PFF: Tre Boston will cost 3 YRS – $8M AVG/YR

Lollers.   Good luck with that tre

[MHS831]

We picked up both of our safeties holding cardboard signs.  They can ask for market value.

For Boston to be worth that, he would have to be a more complete safety.  $5m per is about right, imo.  Marty however, knows that he is being watched.  If he overpays, it does not matter how good his eye is for spotting talent.

A 4th round safety would work just as good and be much cheaper.

I'm good with resigning Tre Boston but I would like a better tackling Safety than Eric Reid.

Before Hurney was brought back he was on the radio talking about the FS spot. Listening to it, you'd think Boston was an All-Pro the way he was hyping him up. I figured he was just talking up the guy because he drafted him but then I was reminded that Gettleman picked Boston.

That said, whenever Marty was brought back, I KNEW it was just a matter of time before Boston was back in Carolina. 

If Hurney has anything to do with it, I can assure you Boston will be back.

Interesting. What I still don't get though is apparently as much as Hurney likes Boston, even he didn't sign him to anything but a piddly one year deal. I think there's a pretty strong consensus on Marty's tendency to overspend in FA, so that just reinforces how weird it is that no one seems willing to pay Boston for anything but barely starter worthy one year deals.

I was stoked about the Panthers signing Reid cause of his rep as a Pro Bowl caliber safety, but I have to admit that while he has his merits, his tackling at times is awful.

3 year 18 million with 12 mill guaranteed would be good for both sides I assume 

[LinvilleGorge]

Everyone always thinks Boston is worth a lot more than what NFL GMs actually think he's worth. Let him go shopping. He'll probably end up signing another short term contract very late in free agency.

That price? Peace.
Terrible angles at ball carriers. Terrible tackling. He is very very good at jumping routes in front of him - exactly like in the GIF. Almost every pick of his where he actually making a play comes from that exact read and reaction. He is adequate otherwise at pass defense. 

what’s really going to happen is that he will test free agency, not get anywhere near that offer, then come back here for much less.

Okay so if I understand you correctly, basically he's building some semi impressive stats off being a one trick pony and is awful at other things, and PFF doesn't seem to be picking up on this. That makes more sense. Thanks for the insight.

We can finally draft a good safety, develop our own talent and we have the college coaching to do it.  

Our draft will look like OT DT Wr OT S DB TE and I would take that.

Well watching him in run support shows very clearly that he isn’t very good. Watching him in the pass game shows that he is adequate, as I said, and excels at  making plays that are in front of him. 

Per Huddle tradition, we get to pick and choose when we listen to what PFF has to say.

I don’t get the math on the contract when there has been no demand for Tre in years past and recent history has shown that safeties not named Landon Collins aren’t getting big or long contracts.
