Panthers Save $3.5 Million In Cap With Tre Boston Release Official Today

Panthers general manager Scott Fitterer has had an impressive first offseason. He got high marks for both his work in free agency and during the 2021 NFL draft, and rightfully so. However, no executive is perfect and he has made a couple of questionable moves, as well.
 
The biggest to follow in the coming years will be whether or not it was the right call to pass on Justin Fields in the draft – regardless of how well Jaycee Horn plays corner. On a far smaller scale, Fitterer’s decision to cut free safety Tre Boston a couple months ago was also iffy.
 
That move becomes official today (June 1), which will save the team roughly $3.5 million in salary cap space for 2021.
 
While it’s nice to get that extra chunk of change, the price of forfeiting the best (and only) true free safety on the roster just wasn’t worth it.
 
Even with a gaping hole at this critical position, it’s gone pretty much entirely unaddressed this offseason until very recently. After ignoring a deep market of veterans, the Panthers completely passed on what was considered a strong class of safeties in the draft, leading to questions about who will replace Boston in the starting lineup.
 
At the moment, our best wild guess is that it will be Lano Hill, who signed a couple weeks ago after playing the first few years of his career in Seattle. The Seahawks picked him in the third round of the 2017 NFL draft but he never saw much playing time. Hill started just six of 42 games and saw his snap count shrink every year. Worse, injuries have cost him 18 games over the last two seasons. Hill should be considered unproven as far as potentially taking over Boston’s former role.
 
Other options on the roster include Juston Burris and Jeremy Chinn, neither of whom are particularly well-suited to play the centerfield spot in what’s been a heavy cover 3 scheme from defensive coordinator Phil Snow so far.
 
For what it’s worth, Earl Thomas is still out there.

I thought the Panthers made a wise decision to release Boston after he had a down season by his previous standards, particularly struggling in coverage on the back end of the defense.

Boston had allowed a career-high 69.2 reception percent for 319 yards and three TDs, per Pro Football Focus.

I think the idea was saving his entire contract and eating money this year. Course, I don’t know what the savings/guaranteed money was but he still had two years left. While he did well in 2019, 2020 was pretty bad. Maybe Rhule/Snow didn’t see him as a fit for what they wanted to do and wanted to save as much as possible on his 3 year deal.

I don’t think we lost much by cutting him, but it is a legitimate question as to who will be replacing him. But the bar isn’t that high from his performance last year so and he is still a FA.

It was a dumb move to give him that contract to start with. Nobody around the league wanted this guy on anything more than a 1 year deal, but Hurney decided he deserved a multi year extension. 

Good riddance.

Cutting Boston loose was not an iffy move. He was a liability that we were paying too much for.

And all the comparisons between Fields and Horn or Fields and Darnold are silly. If you are going to compare him to either, compare him to both, because that's essentially what the choice was...Darnold + Horn or Fields.

      Goodbye chain gang?

      I don't think so. I think once you're measuring electronically, the spot is where the sensor says it is. So if it says half yard short of the line to gain, that's the spot. Now how that works with scrums and the ball moving on two minute drills and poo is anybody's guess.
