Should the Cowboys trade for Anquan Boldin?

by Calvin Watkins

Say the Cowboys cut ties with Terrell Owens this spring. Should the team work a deal and get Arizona's Anquan Boldin?

The problem of course is the lack of a first round pick to offer Arizona. The Cowboys have nine draft picks available to trade. They gave up three picks including a first rounder to Detroit last fall to get Roy Williams.

Jerry Jones said he doubts the team will be a player in free agency and expects teams to reach out to him regarding trading for one of his many picks.

However, the Cowboys could rid themselves of Owens and maybe get Boldin in return. The catch of course is do you rework Boldin's deal, he has two years remaining, or do you let him play it out?

Boldin most likely would want a new deal, which is what the Cowboys did with Williams when they traded for him.
Is Boldin and Williams a better combination than Williams and Owens?
