Buffalo Bills general manager Brandon Beane said the organization won't release its rights on retired wide receiver Anquan Boldin, which could allow him to sign with an AFC East rival.
Mike Rodak of ESPN.com passed along comments the Bills GM made on SiriusXM NFL Radio after failing to move Boldin before Tuesday's trade deadline.
"We made a commitment to Anquan, and he made a commitment to us back in [training] camp," Beane said. "He left for the reasons he mentioned back in August. We invested in him—invested time and committed to him—and we wouldn't want to just put him out on the market to see him go sign with the [New England] Patriots or the [Miami] Dolphins or anybody that can get in our way or work against us.
