Boss Reaches Deal With Raiders

The free agent tight end Kevin Boss agreed to a four-year deal with the Oakland Raiders Friday morning. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Boss was third on the Giants in receiving yards (531) and fifth in receptions (35) last season. In four seasons with the Giants, he appeared in 58 games and started in 45 of them.

“It’s disappointing; it’s something that occurred very recently, and we were very much involved, but the decision is the decision,” Giants Coach Tom Coughlin said. “We wish him well.”

On the Raiders, Boss replaces Zach Miller, who signed with the Seattle Seahawks earlier in the week.

The Giants will now go forward in training camp with five players listed at tight end — Travis Beckum, Bear Pascoe, Jake Ballard, Ben Patrick and Christian Hopkins.
