CARDINALS DENY THAT BOLDIN IS ON THE BLOCK

In response to our report that the Arizona Cardinals are shopping receiver Anquan Boldin, Cards G.M. Rod Graves tells Kent Somers of the Arizona Republic that the Cardinals’ position on Boldin has not changed. So, in other words, Graves says that the Cardinals aren’t shopping Boldin. That said, our source tells us that the Cardinals are “definitely” shopping Boldin. And here’s the reality that applies when a team is shopping a player. Word tends to get out, because the folks to whom the player is shopped are under no obligation to keep it a secret. So, basically, that’s a polite way of saying that we think Graves isn’t telling Somers the truth.
