He will give you 110 % effort on every play.

Hope he signs with the Black and Gold.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Me too. He's a better version of Colston to me. If you throw it up he goes to get it, and he's strong af.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I'm usually not a fan of signing old WR's, but this might be the one guy in the game right now, at his age, who I'd take. If they were offering him ridiculous money to be a #1 or 2, I'd hate it, but as a 3 or 4 he can be very effective. He still gets open and has always had good hands.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

This dude is as tough as they come. I remember he got his face broken and played soon after.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

like him for a year

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I'm all for it

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I remember that, broke his cheek bones on an enormous defensive hit and played 2 weeks later.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

He reminds me of a bigger version of steve smith. Sign him up!

I'm for it not only for the fact that he is a quality player and leader, but it might force the Brees extension to be finalized first.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

The guy has got vise grips for hands, he hardly ever gets a ball stripped out of his hands.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

*ahem*

;)

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Been dreaming of this for years. even now. I am not a huge fan of old vets but he is an exception. solid veteran that will step up during key moments. roll the dice and go for it.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

sign that guy right now . . . #BALLER . . ..

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Sign him, then Brees will sign.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Need some vet leadership. Do it. No leaders on our receiving corps. We can upgrade Colston and give those guys someone to lean on.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

You sign that man!

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

The guy gives maximum effort on run-blocking and has great hands. Would be a nice signing.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

One year at a time. We all know Boldin is not scared to go over the middle or anywhere to catch a ball. I agree he will give 110%

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I agree, instant target for Drew.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I'm not against this signing, but I just wonder what that means for the young receivers who'll need all the snaps they can get in order to develop?!

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

It's likely Anquan will play roughly the same amount of snaps that Colston did last season, and whilst Colston took snaps we still saw Cooks have his best season, Snead fall 40 yards shy of 1000 and coleman start making strides.

Now Coleman is the odd man out in my opinion, First 4 WR's in terms of snap count for me is - Cooks, Anquan/Snead, Then Michael Thomas.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

And you really need to have depth at that position, since even one semi-serious injury will change the line-up they have at the moment drastically.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Coleman is in for a fight to crack the 53 roster even if we don't sign Boldin. He doesn't offer anything other than being a WR. No special teams work, can't be a gunner or returner & probably won't be used as a blocker.

Unless Brandon ties it all together at training camp & can produce consistently & make a profound impact, there are always other options for that roster spot.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

We need a vet at the WR position... I think he would help out our young WRs go for it ! who Dat

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I like it! How long should we sign him for?

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Wow, excellent hands, tough as nails, might have a year or 2 left, and IIRC he's a locker room enforcer type too.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Cooks, Sneed, M.Thomas, Boldin & Fleener! If Cj Spiller gets right, this could be a dangerous receiving core.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Isn't that how they sold us Browner last off-season?!

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Wow, it appears Ian is still stirring the pot and providing inaccurate info on the Saints? Incredible :rolleyes:.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

True, but I wouldn't judge every strong locker room player by the Browner disaster.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

100% THE REAL REASON WE WANT TO SIGN HIM!

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

This sucks.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I'm curious, has Rappawhore ever been right on a breaking story?

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

Boldin will eventually sign somewhere.

I'm willing to bet those odds are still with the Black and Gold.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I'd don't even think Rappaport has a source in New Orleans :pissed:.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I think maybe the FO knows volume matters after all.

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

For every Browner their is a Sharper....
At least an on the field Sharper

Re: Saints Making Push to Sign Anquan Boldin
 

I'd venture a guess that the odds of finding another Browner are much higher than finding another Sharper... the odds can't be even.
