Patriots and WR Anquan Boldin have mutual interest

[Adam Seward]

That was when he commanded $7m a year.

When you work you buy Vineyard Vines.

When you don't you go to TJMaxx

I'm actually not sure anyone should be buying Vineyard Vines. Ever.

The clothing I get why people buy it

The stickers on the car.....jesus

As what? Are the Patriots looking for a WR coach?

 

[PatsBoy12]

Glanced my Twitter timeline and thought it was referring to Megatron. I spilled my smoothie in excitement, only to realize it was about Anquan Boldin. If he signs, he owes me the money for the ingredients out of his signing bonus.

I think he would have been a good filler as WR5 if a) the Bills didnt have his rights and b) he wouldnt have retired already. I know you can unretire but given what BB said about how when players start to think about retirement they are essentially retired I doubt that he would be interested.

 

[BaconGrundleCandy]

I'm intrigued.

Q would add some toughness, leadership and experience to an already loaded roster. Wouldn't care about targets and you can never have enough contested catch guys.

Almost like adding a "Marsh" to the O.

Former Buffalo Bills WR Anquan Boldin wants to play for New England Patriots (report)

Report: Patriots, Anquan Boldin have mutual interest

Anquan Boldin Reportedly Remains Interested in Joining Patriots Despite Retiring

Probably unlikely, since it would require BUF to release him for our benefit. We'll see where this goes.

This is a situation where you can find a younger player who can provide performance similar to the aging Boldin for less money with upside potential going forward. There might also be a cultural/lockerroom hit in taking a new guy over someone who has worked hard over weeks, even years to make the Patriots roster. Besides, since when is "Anquan" a real name? Something fishy there.

No thanks.

I think they would need to let Hollister walk.

I'm not sold on it but what the heck

LOL I passed a Vineyard Vines shop at Regan Airport in DC

That's the right thing to do.

 

[Triumph]

The bills have to release him. Why would they ?

Fire sale to draft first and land a franchise QB in 2018.

 

[varjao]

I don't see how they would make this work now. Maybe mid season.

 

[Triumph]

Yes

70% catch rate and 8 TDs last season.

My only question is why is news like this not spreading like wildfire? Especially with the instant updates via social media these days, bleacher report etc. Normally, a "high profile" veteran WR wanting to come out of retirement to play for NE would be all over the NFL news. Also, haven't heard anything via Mike Reiss or Schefty ...

 

[Ross12]

Oh, Ben Volin reported this?? Chances are he probably was Googling and saw "Bolden looking to come back to Pats" (referring to Brandon Bolden) and jumped to Twitter immediately. "ANQUAN BOLDIN WANTS TO PLAY 4 PATS!!!!!!!!!!!111"

 

[JayNM]

If you include the clutchness of Dola, i think they were similarly important for their teams.

Boldin is more reliable. I cant see Amendola in a expanded role

 

[Wheelman]

His wiki page has the patriots as one of the teams he has played for. Strange

Why is it that every time someone reports this, it's already been corrected?

Yeah, I just checked again. It's been removed smh.

 

[ivanvamp]

Let him add 12 pounds and be a 6'2", 230 lb move TE.

Everyone knows my point of view so I will not ask.
