Asante Samuel was thought to have been an over-priced CB who just did well under the Patriots system, until he did well in the Eagles' Secondary as well. Speaking of which, Lito Sheppard has been released by the Jets, so we should bring him into the complex for a visit.

Bodden is supposedly asking for something in the $5 million per year range, if true then that is quite a bit cheaper and a much better value than Dunta. I hope we can sign him to a deal in that neighborhood, then we could be free for the most part to go BPA in the draft. I would also feel better about this off season and how Rick Smith is handling it, retaining Walter and getting a starting CB would be a very good start.
