The rumors of where Michael Vick might be playing in the 2010 season are sure to start heating up when the new league year is welcomed in on March 5th and the trading  period begins.

However, the Eagles’ quarterback might have stirred up the serious speculation a little early with some statements he made on an Atlanta radio show appearance. After being asked by the host to answer a listener’s question regarding where he would like to play if he could choose anywhere in the NFL, Vick said it would be the Carolina Panthers.

Here’s his response:

“Well, you know, it’s close to home. I like the uniforms. You get to play against Atlanta twice a year. Ain’t nothing better than playing against your former team, right? So, yeah, that would be a good look, it would be a good look.”

Cardinals wide receiver Anquan Boldin is no stranger to off-season trade discussions, having pushed for his team to deal him elsewhere multiple times in absence of a new contract to pay him a similar amount of money as his counterpart Larry Fitzgerald.

Up to now though, Arizona has been unwilling to part with Boldin, preferring instead to let him brood quietly in the locker room over his salary concerns while he puts up solid numbers on the field. All of that could change in the near future, as the word on the street is that multiple teams are eyeing a potential trade offer to acquire Boldin, and depending on the price, a deal could be struck this off-season to send the receiver packing for a new home.

According to Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald, the Dolphins are apparently okay with the idea of sending a third round selection in this year’s draft to obtain Boldin, and talks between the two sides could start up fairly soon. Obviously, it’s still early in the process and much of the talk surrounding a trade of Boldin is still speculation, but there seems to be a definite consensus among league insiders that this is the year that Boldin finally gets dealt.

Other potential suitors for Boldin’s services include Kansas City, Baltimore, Chicago, New England, and Detroit, with the Chiefs being the most likely destination given head coach Todd Haley’s previous relationship with Boldin in Arizona.
