Wide receiver David Boston agreed to terms on a contract with the San Diego Chargers on Wednesday.
The number of years have not been disclosed but the money is in the neighborhood of $6 million a year along with a $6 million signing bonus.
Boston, whom the Cardinals elected not to franchise, had more than $7 million a year on the table from the Cardinals, who didn't want to guarantee much money with signing bonuses. Boston is considered perhaps the best player available in free agency.
Boston recently weighed 243 pounds and is able to run in the 4.3s. He suffered knee and foot problems last season. He's squatting 400 pounds three months after having a patella tendon surgery.
Playing only half a season, Boston still finished with 32 receptions for 512 yards and a touchdown. In 2001, Boston had the best season of his career, catching 98 balls for 1,598 yards and eight touchdowns.
