If a team's looking for a young, legitimate number one receiver, they certainly have options right now. The Browns are looking to trade Braylon Edwards, and now the Cardinals are open to offers for Anquan Boldin. Both are relatively young, both are very good, and maybe most importantly for a wide receiver, neither appears to be clinically insane.

So where might they end up? Let's look at the contenders:

• Philadelphia Eagles. Naturally. Anytime a receiver's available -- and I mean absolutely any receiver -- the Eagles are always the first team anyone mentions. This makes sense, because the Eagles don't have very good wide receivers, and they haven't for some time.

But here's why I'd bet against Philadelphia: Because it never, ever happens. The best predictor of future behavior is past behavior, and the Eagles past behavior indicates that they just don't care about adding a big-time wideout. They don't think it's worth the price they'd have to pay. History says the Eagles might pretend to be interested, but they won't be pulling the trigger.

• New York Giants. They were in the Braylon Edwards business, and that deal isn't quite done yet. I'm sure they'll give Arizona a call, kick the tires on Anquan, and compare prices. Clearly, they're after a new number one receiver after the departure and possible incarceration of Plaxico Burress. Both guys would fit the bill perfectly.

• Baltimore Ravens. Joe Flacco needs targets, and Derrick Mason isn't going to last forever (I don't think). They can try to snag one in the draft, but this year's class is not thought of as one that's particularly good for receivers, and the Ravens don't pick until pretty late in the first round. Whatever receiver they get there isn't likely to be tremendously productive in his rookie year.

• Tennessee Titans. They need the help at receiver, and there have been indications that they know it and are willing to go get it.
