Bodden's position will be "fair" at around 6-8 mill/per, IMO. As we know, corners are paid more per average, and guys like Kelvin Hayden and Chris Gamble are making 9 million/per.
I'd hope we're at least starting the negotiations with Bodden at 6-7 mill/per, because it we're not, someone else will surely pay. Just last year you had guys like Foxworth, Greer, etc, making 7 mill/per. Bodden is certainly worth at least the same if not more, IMO.
Hope you're right, and they end up locking him in at around 6, that'd be great.
Hopefully the rest of the league (like some posters around here) didn't realize quite how good Bodden was last year and no one will make any insane offers for "just an average" CB. I have to think that BB knows how harmful it would be to our defense to let him walk. Just hope there aren't any attitude/chemistry issues that will keep us from paying what he's worth.
