Boldin has been unhappy about not getting a new contract in Arizona. He is now saying that he will play out his final year and then move on to another team next year. The East Valley Tribune quotes him as saying, “I was promised a deal would get done before this season. But the season is here and obviously it hasn’t happened,” Boldin said. “Right now … I don’t want a deal. People may think I’m being funny or just saying that just to say it. But for me, I’m just tired of it. I’ve washed my hands of the whole situation.” Full story here.

Monster Take: A lot is made of players in the final year of their contracts and we agree that it can be a motivator. Boldin seems to have a serious chip on his shoulder. We like his chances of putting up good numbers this year to put himself in good position on the free agent market.
