Detroit brought Boldin in for a workout last month but did not sign him at the time, according to ESPN.
During his career, Boldin has caught 1,009 passes for 13,195 yards and 74 touchdowns.
He is No. 17 all-time in receiving yards, No. 12 in receptions, and tied for No. 33 in receiving touchdowns.
Boldin was a standout athlete at Pahokee, where he played football and basketball and ran track.
He was named Florida’s Mr. Football in 1998, and also was a USA Today first-team selection. Boldin led Pahokee to a 14-1 record as a senior. The Blue Devils were the state runner-up in Class 3A.
