I don't blame him. The Bills are garbage. If I was him I would retire over play for the Bills too. He knows he ain't going to get any receptions with the Bills' ****ty running back that's playing quarterback.

What money odds are on for him coming back mid season to a team with a better disposition needing a WR?
Lou Saban: You can get it done, you can get it done. And what’s more, you’ve gotta get it done.
Players can't retire and then unretire the same season to play for another team unless the player is released from his contract. We might get a draft pick out of that scenario, though. :)
Pure Speculation:
Kevon Seymour and a 5th for Philip Dorsett announced tomorrow.
HAHAHAHA
Jumped right off the tanktanic
So our #1 WR is now either Matthews, who may not see a snap all preseason, or Jones, a rookie.
Tank on!
COMING SOON...

Doubt it. His statement :
Sounds to me like he realized he wasn't doing well and tried to take the moral high road off into the sunset focused on his next chosen pursuit."Football in its purest form is what we all strive for as a nation. People from all different races, religions and backgrounds working together for one shared goal. The core values taught in football are some of the most important you can learn in life. To always be there for the guy next to you and not let your fellow man down. You do whatever it takes to make sure your brother is OK.
"Football has afforded me a platform throughout my career to have a greater impact on my humanitarian work. At this time, I feel drawn to make the larger fight for human rights a priority. My life's purpose is bigger than football."

It wouldn't surprise me if he asked the Bills his chances of making the team and they told him "not good."

Here's the stat line for the one actual game he played in, 3 targets and his one 5 yard catch made him bigger than everyone else on the stat line. Haha.
Dude, he wasn't engaged at all or even making this team. This isn't the old Bills management where we'd keep people hanging around for no reason, he was told after the game last week it's cut or retire (his choice). They delayed it (he's been no cost at all) to make it look like it's his idea (classy move). They "he found a higher passion" or a "calling of god" is such a bunch of BS it's unbelievable people still buy that. This isn't 1997 when he loses a few hundred thousand $'s, he's missing millions.
Goodluck to your higher calling, we were the last check you might of seen if you could play. You couldn't anymore and your last resort didn't work out (Bills figured why not take a flyer ?). Bills read the material and put the flyer down. Would we currently be any 38 year old WR first choice, everything being equal ??
No money here Boldin, take care.
P.S. The look at Boldin was zero risk, zero cost.

You want to compare that to Zay Jones stat line from his first game? We don't judge players based on a single game.
This is pure speculation, though you'll claim some inside info.Dude, he wasn't engaged at all or even making this team...They delayed it (he's been no cost at all) to make it look like it's his idea (classy move).
Yea, why would the guy who was named the NFL's 2015 Walter Payton Man of the Year and is well-known for his charity and humanitarian work suddenly find a higher passion? It's not like he has a long history of being involved with giving and charitable work.They "he found a higher passion" or a "calling of god" is such a bunch of BS it's unbelievable people still buy that. This isn't 1997 when he loses a few hundred thousand $'s, he's missing millions.
This response speaks a lot to your character.Goodluck to your higher calling, we were the last check you might of seen if you could play. No money here Boldin, take care.
And before Mitch response with more nonsense about Boldin's "finding of a higher passion", here is more about his charitable work from NFL.com upon him being named Man of the Year for 2015.
I don't know about you guys, but giving out 4,000 meals, pledging $1 million dollars, and awarding $520,000 in scholarships sure sounds like a guy who clearly just found his inner humanitarian.Boldin established the Anquan Boldin (Q81) Foundation in 2004 with the mission to expand the educational and life opportunities of underprivileged children, and has since has held charitable events in Phoenix, Baltimore, South Florida and the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2014, he and his wife Dionne announced a $1 million pledge to escalate the impact of the Foundation.
The Anquan Boldin Foundation offers numerous programs, including a summer enrichment program, Thanksgiving food drives, which offers 300 meals annually in addition to holiday shopping sprees. Last fall, the Foundation awarded $10,000 academic scholarships to five students entering college. Since the Foundation's inception, it has awarded 13 four-year scholarships through the "Q81" Foundation Scholarship Fund.
To suggest that his decision to choose his charity work over football, had anything to do with his current talent level is both insulting and ignorant.

I don't see anybody at the bottom of the position group that is likely to turn into a contributor at this time or in the future that would be worth keeping around for a season more than an experienced, productive, professional veteran. Leadership can't be measured like statistics but it is a factor that can be just as important, maybe moreso on a few specific individual cases.
