Report: Lions sign WR Anquan Boldin to one-year deal

Anquan Boldin joins the Detroit Lions after leading the San Francisco 49ers in receiving yards in 2015.

The Detroit Lions have signed wide receiver Anquan Boldin to a one-year deal worth $2.75 million plus incentives, according to NFL Media's Ian Rapoport.

Boldin received a $750,000 signing bonus. The Eagles and Giants were also reportedly interested in Boldin.

Boldin was the San Francisco 49ers’ leading receiver last season as he collected 69 catches for 789 yards with four touchdowns.

After the retirement of Calvin Johnson, the Lions will head into the 2016 season with Boldin, Marvin Jones, T.J. Jones, Jeremy Kerley and Golden Tate at the receiver position. 

Boldin hinted at the deal earlier in the week:

This coming season, I am excited  to announce that I have chosen to play for the @Lions and reunite with Coach Caldwell for another run.

The @Lions are a great young team that I hope I can help lead back to the playoffs with a goal of a championship for my new fans in Detroit.
