2009 Free Agents

[theJBexperience]

I'd like to see Bodden in a Skins uniform. I think he struggled in Detroit because of the zone coverage scheme, and of course the fact, Detroit's D as a whole was horrible. His INTs dropped, but his pass deflections were still pretty good, and he forced 3 fumbles. He probably won't command a lot of money because he's only had one solid year, so that's good. He's still young, and I think he could be a decent #2 corner and definitely a good nickel corner.

He went to Northwestern High School in Hyattsville, and you know how the Skins love local guys. Sign him up.

Leigh Bodden is tall and physical. Good cover skills but Rogers IMO is better. One thing I like about this year FA is the depth in CBs, we can get some good CBs like Dunta as nickel but D Hall and C Rogers should be our starters.

I'd like Bodden too... That way we can cut springs, save some cash, maybe even cut Smoot to save more money, draft a corner have hall, rogers, bodden as a nickle and I guess give tryon a shot...
I don't really understand y people want carlos gone soo badly, he's young talent and better than Smoot IMO...

[theJBexperience]

I think people want Carlos gone because of the cost involved. He's going to cost a lot of money to keep around here. He's great in run support and coverage for the most part, but if you're going to pay a guy top end money, it shouldn't be someone who doesn't get many INTs and offenses target.

I personally would sign Rogers and Boden and let Hall find another sucker team.

IMO Boden can't hold Rogers jock. Rogers is worth a big contract and he should get it.

I wouldn't say that, the guy was traded for Shaun Rogers and was pretty solid with the Browns before he went shitty with the Lions.

If we can't work out something with Hall and/or Rogers I'd say talk to Bodden.. he could be a longer term replacement for smoot, plus who knows how much longer springs will be here

I'd be more inclined to do that as Rogers can at least shut number 1 corners down.. he might not pull 6 picks a year but he stops way more potential TDs

Rogers needs incentives in his contract to hold onto the ball.. you can't expect him to grab everyone he defends but when it's right there and he's actually attempting to catch it, he should more often than that.

That would be a dream coming true, however I don't think we need to draft a corner.. We have needs other positions to fill in.. Our top priorities should be resign Hall (even though I'm still not sold on him but he's our best option) and extend Rogers.. The idea of shopping Rogers around is absolutely ridiculous (IMO), I really hope Redskins does not deal him away.. He can, hands down, shut #1 receivers.. Sure, he got stoned hands and can't catch balls, but he doesn't give up lot of TDs.. I am aware of our cap situation, but we have had enough of those aged players.. Get rid of them, or shop them around for like 6th or 7th round , if possible? Only aged players I would like to retain is Griffin, Thomas, and possibly JT (only if he's willing to take pay cut).. Give some of the money to those 2 kids, and offer Bodden a deal (although I think Bodden would be asking for little high price)..

At last, if it's possible - restructure with some players, leave little enough money in cap for next year to resign Chris Horton (and maybe Moore?) next year if they continue to flourish.. We, then would have a great secondary for years to come..

[BigHairedAristocrat]

Bodden is no where near the corner that Carlos Rogers or Springs is. However, he is a clear upgrade over Smoot. At this point, i'm doubtful we resign Hall and its highly unlikely that we retain Springs at his salary. Considering we may be "forced" to trade Rogers, too and we have a great deal of uncertainty at the corner position. We would be wise to sign Bodden ASAP. he certainly would be a good value pickup and in the worst case scenario, he could end up being our starter on opening day.

[SmootSmack]

I think Bodden is probably headed back to the AFC. Jacksonville and Houston probably at or near the top of the list

plus we know that someone else thats a bigger name will be cut to...who do you all think that might be

I dunno? Who?

I don't think Carlos is as good or as bad as he's sounding on here. He does have stone hands, but that did amount to 24 pass deflections. That's pretty stellar, but he's no game changer. What I don't like about him is whenever offenses seem to target him, he always seems to give up huge pass interference penalties. I guess that's okay, right? At least he's not giving up TDs. But all things considered, I don't think he'll ever be a good #1 CB, so he shouldn't get top tier CB money. If we're not going to be able to re-sign him, unfortunately we probably should see what we could get for him now.
