Detroit Lions officially sign WR Anquan Boldin, add LB Dominique Tovell

Veteran wide receiver Anquan Boldin officially signed with Detroit, reuniting the 35-year-old with Lions coach Jim Caldwell, who was Boldin's offensive coordinator with the Baltimore Ravens.

Terms were not disclosed, but Boldin reportedly signed a one-year deal.

The team also signed linebacker Dominique Tovell while releasing wide receiver Damian Copeland and linebacker Jerry Franklin.

Entering his 14th NFL season, Boldin adds depth to a Lions receiving corps working to fill the void left by the retirement of Calvin Johnson. Golden Tate and free agent signee Marvin Jones are slated to be the starters, with Boldin and former New York Jet Jeremy Kerley adding veteran depth.

Boldin had 69 receptions for 789 yards and four touchdowns with San Francisco last season. He has recorded 1,009 catches for 13,195 yards and 74 touchdowns since being selected by Arizona in the second round of the 2003 NFL Draft.

Tovell originally signed with New Orleans in May as an undrafted rookie out of Louisiana-Lafayette, but he was waived when the team signed veteran Roman Harper last month.
