ESPN’s Adam Schefter reports that the 49ers are closing in on a deal with free agent WR Anquan Boldin.
- Schefter adds that the deal is “expected to get done.“
San Francisco has said that they view Boldin as one of their offseason priorities, and all indications have been that they wanted to get this deal done sooner than later.
Getting Boldin out of the way would allow San Francisco to focus on an extension quarterback Colin Kaepernick and possibly some of their other free agents like S Donte Whitner.
Boldin, 33, is coming off of another productive season in which he totaled 85 receptions for 1,179 yards receiving and seven touchdowns. Pro Football Focus rated him as the No. 8 receiver in the league last season.
We have Boldin listed as the No. 50 player in our Top 50 Free Agents list.
