Brandon Boykin's post-Eagles career in the NFL has been very strange. Many thought he would flourish outside of Philadelphia, but that just hasn't been the case. Despite trading a fifth round pick to get him, the Steelers kept Boykin on the bench for most of the season in 2015. Pittsburgh didn't make much of an effort to re-sign him. He sat on the free agent market for a couple weeks before eventually signing a deal with the Panthers worth only $80,000 guaranteed. Less than two months later, Carolina cut him in order to make room to sign some tryout undrafted rookie free agents.
