Free agent Boldin to announce first-round pick at NFL Draft

Share

Anquan Boldin is still a free agent. 

Before he finds the team he will play for in 2016, he has some business to attend to on Thursday night in Chicago.

"Excited to be announcing a pick at the NFL Draft tonight. A truly amazing day for everyone and I can't wait to be a part of it. #DraftDay," Boldin tweeted on Thursday afternoon.

It's unclear which pick Boldin has been assigned to.

The 2015 Walter Payton Man of the Year registered 69 catches for 789 yards and four touchdowns for the 49ers last season.

He reportedly visited Washington in late March, but did not agree to a deal.

“Right now, we’ve had no discussions with Anquan up to this point,” 49ers general manager Trent Baalke said in the NFL owners meetings in March. “We left it in the offseason that we’d get back together at some point and talk about his future and what he’s looking for. Have not had that conversation as of yet.

"I wouldn’t say that door has been shut by any stretch. But where it is, it’s where it was when we left off (the season). He’s going to explore his options, and we’re going to explore ours. We got a draft to go through. It would be later than sooner, in terms of the final decision that’s made.”

The 49ers have 12 picks in the draft -- tied with the Browns for most of any team.

Boldin was a Pro Bowler in 2003, 2006 and 2008.
