27-28 Teams have PRIORITY before the JETS
some teams in he Gints and even the Cowboys may look here...
TENN wanted Bodden before we signed him. Is the love still there?
who else is Battered DB-wise?
While it is true that many teams will have a chance to sign Bodden before the Jets do, I am doubtful that he will be claimed off waivers. For a team to do so that would mean that they will be picking up his current contract, and I don't believe anybody will do that. Bodden's salary is $3.9 million so if a team claimed him they would be responsible for whatever the remaining amount of this year's salary is, I'm guessing about $2.2 million.
If it turns out to be the case that nobody claims him, then Bodden becomes an unrestricted free agent and can negotiate with any team for any price the two sides agree upon. However, with Bodden not playing special teams, how many teams are going to be in the market for him? Some may, but I don't see the Jets being one of them.
The remaining pro-rated portions of Bodden's signing bonus will be counted against the 2012 cap. In this case that will be $3 million to the 2012 cap. Bodden had a 4-year deal through 2013 with a $6m signing bonus; that works out to $1.5m per year against the cap, all that gets pushed up to next season's cap.thnx for pointing that out JMT
an URFA Bodden could be had for more $$$ than what the JETS would ever offer
the thing I don't get is how his past contract will effect OUR CAP since we cut him this year are we still on tap for $ 2012 $$$ if he signs elsewhere?
plz let me know I am not familiar w/ the Cap game too much.
i'm not sobber if there aqre grammar issues my bad
Should of traded Bodden for a 5th. But I guess that shipped sailed a few weeks ago.

Sober or not that's a good question.
