Tre Boston

Tre Boston signed very late in the offseason last year with the Arizona Cardinals and proved to be one of the very few bright spots in their terrible season. Boston is a capable player in both run defense, and against the pass, so he adds value in a variety of ways which is what the Raiders need.

The Cardinals have too many safeties so he will no doubt hit the market and it doesn’t seem like he is going to command a huge payday. At worst you’re getting a capable starter with Boston, and that is more than Raiders have right now at free safety.
