Lands another deal with Denver

The Broncos signed Bolden to a reserve/future contract Monday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Bolden opened the 2022 campaign on Arizona's practice squad IR with a hamstring injury before reaching an injury settlement Sept. 20. The 27-year-old wideout then went unsigned until joining the Broncos' practice squad Nov. 15, and he'll now stick with the team heading into this offseason. Bolden last played during the 2018 season, recording one reception in six games split between San Francisco and Buffalo.

Heading to Denver's practice squad

The Broncos signed Bolden to their practice squad Tuesday, Aric DiLalla of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Though Bolden hasn't played in an NFL game since 2018, he'll now serve as an emergency depth option for the Broncos. The 27-year-old has appeared in 15 career games and has also operated as a punt returner and kick returner in that span.

Works out with Giants

Bolden (undisclosed) received a workout with the Giants on Tuesday, Tom Pelissero of NFL Network reports.

Analysis: Bolden was waived from the Cardinals' practice injured list Sept. 20. It appears he's healthy now and ready to earn an opportunity with another franchise. The Giants are currently dealing with multiple injuries to their wide receiver corps, with David Sills, Richie James and Darius Slayton as their only receivers without an injury designation.

Lands on practice squad IR

The Cardinals placed Bolden (undisclosed) on the practice squad injured list Wednesday, Josh Weinfuss of ESPN.com reports.

Analysis: With the move, Bolden will be ineligible for elevation until at least Week 6. In a corresponding move, Arizona signed Jeff Cotton and JaVonta Payton to its practice squad.

Signs practice squad deal

The Cardinals signed Bolden to their practice squad Wednesday, Bob McManaman of The Arizona Republic reports.

Analysis: Bolden failed to make the Cardinals' initial 53-man roster, but he returns to the team via a practice squad deal. The 27-year-old wideout hasn't logged regular-season NFL action since appearing in six games in 2018.

Let go by Cardinals

Arizona waived Bolden on Tuesday, Darren Urban of the team's official site reports.

Analysis: Bolden hasn't logged regular-season NFL action since appearing in six games between the Bills and 49ers back in 2018. He will likely now turn his attention toward earning a practice squad role.

Waived by Lions

Bolden was waived by Detroit on Monday, Tim Twentyman of the Lions' official site reports.

Analysis: As Tom Kennedy separated himself from Detroit's slew of depth receivers, Bolden had a number of miscues in preseason games that likely diminished his odds of making the team. There's a chance he could find his way to the Lions' practice squad, though.

Making case for roster spot

Bolden has begun making a convincing case for a roster spot, Dave Birkett of the Detroit Free Press reports.

Analysis: Largely a practice-squad player since going undrafted in 2017, Bolden has one reception to his name as a pro. Fortunately for his chances of actually landing a roster spot, Detroit arguably has the worst receiving corps in the league, not to mention a vacancy at both punt and kick returner after Jamal Agnew signed a hefty contract with Jacksonville.. There probably isn't a better place for an unestablished wideout like Bolden to make a name for himself, especially since Bolden already has experience returning kickoffs for the 49ers and Bills.

Lands future pact

Bolden signed a reserve/future contract with the Lions on Tuesday.

Analysis: Bolden has been on the Lions' practice squad since October, but he was never elevated for a game. The 25-year-old wideout has just 15 NFL games on his resume, but he hasn't played since 2018.

Jan 5, 2021 1:49 PM EST


Secures practice squad deal

The Lions signed Bolden to the practice squad Tuesday.

Analysis: Bolden spent training camp with the Lions but was cut from the practice squad in early September. The 25-year-old wide receiver banked 15 NFL games over his first three seasons and mainly contributed as a kick returner.

Departs practice squad

The Lions cut Bolden from the practice squad Wednesday.

Analysis: Bolden briefly linked with the Lions' practice squad after having been cut amid roster trims, but he'll now need to look for a chance with another organization. The return man hasn't seen regular-season action since 2018, when he appeared in two games with Buffalo and four games with the 49ers.

Sep 9, 2020 3:49 PM EST


Staying with Lions

Bolden inked a reserve/future contract with Detroit on Monday.

Analysis: The 24-year-old offers more in the return game than on offense, as he's accumulated 512 kick return yards the past two seasons. Bolden failed to see action in the NFL for the 2019 campaign.

Dec 30, 2019 3:58 PM EST


Gets look with Texans

Bolden worked out with the Texans on Tuesday, Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reports.

Analysis: Bolden offers more as a return man than he does as a wide receiver. The Texans current kick returner -- DeAndre Carter -- has averaged 20.73 yards per return, ranking 23rd in the league among players with 10 or more attempts.

Can't sneak a spot

Bolden was cut by Buffalo on Saturday, Chris Brown of the Bills' official site reports.

Analysis: The speedster never even snuck into that final roster bubble zone even though he saw action with the Bills in 2018. Perhaps another squad will be more interested in his return ability, as he doesn't offer much as a full-time wide receiver.

Aug 31, 2019 2:21 PM EST


Flashes speed, minimal results

Bolden, picked up by the Bills after being waived by the 49ers during the season, only saw three offensive snaps for the team in two games but was given some opportunity in the return game, bringing back five kickoffs for 116 yards (23.2 average).

Analysis: The Bills fired special teams coach Danny Crossman immediately after the season, so Bolden will probably have to start fresh and audition for a new coach. If he couldn't crack the offense with a weak corps of wide receivers, that's not probably going to happen in 2019 with the team expected to stock up on the position this offseason. His best bet will be to try and win a main return job.

Sees immediate action

Bolden, signed off the 49ers' practice squad last week, received three kickoff returns for 72 yards in Sunday's loss to the Patriots.

Analysis: The Bills have been less than thrilled with their returners this season, and with Isaiah McKenzie -- one of the few guys that's showed some spark -- having a bigger role in the offense, they want to give Bolden a look for next season, at least in the return game. He only saw action on five special teams plays in the loss (and none on offense), but could serve as the main kickoff return man again while McKenzie fields punts in the finale.

Signed by Buffalo

Bolden was signed by the Bills on Tuesday, Matthew Fairburn of The Athletic reports.

Analysis: Bolden appeared in four games with the 49ers earlier this season before being demoted to the practice squad, but he'll have another chance at regular season action as a member of the Bills for their final two contests. Unfortunately for Bolden, there are plenty of other healthy options at receiver in Buffalo behind Zay Jones, Robert Foster and Isaiah McKenzie.

Signs with 49ers' practice squad

The 49ers signed Bolden to their practice squad Thursday.

Analysis: Bolden was waived by the 49ers earlier this week, and ultimately rejoins the team as a member of the practice squad. The 23-year-old logged one reception for 10 yards during four games with San Francisco this season, and will now work to earn another shot at a depth role with the 49ers.

Nov 1, 2018 2:16 PM EST


Let go by 49ers

Bolden was waived by the 49ers on Tuesday, according to the team's official site.

Analysis: The second-year receiver out of Oregon St. appeared in four games with San Francisco this season, catching one pass for 10 yards. Bolden will look to join another team in search of receiver/kick returner depth.
