UPDATED: S Tre Boston signs with Cards

[Ronin]

Upgrading secondary apparently on Arizona Cardinals’ agenda
Free agent safety Tre Boston would certainly be an outstanding addition to the defensive backfield of the Arizona Cardinals
It was just a year ago that the Arizona Cardinals were stacked at the safety position. Their impressive depth chart included the likes of Tyrann Mathieu, Antoine Bethea, Tyvon Branch and Budda Baker. Things have failed to remain the same, however.

The release of Mathieu, and the fact that the free agent Branch appears to be unwanted by the team, has the Cards searching for help. Bethea and Baker remain, but the organization’s other safeties are unproven commodities. An upgrade would certainly be warranted.

the interest seems to be mutual. my guess is they just cant hit on a specific deal but are working on it..... structure perhaps. if we sign Boston to a market deal we are out of money...unless we can put off money to next season... I think they really want him but dont want to be out of money right now

I think the objective is as you stated and more importantly having some money in reserve going through a season to allocate funds in case of injuries. I still think with the money available next year, the Cards could come up with a contract which could capitalize on that aspect but this current situation seems to suggest they are only offering a one year deal which is preventing flexibility

yeah...according to sportrac we have 13mil.... which means about 8mil to spend as they generally go into the season with 5 in reserve

if I had to guess, they dont want to give Boston more than 4mil so they have money to play with as camp cuts come available...maybe another corner or a backup olineman...maybe a lber

Free-agent linebacker Mychal Kendricks has agreed to a one-year deal with the Cleveland Browns worth up to $3.5 million, a source confirmed to ESPN's Adam Schefter.

Looks like one of those low dollar prove it deals. Wonder why we weren't interested?

Kendricks denied this report later, FYI

Denied the terms? Or denied the signing?

(The reason I asked question instead of clicking the Roto link is because my I-Pad locked up when I went the link route).

Haven't seen it confirmed, just sayin'

 

[Ronin]

Cleveland.com is also reporting that has agreed to terms with the Browns.

But that was before Kendricks denied the report that he had agreed to terms.

Don't shoot the messenger: So there you have it. The Browns have not locked up Kendricks just yet but they are the favorites to land him. Anything else you hear is (bleep).

He eluded to only receiving offers at $1 million....feels it's not worth his production. It was a good interview.

Since he thought the offer was disrespectful they need to pull it and let him go on his way...SEE YA

 

[Ronin]

Yup. move on.

 

[NittanyCard]

Would’ve been happy to get him at 1m for the year. He’s definitely worth more.

Obviously not interested in a cheap prove it deal, and disrespected. Gotta move on

MEH.

There are guys like this every year in the NFL. They want the big contract, then it gets a couple of weeks before training camp and all of the sudden those "disrespectful" offers wind up not looking to bad.

We paid lot of money Gresham even if his performances didnt match his salary
Now we try to make a 1 year prove it deal for a player who has been one of the best safety , coming from a prove it deal, last season
im agree with Boston

32 General Managers disagree with you.

I feel like this isn't something you say when you have no other better offers and it almost july

This. He's been a FA for months. Take the money and stay in the league on a 1 year prove it deal.
