There’s a starting-caliber NFL safety in his mid-20s with a history of social activism who – not coincidentally – remains on the market more than a month after free agency started.
Former 49ers safety Eric Reid, one of the first players to join Colin Kaepernick’s national anthem protest in 2016, is still unsigned.
But so too is former Panthers safety Tre Boston, who was fairly outspoken – especially by Panthers standards – two years ago following the shooting death of Keith Lamont Scott by a Charlotte police officer.
Boston talked on social media and with reporters about coming up with a team-wide show of unity and love amid the violent protests that erupted in Charlotte following the Scott shooting.
