Leigh Bodden: Transition Tag?

[Nonentity]

The only way we are signing Bodden for what you would call "reasonable dollars" is if the team has pictures of him doing something illegal. Bodden was our best corner by far, and would be so next year if he comes back. he will be the #1 corner for some team this year,

I think you overstate that a little. We will pay Bodden what we think he's worth to us, and not a cent more.

The Lions gave him a 4 year, $27m contract when he was traded to them, working out to $6.75m/year. Taking into account wage inflation, his bad year in Detroit and his good year here, I'd be happy to give him the same contract again and I think he would take it.

I'm looking forward to a Bodden/Butler secondary.

I suspect that he is glad you aren't his agent.
