Veteran safety Tre Boston has agreed to a three-year, $18 million deal to stay with the Carolina Panthers, according to his agent, Drew Rosenhaus. Boston will receive $9.5 million in the first year of the deal, one that came much earlier than those in previous offseasons.
It’s a big payday for Boston, whose previous one-year stop in Arizona landed him just $3 million in compensation. The increase in pay is well-deserved for a player as underrated as Boston, who ranked No. 65 on PFT’s list of the top-100 free agents in 2020.
Boston took to Twitter on Tuesday night to express his excitement about the new deal, and gratitude for the opportunity to remain with the organization for the foreseeable future.
