Boldin Or Freeney?

I think it all depends on what you're looking for. I think Freeney offers the more immediate impact. I think he could do well with the talent around him as a pass rush specialist. If he came in and added 8 sacks to the defense like he did in Arizona last year, this defense may have the potential to be #1.

If you're looking for a more long term impact, I think Boldin is the guy. I think he could mentor Green and the rest of the receivers and teach them a few things. That could be something that could be felt over multiple seasons. I'm excited to see what Boyd can do, but a season behind Green, LaFell, and Boldin would be a great thing for him. 3 veteran WRs to pick their brains and learn from while having no pressure and learning the playbook sounds like an ideal situation for him.

That makes it a tough call. A superior defense would be great to help make up for any offensive miscues while Eifert is out and Boyd and the rest of the young receivers get up to speed. If the running game isn't performing well, Dalton regresses, whatever the case may be, a truly dominant defense would help with all of that. On the flip side, finally giving Green a quality veteran WR to learn from would be great. Green is obviously a great receiver, but to have a veteran that can further help his progression is worth it's weight in gold.
