Boldin signed a free-agent contract in Buffalo about two weeks ago, and it didn’t take long for the Bills to trade away Sammy Watkins afterwards.
The savvy veteran caught just one pass for five yards on three targets Thursday night against the Philadelphia Eagles.
Boldin shared a statement with Jim Trotter about his reason for retiring.
