The Panthers signed free agent safely Tre Boston to a one-year, $3 million deal, ESPN's Adam Schefter reported. Boston spent his first three NFL seasons with Carolina before playing with the Chargers in 2017 and Cardinals in 2018. He had a combined five interceptions the last two seasons after having only three at Carolina. The signing came on a day when the Panthers began using Rashaan Gaulden as a big nickel. There had been hope Gaulden would win the starting job. Boston has started 72 games since being selected in the fourth round in 2014.

Sounded like Gaulden had a great day at nickel yesterday.  I’m curious if this signing signals that the coaching staff sees him as a more of a fit there.

If you told me two years ago that we would have Tre Boston and Eric Reid at safety I would be ecstatic. 

If you told me three minutes ago that we would have Tree Boston and Eric Reid at safety I would be ecstatic.

      This is about getting open and YAC....and the QB we have.  You basically are just highlighting average depth when targeted vs 2 players. .  And yeah, I often say AT is a small slow reliable TE in terms of what he does for us.   That's what he is.   I think a couple of you want to make this into a Renfrow argument.   I'm a Renfrow fan.  Renfrow does not check the box of what a BY O needs either at the slot.  Renfrow just a niche roleplayer at this level.  it's easy to look up how horrific AT is with the ball in his hands and in terms of getting open.....and it's also easy to look up what a low ceiling of an offense the steady AT diet produces w/ BY.

      The one time he's actively tried to lose was the best we've ever done.

      I simply acknowledge BY is the QB.  And just like we did when we drafted him.....the type O you would need to setup around him for success was always pretty simple.  But we have done virtually the opposite.  XL dropping some passes isn't why we were ranked the 32nd O and 30th passing the past 2 years.  *Ricky Prohel was brought up only in regards to role function he served on the team.  Niche/specialist.   He wasn't eating up the snaps in the O.    AT should have a similar snap %. People could MAUL Ricky Prohel and put hands all over him.   We got to the Super Bowl in part because we were mauling guys (our slot CB).   You can't do that now.  AT has a MUCH easier life and still can't get open.  Or run.    If you live in 3 WR sets, with a weak armed QB, and you choose to put someone who can't get open or run in the slot.......well, your are going to have a weak pass O.  That's by design IMO.
