Two quick points. First is the Saints already signed a veteran wide receiver. That would be one Ted Ginn.

Second last year should have proved that the need for a veteran wide receiver is completely unnecessary. Cooks, Snead, Thomas, and Coleman combined for over 2500 yards and 25 TDs last season without this seemingly needed veteran leadership that is called for each offseason.

I really don't understand...

Ginn and Boldin are very different. Ginn is a speed threat and special teams weapon. Boldin is a physical possession receiver who is an accomplished blocker.

I'm not saying Boldin should play a major role but he would be a nice situational player. Our receiving corps could use a more physical presence, especially if we are serious about cranking up the running game with AP/MI. I'm not saying Boldin is Hines Ward, but indeed he is the closest thing out there in free agency.

Is it the end of the world if he doesn't sign? No. But he could help us get better in areas we need to get better at.
