This is what I was wondering too. They may want Peanut back for a year to help mentor these young guys.

Uh

Also, I guess this gives us more likelihood of getting that comp pick.

Speechless...

I actually wonder if he may have asked for a release, no reason to cut 3 guys to sign 6 when you have 5 open roster spots.

EDIT: Well, guess his tweet disproves that.

Since it now seems clear that Boykin's asking for a release is not the answer, Gettleman must have some other players in mind for the extra 2 roster spots....

Great signing there Gettleman! $80,000 in dead money now. For a guy that never played a down for us, cut 2 months after signing.

Feels like the prelude to bringing in a more prototypical outside corner. We only seem to keep 1 nickel, I just thought we'd give Sanchez a year to learn behind one of the best. 

Then OT and maybe Safety could use a vet.

It is odd that this makes me excited?

I was very surprised at first, but I can see why this happened.  They knew Boykin was just here to try to earn a payday.  They must have really like what they saw in the rookies to, damn.  I'm pretty excited to be honest.

This is a move I won't try to defend. Dirt cheap really good veteran. 

[AceMan]

Well I'll be...

[App Panther]

So our drafted rookies looked good against our undrafted rookies. Wow.

Man they must not have though very highly of Boykins, they cut him before he even got a chance to compete. I am not feeling going in to training camp with all these rookies and inexperienced players in the secondary.
