Saints favorites to sign free agent Anquan Boldin - NFL.com

Heard this earlier today. I would be all for it. The experience he would bring to a very young and talented recieving corps alone would be invaluable. I also think with Brees he still has plenty left in the tank and will contribute at a high level.

I hope he would be a leader to the young guys.

I heard that Payton said he was satisfied with his WR's.

Ian Rappaport is a liar & don't believe anything reported from him. He has no Saints source.

What a tool.

Please do not sign him... need to improve the defense still.

The guy is tough as nails. But, if they went the way of a slow vet, I'd bring Colston back. Let the young guys play. Otherwise, we might not know who Snead is.

We Need this guy.

Whatever decline exists in Anquan's ability has not yet seemed to involve dropping passes. Can't say the same for Colston. Otherwise, like you, I'd love to have him back as well as a 3rd or 4th WR / mentor role similar to Hines Ward before he retired.

Sorry to say but Colston isn't that guy anymore... even after he was no longer the #1 wide out his hands went crappy and physically broke down. Boldin is in waaay better physical shape than Colston over he last two seasons. Circle back to last season w/an anemic Kaepernick (sp) and/or Gabbert at QB, Boldin still beat man coverage deep a few times.

Clearly he could help us in some areas that we struggled with (see Brandon Coleman) the most. A bruising, physical, strong & thick WR is something the Saints don't have at the WR roster (maybe our draft pick turns into that guy). Boldin simply answered the punch when teamed up with Flacco and Gabbert ... imagine him with Brees. We need a saavy vet WR in New Orleans.

Colston was GREAT, I mean truly GREAT but it's over.
