Edit: Boldin re-signs with San Fran, 2 yr / $12 mil, $9 gtd

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... -24-hours/

He announced it himself on twitter as well. Reports are that its a 2 year deal. I was really hoping he might somehow wind up out of the NFC West again. Obvious move for the 49ers though.

I'm fine with it. He'll start to go downhill at some point, and he hasn't caused us problems.

One of the leagues premier punk ass bitches on the leagues premier punk ass bitch team. Perfect match.

Already did.

2 years, 12 mil, 9 guaranteed.

@49ers fans, I wanted to be the first to tell you I’m returning to San Francisco - http://www.q81.org/thereturntothebay/ … pic.twitter.com/SgOtlLPTH7

Good for them and him. He looked good in the NFCCG.

And good for the Hawks. At his age any deal has the potential to go badly. Everybody wins.

I wonder how this will compare to or affect Tate's contract. Boldin is a solid #2 getting 6/year. I think we can expect Tate to get around the same per year.

True...

...but the nice things are that 1) He was never that fast to begin with, 2) Its only a 2 year deal.

Kinda surprised tho on the 9 mil guaranteed.

I have little doubt he is going to be the same slow as he always was. I am referring to the increased risk of injury as players age. It is what it is.
I also think that the type of routes the Niners run, lots of rubs and drags, favor those slower runners, especially vs zone. He fits the Roman O to to a T.

It would be nice if we could figure out something with one of our guys before free agency.

Yeah, but they still need a WR with speed. Pretty sure they'll be drafting one.

Nine million guaranteed seems rather expensive, considering his age. I'd say they overpaid for him to an extent; but then, so did Philly with Racist Riley.

Yeah, the 12 was just about what I expected. The 9 was a surprise.

Nice payday for Anquan with such a high percentage guaranteed. He should be able to give them 2 more quality years unfortunately.

OK...this makes more sense.

Looks like the 49ers protected themselves against injury.

http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/20 ... year-deal/

"Per a league source, Boldin’s two-year deal is worth $12 million. Of that amount, $5.5 million is guaranteed on signing, via a fully-guaranteed minimum base salary of $955,000 and a signing bonus of $4.545 million.

Boldin also has $500,000 in per-game roster bonuses in 2014. If he’s available for every game of the regular season, he’ll make the full $6 million.

Another $3 million in 2015 base salary is guaranteed for injury only until April 1 of 2015. At that point, it becomes fully guaranteed."

Miners are famous for per game roster bonus deals.

Edit. Miners.

That and de-escalators.

Trying to figure out that cap hit tho this year.

Good player but 9million is a lot to guarantee for someone his age, we'll see

Read the above...not really guaranteed. Only 5.5 this year is truly guaranteed. If they release him before next year then 3 mill is no longer guaranteed.

RT @ProFootballTalk Details on WR Anquan Boldin's 2-year deal http://wp.me/p14QSB-9qkW > Looks like he'll count $3.7275M vs. cap in '14.

Not bad.

Have to believe the Niners will look to add a speedy complement to their two possession receivers. I don't think Quinton Patton is that guy.

With the wealth of picks they have to move up, could see them making a play for a Brandin Cooks. (Or god forbid, Mike Evans or Sammy Watkins)
