep a heck of a lot better at night knowing I have 81 next to 11 and 15.

  As much as I like him I think it is time for the CAncer to go. Good luck where ever you end up.

  I respect Boldin as a player. He played last year even thou he was made at the organization. He played great too. The thing that irks me is that he still has two more years on his current contract. Be a man you put your name on the dotted line, you made the deal now stand by it. Don't become another Football Elite PUNK (look at were T.O is you want to follow his footstep?)Be the MAN you say you are and complete your contract. Tell drew that he PUNKED you for 20 million and that HE needs to pay you for presenting that deal to you for the contract extension. Enough said...SHUT UP and PLAY OUT YOUR CONTRACT Q...
