Obviously, Ken Whisenhunt was going to have something to say in response to yesterday’s reports that he was tampering with contract extension talks and not communicating with Anquan Boldin … unless, of course, those reports were true. If that was the case, he likely would have just gone with the route.
But it’s not the case …”You guys have been at practice every day, we’ve been communicating,” Whisenhunt said Tuesday. “At least, if communicating is talking - that’s what we’ve been doing at practice. Now, as we go forward from here, I don’t know. I don’t foresee anything changing, so if it does that’s certainly in his court.”Anyone else loving this? We’ve got a coach and receiver arguing through the media about whether or not they are talking? Good times.
I hate to go here, but it’s probably not a coincidence that all this is happening while Boldin’s agent — Drew Rosenhaus — wants something. Rosenhaus is hoping for a big-time contract extension that is equal to or exceeding Larry Fitzgerald’s for his client … low and behold “sources” start anonymously coming out with information about Boldin wanting to leave camp and not being on speaking terms with his coach.
Sounds a bit fishy, no?
