Deus Irae made the post of the day in another thread:

"If they wouldn't pay 7mil/year for Boldin, why would they pay 8mil/year for Bodden?"

Makes no sense.

Very simple - CB are worth more than WR. I don't know if actual contract numbers bear that our but the draft does, a top CB is worth more than a top WR.

I'm more worried about the Texans overpaying than the Steelers. Would the Steelers overpay?

if I remember right, weren't they originally trying to lock him up to a 4 yr deal, but he opted for the one year to put himself on the market?

Nope. Steelers are just like us with their pennies.

I'm glad we're taking care of our own during DA, something that could have been done a month ago. But I'm glad to period to add proven talent is subsituted for re-signing our own.

I'll be amazed if we keep Bodden, I bet you his price is going to jump too high.

If the Pats can re-sign Leigh Bodden, then our FO should be regarded as the best in the league so far this off-season.

Really? Because they've been able to re-sign guys that were part of a 10-6 roster? If they don't re-sign them then this roster is now 8-8.

The Steelers? Really? Something is telling me that they have no interest in Bodden and are simply trying to drive up the price.
