This might have to end up spawning off into its own thread.
For the Patriots DBs they have opposing QB Rating on passes their way as the following:
Bodden: 59.3
Butler: 67.6
Springs: 94.1
Wilhite: 115.3
that's the sad truth
We need to tell this guy to pound sand. He isn't worth it, being just an average CB, and doesn't make many plays, interceptions, etc. Also it causes dissention in the ranks as he is making a lot more than other deserving players.
Pound sand Bodden!
Yes, he should show some loyalty. If not, then sayonara. We don't need greedy bums like him "it's just business". He's already a multi-millionaire.
Put Peppers in the elephant position for 9M. He'd have a field day and have a great chance at a championship. Average CBs would look great with a pass rush.

Per game.
Per series....

I have no clue why he should give preference to the patriots, unless PERHAPS if the offers are almost equal. Even then, he may find other teams more interesting than the patriots.
Market value has no relationship to fair.
Market value has everything to do with what's "fair".
The going market value for a solid starting CB last year was in the $6-7 million range. Bodden certainly meets the definition of a solid starting CB. You can't argue that an offer averaging $4M/year, for example, could be considered "fair". And if Bodden wants to hold out for franchise CB money in the $8-10M/year range I don't think anyone would consider that "fair", even though someone may be dumb enough to overspend.
Just because Bodden wants to be paid isn't enough. Does he want to be paid as a solid starting CB, or is he under the delusion that he's earned "elite CB" status? If the latter, good luck to him, as he won't (and shouldn't) get that kind of money from the Pats. I agree with Slash83, $7M/year is as high as I would go.
OTOH, if the Pats try to lowball Bodden and then cry because he goes somewhere else for $6-7M/year, they have no one to blame but themselves. They won't get a comparable caliber veeran CB for cheaper on a long term deal, and there's a price to pay for stability in the secondary. I would hope that 2008 has taught the Pats the value of that kind of stability.
We always knew that Bodden would want market value. That's why he wasn't willing to take a multi-year contract this offseason. And he's already played for the Lions and the Browns- it's not like he can go to a team that's any worse than what he's already played for.
I wish him well at his next stop.
