Anquan Boldin Has Yet To Speak With 49ers About Possible Return

49ers veteran WR Anquan Boldin said he has yet to speak with the 49ers front office regarding him possibly re-signing with the team.

I haven’t talked to anybody yet,” Boldin said, via Eric Branch of the San Francisco Chronicle. “… I’m not to the point where I feel like I have to deal with that right now. I’ll deal with it when the time comes.”

In addition, Boldin said that he has only spoke briefly with newly hired HC Chip Kelly.

He called me and we had a brief conversation,” Boldin said. “It was more of an introduction … We talked for a little bit and that was that.”

Though Boldin just finished his 13th year in the NFL, the veteran receiver claimed back in November that he is not concerned about his health moving forward.

“For me, it’s an isolated incident,” Boldin said of his hamstring injury, via Cam Inman of the San Jose Mercy News. “I’ve been durable over my career. I haven’t missed a game since (the 2012 regular-season final), and that was because we’d already secured a playoff spot.

It is worth mentioning that the 49ers reportedly considered trading Boldin ahead of the trade deadline, but the 49ers’ asking price was reportedly too high for interested teams.

Boldin, 35, just finished his two-year, $12 million contract that included $5.5 million guaranteed and stands to make a base salary of $5.5 million for the 2015 season.

In 2015, Boldin appeared in 14 games for the 49ers and caught 69 passes for 789 yards receiving and four touchdowns. Pro Football Focus rated him as the No. 33 overall receiver out of 119 qualifying players.
