Anquan Boldin is making his feelings known about the Arizona Cardinals organization now that he has been traded to the Baltimore Ravens.

According to Boldin, the team was less that forthright with him and the franchise did not follow through on promises that they made to him.

“As far as relationships with the organization, things began to sour,” Boldin said in an ESPN Radio Tuesday morning, per Michael David Smith at PFT. “From my end there were some promises that were made, and some sacrifices on my part, and they just didn’t live up to their end of the bargain.”

“For me, I’m a straight-up guy. I think if you come up and talk to me and tell me exactly where things are going and what you’re thinking, even if I don’t agree I can definitely respect it. But to be led the wrong way and told something differently is totally unacceptable to me.”

It’s unclear as to what or whom Boldin is referring to specifically, but he did say that his grievance was with the “decision-makers.”

Having spent his entire seven-year NFL career in Arizona, Boldin calls his departure bittersweet.
