Yeah, the dude just got cut making less than 900k for the year on a team that definately could use CB depth.
Yet, hes such a special player and better than Jeremy Lane?
Right, cuz Boykin wasnt still a free agent a month into free agency. Hes so good that he only managed a vet min deal. Hes so great that team that just got him for an amazing bargain didnt just cut his ass like a few of the teams that had Boykins on roster.
At least Lane has stayed with one team his whole career and actually had enough value to his team to get lockdown for another 4 making decent money.
Yet Boykin is a god? God of hype, maybe... Perhaps some on this board need to write up Hollywood to get a bromance in the works for Vernon Adams and Boykins... Most hyped up non-Seahawks players on these boards in 2016.
And Panther fans...seriously... This was you a month ago... Great bargain deal, Gettelman is thr best. Now its Gettelman knows all, hes the best.
Good luck, you guys just dumped the best corner in the league in 2015, replaced him with rookies and hope.
Not to mention how hard it is to maintain success in this league, Panthers fans know about that though, just remember you guys have a mark on your back as the team to beat in the NFC, your shitty division is probably going to get better, does Newton have the tact to recover from his immaturity during and after the SB, and how does your team handle its SB hangover.
And yes... I do... Hate... Your team. Not because you beat the Seahawks twice last year.. But because of your sorry albeit talented excuse for a QB that whined like a little girl on the biggest stage of his career after he was the biggest douchebag of the 2015 season.
Hawks have suffered a depleted DB group almost every year.
We always seem to carry 1 or 2 oft-injured guys and it seems to bite us in the butt every year.
Tharold Simon is cheap but he's always injured. Wouldn't you rather have Boykin than Simon? Boykin wouldn't even make a whole lot more than Simon.
You may not think it would be smart to bring him in, but replacing Simon with Boykin improves our depth with a more reliable player, and that becomes pretty valuable later in the season when we are signing guys off practice squads and shuffling around our own young guys (subjecting them to waivers where teams can claim them).
Boykin would be a very cheap solution to a problem that has plagued us for years.
