| Biography: |
David Boston's contract is worth $47 million for seven years, but there is a stipulation that voids the final two seasons of the deal, so the total payout is likely to be less.
The total of the initial signing bonus and a March 2004 option bonus is $7.5 million and $4 million of the 2004 base salary is guaranteed. The contract also includes several stipulations that protect the financial exposure of the team if Boston, a two-time offender in the NFL's substance abuse program, is suspended for any future violations.
Five years into the league, his career numbers are 311 receptions for over 4,500 yards with 25 touchdowns. He has also caught 16 balls that went for 40 yards or more over the course of his career a stat that is sorely lacking in San Diego. With a 6-2 frame and weighing in at 240 pounds he still manages 4.3 speed. In fact he is squatting over 400 pounds just three months after having a patella tendon surgery. |
