Terms of the contract have not been disclosed, but ESPN reported that Boldin agreed to a two-year deal worth $12 million, including $9 million guaranteed.

Boldin also released a statement on his foundation’s website.

“49er fans, I wanted to be the first to tell you that I’m returning to San Francisco,” the statement read. “Looking forward to joining my teammates, coaching staff and fans to bring back another championship to the Bay Area. Let’s go after our Quest For Six.”

Boldin, 33, is coming off a season in which he made 85 receptions for 1,179 yards with seven touchdowns.
