Cardinals coach Ken Whisenhunt spoke out at the owners meeting, and made it sound as if he’s expecting unhappy wide receiver Anquan Boldin to be with the team in 2009, passing by the fact that Boldin has said he wants out, and pointing out that he has two years left on his contract.

“We’ve said all along Anquan is a very important part of our organization and football team,” Whisenhunt said during this morning’s NFC coaches-media breakfast at the league meetings. “And we’re working to get a new contract with him based on the level he’s played for us.”

The Whiz also talked about Kurt Warner’s arthroscopic hip surgery: “Kurt’s doing well. He’s excited about having this done and being able to play pain free. He felt like he could have still played with what he was playing with but this is a situation where it will only make things better.”
