Anquan Boldin

Recommended Posts

Im not one to make a page about any free agent, but it seems more likely than ever that Anquan Boldin could be an option. He is tough, reliable, and productive. And we have made no secret about looking for a slot receiver. He has recently stated that he wants to play another year. Do you think Getts will/should go after him?

We love to have Walter Payton Men of the Year on our roster....  Peanut Tillman was such an amazing fit with our team and such a HUGE ASSET even for only 1 season.

So, I could possibly see it.  Dave seems to be in the mood to acquire proven vets this season.  Who knows!

And now for your annual Anquan Boldin free agency thread 

The difference being that in past seasons we wanted "to give the young guys a shot," and this year we are shamelessly putting veterans into position to play a ton of snaps ahead of other guys.

Yeah that's happening because of poor drafting.

Can't see it happeneing...

KB/Funch/Johnson/Shepard/Byrd/Bersin 

Are essentially the top 6, and I'm not saying 2 of the bottom three couldn't be cut, but when you rationalize we're drafting at least one receiver maybe two, I don't think there's room for another slow receiver. 

If anything it's Cruz if we go the veteran receiver route. Byrd at least still has PS eligibility, and Bersin seems to live there. So there's still a lot that could change there...

with all the other veteran signings, it wouldn't be too far fetched. 

also, I think DG realizes the window to win a SB is wide open now, so veterans who can come in and contribute immediately is what he's looking for 

We all know that Dave has said he doesn't believe in Super Bowl windows, and yet he's proving otherwise with his actions in free agency this year.  Kind of like trying to do a Denver part 2.  Lose, restock with great talent and win 2 years later...

I kind of wonder if Dave has suddenly thought of SB windows in a new way.  It might not be about any kind of window in terms of overall team talent and potential, but in terms of JERRY RICHARDSON, and some of our best most amazingly loyal team veterans (TD, CJ, Greg...) the clock IS ticking and the window is closing.  So, maybe he now acknowledges a window in this sense.  

It's exciting to do something different.  Hoping it proves the magic formula for 2017!

    • lol, that second part is quite literally one of the dumbest things ever. Having or not having guaranteed contracts has absolutely nothing to do with how much these billionaires have to pay.  Because there is a hard cap and a minimum cap spend requirement, and teams either use their cap or roll it over to use it all the next year, so the owners have to pay the same amount of money in the end no matter what. Having fully guaranteed contracts in the NFL would only hurt salary cap management, and thus would end up screwing over the team and its fan base when teams kiss on signings as they take up cap room that is needed to improve the roster. Look at the Browns with Watson, they gave him the fully guaranteed deal and all it’s doing is sucking up massive cap space now.  If they hadn’t done that, the owner would still be paying the same amount of money each year as that cap space would still be used elsewhere. If you want to argue for fully guaranteed contracts because the players deserve it, that’s an entirely different argument and a fair one to discuss.  But anyone against fully guaranteed deals isn’t doing it to argue for the billionaire owners.

    • Ryabkin could be the steal of the draft, he was a Top 10 pick heading into last season and had a rough year.  Lots of GMs passed on him because of that and his workouts. Pick has really high upside and Svech should be able to translate Rod tearing his arse a new one for making dumb plays since Svech has had several years of it.  🤣😂
