The Carolina Panthers waived former University of North Carolina safety Tre Boston Tuesday as one of five players who were let go.
Fullback Devon Johnson, tackles Jordan Rigsbee and Jake Rodgers and cornerback Lou Young were also waived.
In three NFL seasons with Carolina, Boston played 42 regular season games with 16 starts and totaled 93 tackles, two sacks, nine passes defended and three interceptions, including one returned for a touchdown. He was a fourth-round draft choice from UNC in 2014 but suffered a knee injury late in the 2016 season that forced him to injured reserve.
