I would feel like an *** hole if the #1 WR was taking less money so I, the #2 receiver, could feel happy.

Fitz is Godly but at the same time Boldin makes him better

He's not stupid, he knows that Boldin makes himself and the Cards better

Can't argue against that at all. If Boldin left, teams can cover Fitz better.

Larry is clearly the true definition of a great teammate.

You aren't going to win without good teammates. This is hardly the first time a player has restructured their contract to allow a team to make a move to keep / pick up other players. Larry's family are stand up folk.

Actually if you look at it that way Boldin has been playing for less then hes worth for a while now allowing the Cards the funds to be able to go out and get pieces to improve the team.

The Cards are a team with two number one receivers, a claim not many teams can make. There's no question Boldin deserved the extra money, it's just a matter of if he was going to get it with the Cards or another team. Fitzgerald realizes what a good player Boldin is and what a compliment they are to each other. I wish more players would act this way in salary negotiations.

Yeah I don't think there is much to debate, both Fitz and Warner know they need Boldin to get back to the SB...good move by both to free up the extra cash

I hope the two of them remain on the same team cause they can carve up CB's all day. Larry is classy to say the least and he knows they have the best shot at going back to the Super Bowl with Boldin on the team. That was a fun Super Bowl to watch thanks to those two. But mainly due to Larry killing it.

This makes Larry look like the most generous player in the league. Things like this aren't forgotten when judgment day comes... aka hall of fame voting. Obviously doing this alone isn't what would get Larry in the HOF but for a player as fantastic as he is, this makes a nice cherry on top to show just how much of a team player he is. On the contrary this makes Boldin look horribly greedy.

How on Earth does it look that way?

Boldin has been playing for less for years now, he deserves to be paid like one of the best in the game.
