The Buffalo Bills released wide receiver Anquan Boldin from the retired list Wednesday, which would make him free to sign with another team should he decide to resume his playing career.
Boldin, 37, retired in August less than two weeks after signing with the Bills during training camp, citing a desire to focus on his humanitarian work.
However, Boldin's agent sent a letter to Bills general manager Brandon Beane in October asking for permission to speak to other teams to discuss a trade. No team traded for Boldin before the NFL's trade deadline, and Beane decided he would not release Boldin's rights.
