DEAL: S TRE BOSTON (3 YRS – $8M AVG/YR)

$12m guaranteed, $24m total

What is the deal with Boston not getting paid? Over the last three seasons, he ranks second in coverage grade among safeties and has played the fifth-most snaps of any safety in the NFL. Boston's 27 combined pass breakups and interceptions over those three seasons are fewer than only Kevin Byard, yet, the guy's last three contracts after his rookie deal have been three straight one-year deals, each worth less than $2.5 million. It just doesn't add up.

He has shown the coverage ability and instincts — like on the play above — to be a high-level player at one of the league's most important positions, but he hasn't been able to lock down a long-term deal at a reasonable salary to this point. Even three years, $24 million seems like a steal for opposing teams needing a free safety. Get this man the money he deserves, NFL.

I feel like on one hand this article should be a light bulb for PFF to revaluate their grading system in light of it's obvious disconnect with how it values Boston vs NFL teams willingness to pay him, but then there's a thorn in the side of that view. They point out something that has nothing to do with their grade. No matter what you think of PFF or even Boston, objectively speaking for the guy who has the second most combined INT's and pass breakups over the last 3 seasons to be unable to secure any kind of market rate multi year deal is weird, especially since Boston has no off field issues and I think is generally regarded as a locker room positive.

Before reading this post I neither liked nor disliked Boston. Considered him serviceable and to have improved since his early years with us. Is there some huge weakness in his game that PFF is overlooking? Because they kind of seem to have a point on the face of it.

The overall safety market has been a little depressed during the last 2-3 years, I think that has a lot to do with it. Other than that, there is obviously something that is keeping him as a journeyman and not locked down to a longer term contract.

This is true and we don't know what the real numbers will come in at but Boston is a good free safety and those don't grow on trees.  Wouldn’t over pay but would pay his worth for his services.

Good point about the safety market, they are kinda dime a dozen. Still, as someone who has neither strong opinions one way or the other about him, I do admit it's kind of weird he can't seem to earn any kind of decent deal. Given his stats, he should at least be able to get himself a multi year contract and a little stability even if it's not anything bank breaking, I would think. Makes me wonder if there's something behind the scenes, cause it's not just the Panthers, there's 32 teams yawning at Tre Boston.

      Panthers 2026 schedule

      By Soul Rebel · Posted

      In May of 2026, it looks like a challenging schedule...and it probably is.  I rarely listen to the "strength of schedule" conversations that light up social media this time of year. Each year teams improve and decline. I think there's chunks of the year we need to take care of business and the week 5 bye is not desired.  I do think if we don't hit the bye week at 3-1, it's going to be a major uphill battle given the schedule in front of us. This season falls on three people, regardless of schedule strength: Canales, Bryce, Evero.  Canales: Finally can truly coach all aspects of the team and not focus with gameday prep for OC duties anymore. He drives the bus and needs to get these guys in position to win each week. There's no way vets come in and put it on the line every week to watch our QB sh!t the bed (See: SF game last year). Bryce: Despite everyone's obsession with thinking Bryce is a guaranteed extension, I think this year will truly be his "prove it" year. If he comes out the way he has the past three years, I really don't see how vets and coaches can continue to put him under center long-term. He might play out that fifth year as the starter, but I think next offseason his long-term replacement is found. I also think there's no excuses with the weapons and commitment we've made on offense to insulate him with every possible weapon.  Evero: Best personnel he's had since he's been here...no excuses. Figure out how to blitz effectively. Figure out how to use CBs whose strengths are press/man. Figure out how to utilize a talented front-7 to get the hell of the field. Outside of FS and maybe....maybe ILB, there are few weaknesses on this unit.

      Canales can never get his teams ready in the first week of the season so far. Hope that changes or Ben Johnson is going to take his azz to school.
