Boston, flyin' the coop... to San Diego!

Guys, here is the LOWDOWN on this lowdown move by the Cards HOT OFF "the Gridiron Newsstand":
The Speculation -
http://www.azcentral.com/sports/cardinals/0220cardinals0220.html;
The Affirmative Confirmation -
http://eastvalleytribune.com/index.php?sty=854.
Also, if you were wondering, no, Jake Plummer was not tagged, either.
As a result, both Boston and Plummer may end up being "tagged out", so to speak, by other smarter teams (like my Broncos  , at least in the case of Plummer  ).
Where do you guys think Boston ends up?
(Man, I just realized that I broke this before KFFL!   )
Edited to adjust the Topic!

SO!!! I guess this is MAJOR. Arizona has finally outseated CINN as the most dumbest franchise in the league in my book. This is the same team that let S. Rice go for free, drafted Thomas Jones, ALWAYS has a holdout issue with its 1st round picks...and STILL SUCKS!!!! Oh yeah not to mentiion they are always BILLIONS under the cap to boot. Go figure.
CUMgrats to Ariz for not deciding to keep either of their guys that they spent so much time and effort in for yet another year.
Oh well, its great for me , maybe Boston will go to a team that wants to win. Plummer deserves better as well, since he will be wearing the ugly colors of orange and dark blue next year. Maybe he can throw the ball more than 50 yds in "thin air" next year and hook up with SMith, Mac or Lehlie.

If you're talking about increasing value, LT's value has to SKYROCKET with this deal. Now not only does he have Pro-Bowl FB Lorenzo Neal blocking for him, whom in my opinion, is THE best blocking FB in the NFL, but now he also has a WR who can out muscle ANY CB in the NFL, and Boston will churn out the big plays when the D brings in that 8th man to try and stop the run.
We may be seeing the beginning of a very POTENT, and may I add VERY young offense. Boston, 24, I believe Brees is 25(?), and LT, 23(?)

Boston will seriously help SD, and was a great acquisition to replace Conway. However, I wouldn't expect big #'s outta him. Schotty isn't a pass-happy guy. After all, when you've got LT, use'em.
For some reason, I just get a Keyshawn to TB vibe from this. Then again, TB had no backs and Brees was pretty pass-happy in college. I dunno, we'll see.

I don't know why, but I was thinking about this same thing this morning. Brees now has a very young, very good back in LT2, and three good receivers to throw to in Boston as the #1, Caldwell as the #2, and Dwight as the speedy slot #3, plus tight end Stephen Alexander (not great, but decent enough to keep defense's honest in the middle) and you have yourself a potentially very productive offense.
