Bolden signed with the Redskins.

The report says that Bolden signed with the Redskins according to NFL.com, but according to NFL.com, he hasn't signed with anybody.

Hmm, well, I'm happy to be wrong if so. I definitely like Bolden. I saw the Auburn game this year and I remember thinking that the guy looked like a stud.

How many of these guys do we need? Is Bill going off the deeo end w/ a brand new offense for the post Brady era? 5 OL, 3 TE's, 3 RB/WR/QB hybrids

It's probably a case of mistaken identity. Kelvin Bolden, a WR out of Southern Miss signed with the Redskins.

Bengals got your boy Dye. Couldn't you have made a personal call to get this done OTG?

He no doubt saw Wilson get drafted and knew he had no shot at making the team.

Heh!! I LIKE Dye, but methinks you overrate my interest in'm!!

I just gave'm a good Scouting Report.

I wouldn't've actually DRAFTED'm.

I haven't seen a single Safety I would've drafted, the last two years running.

It's all about CornerBack Convertibles, with me.

Increasingly looks like Brandon Bolden will sign with the Pats.

Bolden was really good in 2010 -- averaged 6.0 YPC over 976 yards, with 17 touchdowns, in the SEC -- and then, this year, he had a hairline fracture in his ankle that sent his stock way down. If he's healthy, we might have stolen a guy.

Bolden was AP honorable mention all-SEC in 2010, when Ridley was second team (behind Mark Ingram). He was on his way to breaking all of Deuce McAllister's school records when he got hurt. He's not a speedster, but he's really athletic and has good power, and he catches the ball well. With room for one more back on the roster, he's definitely one of the more interesting signs.

Man, if Bolden doesn't turn out to be a head case then the Pats look like they made a steal of a signing.

If it took them a year to iron out the creases he could be a very valuable player going forward.

More confirmation on Bolden, this time from the New York Times.

Re: Brandon Bolden RB from Ole' Miss Signed

I had to laugh because when I googled his name one of the first links listed is to a Bleacher Report article claiming he signed with the Redskins two days ago.


Here's a link to his profile from his school's site. Surprise, surprise: another team captain.

As someone who has written for Bleacher Report, I can say it's very wiki-sports. Very happy that our Bolden is Brandon: wanted Pats to consider taking him on Day Three, but they didn't have the picks early on. Glad he's headed to Foxboro. :rocker:
