This explains a lot. Shame for both him and the Panthers.

They'll blame Gettleman. He will be the reason one of his legs is longer than the other 

[Mr. Scot]

Steelers beat writer Ed Bouchette is now confirming that he's heard the story about Boykin as well and that there's a good chance this condition is career-threatening.

Boykin reportedly had a visit with the Cowboys who apparently passed on him as well.

I've begun to believe that he was never going to make it to training camp regardless. The drafting of three corners might have only hastened his exit.

So when a random fan says anything critical they are blasted.

This random fan thinks Gettleman has done a very good job in general and hopes his decisions work out. However I have a tendency to not shrug things off and have total faith in any one person or thing. The secondary has many reasons for concern and the moves have been bizarre. I'd be very surprised if the secondary isn't a problem this season. 

Barring a miracle the secondary will be a big problem this season.  Looks like Gett stepped on his swinging dick.

holy poo. 40 pages. someone explain this.

People built him up to be something he really wasn't. Basically the same thing that happened with Lee Ward.

Free agent Brandon Boykin left his Cowboys visit without a contract.

It’s the second team to pass on Boykin since his Panthers release. There’s rumors Boykin has a hip condition, but he’s denied any issues. Boykin isn’t a lock to sign before training camp.

So did one of his legs suddenly go through puberty or something? Whatever the problem was obviously didn't prevent him from playing for all these years thus far....

Yeah I feel for him, but on the other hand a point was made... somewhere... was it the Roaring Riot podcast? ...that he and his manager came here and sold him as the answer to our problems, he was going to be our guy at Nickel, and they got him $80k knowing that his hip was a major issue.

Edit:Yeah it was the Roaring Riot Podcast.

It's very possible that it didn't affect him much in the past but it was a ticking time bomb and the timer just hit zero....

I'd say the word is out now, despite Boykin's denials. He'll have to prove, immediately and on the field, that he's healthy, and apparently he can't.

Time to face reality Brandon. Hope you saved some of that NFL money.
