Anquan Boldin, wide receiver, free agent
Boldin has been all over the United States catching passes after being drafted by the Arizona Cardinals in the second round in 2003. He is one of the few remaining active NFL players from that season’s draft class.
For his efforts, Boldin has tallied 1,076 catches, which ranks him at No. 9 all time in receptions. The one-time Super Bowl champ migrated to the Baltimore Ravens where he spent 2010-12. He then spent three seasons with the San Francisco 49ers before landing a one-year deal with the Detroit Lions in 2016.
His receptions have tapered down some the past couple of years. But in his brief stint with Detroit he started in all 16 games, caught 70.5 percent of his passes and scored eight times. Boldin had not seen that much end zone production since his final year with the Cardinals in 2008.
The tough as nails receiver turned 36 last October. He just recently said he would love to play in the NFL for a 15th season but is not in a hurry to join a team until training camp begins.
Will there be any takers? We would like to think so considering Boldin’s gas tank is far from empty.
