Bodden deal done - 4 years, $22M ($10M GTD) [merged]

Moreover, whom would you point to on either the Saints or Colts that would fit his definition?

You kidding?

Jabari Greer was the best CB in the NFL whose last name doesn't rhyme with Beavis last year.

I'm not kidding at all, since that isn't, you know, actually true.

Are we suggesting that we won't fill ANY of those needs in the next 44 days of free agency?

Those are pretty much the 3 MUST adds within those 4 picks. Leaving us with 1 to go to a: tight end, running back, inside backer, punt..(just kidding), interior offensive lineman, or another outside backer (my preference...I want a strongside and weakside, enabling us to eventually putting TBC as a "super sub")

i see us snagging a DE, OLB, WR/RB, and then either a OG/C or another DE/OLB tweener. Would be really pleased with something like this on draft day. We add another WR to the mix through FA and maybe someone else to bring in 4 DE/OLB help and they should be in pretty good shape. I like the middle this year, Wilfork, Mayo, Guyton/McKenzie should do pretty well. McKenzie will have had plenty of time to heal and rehab since last camp...

... he wasn't even close.

Now, if we can only get that No. 1 corner.

Define "No. 1 corner" please

Moreover, whom would you point to on either the Saints or Colts that would fit his definition?

And after doing that please list the rest of the #1s. I'd like to see how many #1 corners exist in your world...

Not at all, I definitely foresee us grabbing a wr. In fact I said months ago I wanted Josh Reed. However, the talent level left in fa <<<<<the talent level in the first 2 rounds of the draft.

Before you girls get all catty, look who I was responding to about the No. 1/No. 2 corner thing.

The title is usually kept factual.

I am VERY HAPPY that this deal got done!! 5.5M per season is not at all breaking the bank for a very good cornerback who is really good in our system and who stays with his responsibilities instead of gambling too much (ala Asante). Bodden will very likely see all 4 years of his contract as they are in his prime years (28, 29, 30, 31). It also gives the Pats secondary stability over that time peroid. Now just wait for Butler to blossom and this CB tandem could become one of the tops in the NFL quite soon!

Welcome back to New England, Leigh Bodden!! :rocker:

We should just rename this thread, "Everything you ever wanted to know about Leigh Bodden"

 

[skinnydog]

Wow, 36 pages on Bodden.

 

[ausbacker]

The confirmation is most excellent news. Now, let's sign some more quality beasts.

 

[Brono]

Good news indeed!

Welcome back Leigh Bodden!

4.5 million a year for a realy good #2 corner is a great deal for the pats.

For sure.

Main problem is we havent #1 CB and top Safety. He is our best DB.

I still have no idea what this term "#1 CB" means. I think it has something to do with the general idea that CBs cover WRs and a #1 CB is like a #1 WR or something like that? I trully wish someone could explain the term "#1 CB" as it pertains to the NFL. Also why is there not a "#1 OLB" and "#1 DE" and "#1 ILB" and "#1 Safety". I'm so confused!
