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.

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.

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      As I've said numerous times the last few days, having Thielen on the field has literally 0% to do with my views on this (I've even said I think Renfrow is going to take a ton of snaps from Thielen anyways).  He has more value to this team without playing a single snap than a 2026 5th round draft pick does for the franchise.   His value is helping set up T-Mac, XL, Coker, and Horn for long term success by helping them learn how to be pros, how to go about their business, how to train, how to do all the little things that helped turn Thielen from a D2 undrafted player into a borderline Vikings legend.

      Official Panthers roster cuts thread

      By tukafan21 · Posted

      He only wants to be traded because it's the Vikings who are calling. If he didn't want to be here, he could have retired, instead he took a pay raise to come back for another season.  I get it, it's an opportunity that he'd like to take, but we shouldn't cut off our nose to spite our face because he now wants to jump at this opportunity less than two weeks before the season starts. I'm not against trading him, I'm just against trading him for a return that doesn't help our team as much as having him on the roster would.  I'll put it this way, if a 5th is the best we can get for him from the Vikings and he's now dug in on not wanting to stay this year, I'm saying screw you and trading him to any of the other 30 teams besides the Vikings for the best offer we can get. He was perfectly happy here a week ago, if the Vikings soured him on that and then want to get him for peanuts, then screw them both.

      Yes and no, he wants to go back and his wife most definitely wants to go back. He took a bunch of team mates to Minny and has worked out with JJ two offseasons in a row. It's where both him and his wife are from.    The money was basically a please come back and help Bryce. Pretty please...here's some more money.    Now he's agreed to a paycut to go back to the Vikings.
