Rotoworld - Buchanon Released

I know a few weeks ago someone said they knew this guy personally and he said he would come to a team like the Pats cheap so he could win. Cheap replacement for Bodden?

Don't think he's a replacement for Bodden.

Wouldn't mind taking a flyer on him, though.

I also remember someone posting here that when he visited the Pats in a pre-draft visit, he was all POed that they didn't roll out the red carpet and take him to the Capital Grille for lunch.

Looked great in the Cover 2 where corners only have to be decent rather good or better. Found out badly.

No thanks.

Do you expect Bodden to be retained? I don't think they will. Should be interesting to see what they do at corner.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

If Bodden isn't resigned, we do need CB depth... and we do need help in the return game too. Hmmmmm

I think he should be retained.

Whether or not he is depends on what he's expecting in terms of a contract.

I certainly don't believe Buchanon is an adequate replacement.

How old is Buchanon ....45? whoops wrong Buchanon.

Bodden didn't look so great in Detroit either. I didn't see a lot of this guy, so I can't really say. I just know some people were speculating him coming here in a similar way to Bodden did for a low salary in order for a chance to win.

I am the person who talked to him a few weeks ago and then posted about it. I knew something was up when he was headed back to Detroit last night. I'm sure his agent will put in a call to the Pats (hopefully), but I know he will go anywhere where he has a shot at playing a role on a winner. He may have been a little immature as a kid coming out of the draft and I forgot to ask him about the whole pre-draft meeting with New England, but being on the Raiders, Texans, Bucs and Lions can change anybodies attitude about what they really want to achieve in football. I hope we get him for cheap, as there is no question in my mind he can help the team on defense and special teams.
