He'll only play like 20%-ish of the snaps at most even if he's healthy the whole time. If MJ or Dunlap get hurt, we're still screwed because Freeney can't play 4 or even 3 downs.
Boldin would rock it as a slot receiver, would be a damn good mentor, and if there's an injury he could still step it up and take on a bigger role. Would also provide Dalton with a reliable 3rd down target. Becomes a bigger need with the Eifert surgery. (I had kind of dropped the Boldin talk until that news dropped.)
True on Freeney, but he would upgrade the most important part of the defense - getting off the field on 3rd down. Freeney, MJ, Dunlap, Geno would be able to put pressure on any QB.
As for Boldin, I just don't see it anymore. I don't think he would be a contributor at this point in his career.
