We signed Tre Boston?

[musicman]

Very happy. He was over my house a couple of weeks ago. Fun guy and he's proven the 2 years away he can play (better than he did with the Panthers). We got all the pieces now, let's just win.

This doesnt mean Gaulden is a bust if he's been holding down nickel. But that being said, I'm stoked AF for a legit starter at safety

Eric Reid and Tre Boston is probably one of the more solid safety duos in the NFL right now

The biggest value in signing him that he is a legit FS, and not a conversion project.  He may not be great, but he at least knows what to do back there, and is used to seeing the field that way.  

And I don't think this indicates that Gaulden is a bust in any way.  My guess is that he is a more natural SS than FS.  He played decently closer to the line of scrimmage last year, but it was down the field where he looked lost at times.  So, maybe big nickel and backup SS is where he best fits.

Boston is a 5 year vet and a smart guy. Fewell asked Ron to upgrade safety and move Gaulden to nickel which is his best position. Ron asked Hurney to reach out to Boston, Boston gave us a good deal because he said we were a playoff team missing one piece. So he joined to finish what he started. And here we are.  Everything coming together. Forces aligning. Do you feel it????

Hurney magic.  I feel it.

With Gaulden shelved. How pissed are you the we could have had Ronnie Harrison or traded up for Reid.  

Not at all.  Harrison is firmly a SS who is poor in coverage.  And quite honestly, he wasn't anything to write home about last year either.  IMO, Eric Reid is much better that Harrison will ever be, so I think we came out ahead passing on him.

Now Reid is good, and I like him, but it would have likely cost to much to move up.  And I wonder why he fell.  Either there were some red flags we don't know about, or there were holes in his game that were uncovered as teams did their deep dive on him.  After all, it's not just the Panthers that watched him fall way past the point the so-called analysts said he would.  

But it would have been cool to have an all-Reid safety tandem.

I have no idea how this year will turn out, but on paper alone, this is the best roster we have had under Rivera and arguably the best in team history.

The only reason I was against signing Tre Boston previous is that he was holding out for a crazy price.  For 3 mil, its a great signing.,
