Patriots and WR Anquan Boldin have mutual interest

[aluminum seats]

This is one of many things where my opinion ultimately is shaped by whatever Belichick does.

To me, this is a complete non-starter. If the Pats sign him? Then it's a great idea!

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

No, that position's targeted for Killings

Experienced ...extremely tough ...can make tough grabs...excellent in run blocking. Would be a great addition.

It was after Julian went down. They turned to Dorsett in the meantime..

Fitzgerald would have been great here but that ship has sailed for awhile now. He has been very loyal to the cardinals but if a guy deserves to go on top it would be Fitzgerald.

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"

If u AINT TROLLEN you AINT Ben Volen

As of right now, Hollister has a shot a that role

At least we know we have him in our back pocket in case of an injury.

Since it's Ben Volin who is reporting this, I assume it means that Anquan Boldin doesn't really exist.....

To Google'n Volin, Anquan Boldin exists in the same universe where Robert Kraft owns Kraft Foods.

I would have been down for this in 2012.

We see what you did there

 

[TheFlyingWedge]

Kick the tires and put him on the shadow roster a la Stephen Jackson/Austin Colle.

 

[TinhWoodhead]

Seems like a long shot, not sure Bills would be willing to cut him.

Bills have been our farm team last couple years

Taller JE or Steve Smith-esque?

What did I do? I was serious about Hollister as a move TE , h-back as he did it at WY

Sounds about right to me. If Mitchell's situation gets worst and he heads to IR, then I am all about Boldin. Otherwise, I'm happy with that we've got.

I actually think it's pretty cool that they kept Hollister. He's still pretty raw but he seemed like a hard worker, I think he can actually develop into a solid TE with development. I also think it's very neat that they also kept his brother on the practice squad. Imagine if in two years the Hollister twins are actually starting for the Pats? John Harbaugh will be having a total mental breakdown at Belichick fielding twins at different positions on offense.

Thought your "has a shot" was a continuing play on the "move TE " "killings" posts

I'm not that clever.

 

[AvocadoIceCream]

Why? He's old as dirt

I'm sure some UFA is 100 times better than him
