Sal Paolantonio (ESPN.com) is reporting that Arizona has dropped it’s initial demand of a first round pick in return for WR Anquan Boldin, and will now accept offers that include a second round selection along with other considerations.

This has jumpstarted the speculation that Boldin will be traded by tomorrow afternoon, and the Eagles, Giants, and Jets have all expressed serious interest in making a play for the Pro Bowl receiver. It’s likely that Kansas City would also be interested after trading away their Pro Bowl TE in Tony Gonzalez to Atlanta yesterday.

Boldin has had several run ins over the past two seasons with Cardinals management, and has repeatedly expressed his anger over being paid significantly less than his teammate Larry Fitzgerald. Any team that does acquire Boldin would have to commit a large amount of money to him as well as the compensation, but given his production over his career, not many can argue with the value at this point.
