Miami Dolphins could make a play for Arizona Cardinals WR Anquan Boldin

The Miami Dolphins have been in the market for a true number one wide out for a while now. Devone Bess, Ted Ginn Jr., Greg Camarillo, and Brian Hartline are the current wideouts on the roster who have seen playing time.

Miami needs a tough, physical receiver who will be willing to go over the middle and make a tough catch. They already have vertical threats.

One player who could fill the void on the Dolphins roster is Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall. However, Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald indicates that the Dolphins have not shown interest in Marshall and he does not believe they will pursue him.

Instead, the Dolphins target could be current Arizona Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin. Boldin has been trying to get a new contract for a few years now and he has even requested a trade in the past. This year the 2003 Rookie of the Year has changed his tune.

“I’m going to let it play out,” Boldin has previously told the Miami Herald.

“I can’t do anything one way or the other,” he continued. “If I go to them and request a trade, it don’t matter. I’m under contract for another year. So no matter what I say or do, that won’t change anything. I’m under contract for another year. So whatever happens, it depends on what the Cardinals want to do. I’m not worried about it at all.”

Barry Jackson says that the Dolphins could offer a third-round pick for Boldin.The offer may seem low, but it will be more than enough to open negotiations.
