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.

      Their use of the phrase questionable QB situation fits perfectly. He is stuck, for the moment at least, in a situation with Bryce that he can't really get out of. There have been improvements for Young, but he hasn't been a world changer. He had horrible coaching first year and was saddled with a broken down remnant of what had been an afterthought team anyway. There's one year left to keep him on the cheap with the idea that if he cranks out a great season, we've got first dibs on him for the next. If he tanks out, then off to free agency Young goes to either a QB whisperer-type situation or becomes a fairly battle tested back up QB. And we get something to add into our compensatory picks formulation. This is a make or break year for Young, but not for Morgan or Canales.

      If they lose the ECF in wimpy fashion, like anything less than a Game 7, its time to can Rod.

      Do you people really give no credence to the fact that Carolina’s went almost two weeks between games while Montreal played an intense seven game series that just ended Monday? That break was too much to be ready to go, and it showed.   The Canes pressed in the first, likely from overzealousness to prove the layoff wasn’t too much. once the Canes settled into their game without pressing, the game was much tighter. Every year, posts in the Panthers forum question how little the starters play in the preseason? Why is that? Because we all know not going at game speed against an opponent can lead to a slow start when the games turn real. Even with prior ECF disappointments, I’m going to hope last night was more akin to starters not playing in the preseason.
