Lions wide receiver Anquan Boldin indicated last month that he was planning to return in 2017, which would be his age-37 season, but he sounded much less certain of his status Friday. Boldin is now considering retirement, per Kyle Meinke of MLive.com.
“We’ll see what’s best for us,” Boldin said, referring to himself and his family. “It’s no longer what’s best for Anquan. I’ve got three others that depend on me as well, so we’ll see.”
For the second straight offseason, Boldin is primed to become a free agent, though he’s “definitely interested” in re-signing with the Lions if he continues his career. Boldin didn’t sign with the Lions until last July, and he went on to lead the playoff-bound club in touchdown catches (eight). While he also racked up 67 receptions on 95 targets, the slot receiver averaged a career-low 8.7 yards per catch.
Boldin, who entered the NFL as the Cardinals’ second-round pick in 2003, has played for four teams and amassed 1,076 catches, 13,779 yards and 82 scores in 14 seasons. He ranks ninth, 14th and 23rd all-time, respectively, in those categories and could move up a few more places in each if he comes back in 2017.

Come and sign with the Patriots!
No.
It’s time. He was good at one time. His best years were in BAL. He and Steve Smith Sr can enter the HOF together in 5 years as Ravens.
you insensitive, politically incorrect F@#%
lol um ok? Looks like you’re in a bad mood. Maybe you should come to visit Baltimore because it’s the best city, has the best team, with the best fans. My drama club has a tailgate every week and we compete against a dance group. You couldn’t even hang at our tailgate. That’s how Ravens fans roll.
