Boldin Taking Time On Free Agent Decision

NFL News
April 14, 2016

Anquan Boldin is still without a team in mid-April, but he’s not in a particular rush to sign, as Jamey Eisenberg of CBSSports.com writes. Anquan Boldin

I’m taking my time right now,” Boldin said. “It’s the first time in 13 years I’ve been a free agent, so I get to pick where I want to go now. I’m definitely going to take my time and make the best decision for me and my family.”

Boldin, 35, is working out in South Florida and staying in shape as he waits for the right opportunity. Even though he has enjoyed a long career and even has a Super Bowl ring, the veteran says that he is not thinking about retirement. Last season, Boldin recorded only 69 catches for 789 yards and four touchdowns, so he’s probably looking to go out with a stronger campaign. Boldin’s struggles, in large part, can be attributed to the turmoil surrounding the 49ers and their difficulties at quarterback.

Boldin made his first free agent visit a little over two weeks ago when he met with Washington. However, the wide receiver says that he is hoping to sign with a team that can win the Super Bowl and Washington isn’t exactly a leading contender.

After joining the 49ers in 2013, the former second-round pick posted consecutive 1,000-yard seasons, with 12 total touchdowns in ’13 and ’14. Over the course of his career, Boldin has made three Pro Bowls while racking up 13,195 yards off of 1,009 catches with 74 touchdowns.
