Bodden receiving interest from Pats, Texans, Steelers

The Patriots, Texans and Steelers are all vying for free-agent CB Leigh Bodden, according to league sources.
Bodden, who might be the best corner remaining on the market, intercepted five passes for New England last season, and the Patriots have made a sustained push to retain him. The Texans also are deep in the discussions, viewing Bodden as a replacement for departed CB Dunta Robinson, who received a huge free-agent contract from the Falcons.
The Steelers also are strong candidates for Bodden, who could end up with a contract averaging $7 million per season.
