Is Leigh Bodden one of our next JAG corners?
 

Just saw on PFT he's getting the boot in Detroit. I don't assume Detroit sheds players just because they suck. In fact that might be why they sign players...

Sounds like a cap/culture casualty, and I make no assumptions he's even any good. I just wonder if he's the "stick him in the back and let 'im go" type CB material Bill likes.

Plus it's almost time for the flood of "so and so was cut, lets sign him!" threads, so maybe I can be an unofficial kick-off for that? Not exactly the purpose of this thread, but you know the time approaches...

No more JAG cornerbacks from Detroit or Cincy please. :D

Bodden was decent for Romeo a couple of years ago.

I would not be surprised at all (please don't sign him), but then again he could mearly just be cut in the end anyway just have to wait and see. I did read this earlier on rotoworld (I think has the best and fastest news regarding players) wasn't sure about starting a topic on it tho.

Rotoworld Player News
"Yet another one of Matt Millen's regrettable moves, Bodden was an average corner when put in Detroit's zone defense and took too long to unseat Travis Fisher as a starter. Bodden's contract was formatted poorly, as he was due an $8.6M roster bonus in the second year. The Lions are left with only the third-round pick they acquired from last offseason's Shaun Rogers trade."

Per PFT, "It’ll be interesting to see where Bodden lands. We’ve got a feeling that more than a few people in Cleveland would love to see Leigh wearing an orange helmet again."

Yeah definitely could see that happening.

I saw this earlier today but agree we do not need any more retread corners from bad defensive teams. He looked alright his last year in Cleveland before he went to the Lions but he is a big corner with 53 starts in the league so you never know.

Ronald Bartell from the rams is a big corner as well who is the other DB that I like from the Rams (Otogwe).

Joselio Hanson from the Eagles was on the field over Leto Sheppard near the end of the year is another corner in FA I think could improve our defense.

Bodden was pretty good in Cleveland- wouldn't mind seeing him land here. Worst case scenario, we cut him.

Makes Shaun Rogers for Bodden-and-a-third look even more stupid from Detroit's end, though.

Bring him in to push the sophomores in TC/preseason

Re: Is Leigh Bodden one of our next JAG corners?
 

Bodden was an up and coming CB for Cleveburgh, I hadn't realized they traded him. If he's not brain-burned after those two dysfunctional organizations he's worth bringing in for a visit. If he's willing to take a prove-it, one year career rejuvenation contract with a championship caliber team...I'm interested.

Didn't you learn your lesson when the Lions cut Fernando Bryant? This should be a huge red flag if a guy can't even stay on the worst team in football. I hope the Pats pass. In fact, the highlights I did see of teams beating the Lions was WR's burning Bodden repeatedly.
