Why the Saints should sign Tre Boston
Bob Donnan-USA TODAY Sports Let’s put a huge disclaimer here that this only applies if the New Orleans Saints are unable to reach a long-term deal with pending free agent safety Marcus Williams.
If - and that’s a big “if” - Marcus were to find himself elsewhere to start the 2021 season, the Saints should look at Tre Boston as a potential replacement.
According to Pro Football Focus, “Over the past three seasons, [Boston’s] 94.7 coverage grade ranks second at the position.” This is important considering, “He’s not a guy who is going to be lauded for his run defense, but Boston has shown some of the best zone coverage instincts in the NFL at free safety.”
