Pats cut CB Leigh Bodden

[UNCrules2187]

Per PFT. I think we're pretty ok with our secondary now, but hey, bringing in one former Patriot CB worked out well, so who knows!

[Car123]

nah

[Cat'sGrowl]

lol. Bodden was the guy they cut Butler for.

Inb4 the obligatory "can he play dt" post

[Floppin]

Is he an upgrade over Clausen?

[Mr. Scot]

I recall Bodden looking good enough to merit a decent contract before. Haven't watched him this season though.

[Stroupe-a-loop]

Wow, Bill Bellichek hates his terrible, terrible secondary.

[Herbert The Love Bug]

He is a big CB which is good but I kind of doubt we bring anyone else in at CB.

I recall Bodden looking good enough to merit a decent contract before. Haven't watched him this season though.

He was in the 2nd year of a 4-year, $22 mil contract. The Pats switched from mostly zone coverage to a lot of man-to-man press coverage, especially earlier in the season (they've started going back to more zone in the last few games) which wasn't really their secondary's forte. I think Bodden will pass through waivers and wind up going to a contender. I could see the Saints or Cowboys going after him.

Wow, Bill Bellichek hates his terrible, terrible secondary.

Not sure who he 's gonna get off the street that's gonna make it any better.

[Floppin]

Wow, Bill Bellichek hates his terrible, terrible secondary.

Hey Bill, our defense sucks.

"Just cut everyone!!!! That'll fix it!"

[Mvp2014]

I would snag him on a 1 year

[Mr. Scot]

Bodden actually does have a connection with the Panthers, but it's on the wrong side of the ball.

Panther OC Rob Chudzinski was on the Browns coaching staff in 2004 (TE coach) and 2007 (OC). Bodden was in Cleveland both years (played there from 2003 through 2007).

Receiver coach Fred Graves was also on the Browns staff in 2004, so he'd have been coaching guys going against Bodden in practice.

Why do they cut everyone? LOL
