Yep.

Lions to get Bodden and 3rd-rounder?

It has not been confirmed yet, but a league source said the Lions are very close to finalizing a deal that will send Shaun Rogers to the Cleveland Browns for veteran cornerback Leigh Bodden and a third-round draft pick.

Details are still sketchy, but the original trade that sent Rogers to the Cincinnati Bengals for a third- and fifth-round pick did not go through.

For severals days prior to Friday, the Browns had been the most interested in dealing for Rogers. Bodden had been mentioned as part of the deal. With veteran free agent cornerbacks Brian Kelly and Drayton Florence both looking for high-dollar contracts, the Lions wanted to land a veteran cornerback in a deal for Rogers.

Shaun Rogers...and the player Cleveland gave up, Leigh Bodden, is really good.
After getting Corey Williams, I think they really messed up with this move. You need help in the secondary and give up a good player there and another pick.

It's a masterful deal for the Lions. They were getting a 3rd and a 5th. That was the #76 and a 5th. Now, they get the #87 and Leigh Bodden. I'm confused about Cleveland's decision here, but they are now really good at DT if Rogers plays hard. I guess they decided sacrificing a fine corner was worth it as they don't need to be as good in the secondary with this type of d-line.

What's odd is that Cleveland now is in the situation generally reserved for Washington. They don't have a pick in the first 3 rounds.

Could the Browns now be interested in an Anderson for Hall swap?

These guys are quietly building that front seven. They won't have no problems stopping the run now.

Basically the team is still together, and the defense is getting better.

Yaa but the browns have a horrible secondary. ;) That was where alot of their problems were. They aint going to have many picks left. :P no first and no third. :P

Well, we have a good CB we could send them... for a QB ;)

Maybe that is in the works.

A better D Line makes a secondary better... not vice versa... its smart to build the line up first.. and then address secondary... and now they have Corey Williams and Shaun Rogers... if Rogers plays all out that is going to be a dominant line

Not really, they have Brodney Pool, Sean Jones, and others - have a decent secondary.

However, they were horrible at getting sacks last year. I believe they were last in the league until like week 12 or something.

Solidifying the D-line was a smart move.
