Odd 'n ends

Cardinals first-year coach Ken Whisenhunt hinted that wide receiver Anquan Boldin might be doing more than just catching the football. Whisenhunt might throw a few option passes and run occasionally from scrimmage. Then again, by Whisenhunt saying so publicly, he might be trying to lull opposing defensive coordinators into a trap. Either way, it should be interesting for Boldin, who played some quarterback at Florida State. He has thrown just two passes in four years with the Cardinals . . . Former Bills and Texans receiver Eric Moulds did enough for Titans coaches to warrant a one-year deal this week. The three-time Pro Bowl receiver has more career catches (732) than all six receivers already on the Titans roster combined. The Titans had hoped to sign Keyshawn Johnson, but he decided to retire and join ESPN as a television analyst . . . Browns center LeCharles Bentley has had four surgeries on his left knee since the opening day of training camp last season, when he tore the patella tendon. The last two surgeries were performed by Giants team physician Dr. Russell Warren, who recently cleared Bentley to play again. But the Browns are being conservative, placing him on the physically unable to perform list until he improves his strength . . . Derek Anderson has the inside track over Charlie Frye to be the Browns’ starting quarterback this season. Rookie first-round pick Brady Quinn, who was a holdout when camp opened on Friday, is not expected to start right away . . . We’re still not sold on the idea that Priest Holmes will definitely play this season, despite the fact that he’s reporting to Chiefs’ training camp. He hasn’t played since suffering a serious neck injury in 2005.
