Cardinals reject Boldin trade offer

The Cardinals received a trade offer Thursday for receiver Anquan Boldin but quickly rejected it, General Manager Rod Graves said Friday.

"It didn't come close to being something we would consider," said Graves, who declined to name the team or detail the offer. "We've had no other interest expressed."

The Cardinals announced last week they would listen to offers for Boldin, who would like a new contract with the Cardinals or to be traded.

It appears more likely now, Graves said, that Boldin will be with the team in 2009, although interest in Boldin could increase before the draft begins on Saturday.

"It's hard to say what teams will be willing to offer," Graves said. "I'll reiterate that we feel strongly about Anquan, what he means to our football team. We're a strong football team with him and the probability of him remaining with us is pretty high."
