Escalator clause gives Panthers safety Tre Boston huge bump in salary

CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Carolina Panthers safety Tre Boston will more than double his pay in 2017 based on playing time in his first three seasons.

Boston’s salary jumped from around $791,000 to $1,898,367, an increase triggered by a Proven Performance Escalator written into the 2011 collective bargaining agreement for players drafted between rounds 3-7.

Boston was a fourth-round pick out of North Carolina in 2014.
