Free agent wideout Anquan Boldin has spoken with several clubs about a contract and will visit an unidentified team on Sunday, according to Omar Kelly of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel (Twitter link).
Boldin, 36, reportedly may seek to sign with a club that plays closer to his Florida residence, which could rule out a reunion with the Lions (although Detroit is open to re-signing him). Perhaps seeking to avoid the grind of training camp, Boldin is apparently willing to wait for a new deal, and could look to ink a contract later in the offseason.
Signed to a one-year, $2.75MM deal prior to last season, Boldin appeared in all 16 games for the Lions in 2016. On 95 targets, Boldin managed 67 receptions for 584 yards and eight touchdowns. While the yardage total was the lowest of Boldin’s career, his eight scores were the most he’s posted since 2008. Boldin, a three-time Pro Bowler, played on 80% of Detroit’s offensive snaps as the club’s third receiver behind Golden Tate and Marvin Jones.
Last month, PFR ranked Boldin as the best available receiver left on the open market.
Toronto Argonauts?

The Unknown Team has been very active in free agency this offseason as far as talking to players… they just never sign anyone. It must be really tough to be a fan of Unknown.
I can see him going back to where it all started…AZ! Would love it if my 9ers got him back but I think he wants to contend since he is near the end.
