BrownsKidd Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Would be an interesting tandem in the backfield with Haden and Bailey... sounds like a nice cocktail. http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/denver-broncos-will-release-champ-bailey--saving--10-million-033649943.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gftChris Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 He would probably want the $10m he was on. Not interested in that kind of deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenew23 Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 To play safety? For $2-3 million? I'd take it... Not at $10mil to try and play CB... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PoeticG Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 8 years ago I would have done it in a heartbeat. Now, noooooo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbedward Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Yea he'll probably go to a contender and contribute very little. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarker Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 He is old and there is a reason why he was let go. There is. The Broncs pick up 10kk cap space by releasing Champ. Champ is old but has some gas left in the tank. An injury kept him sidelined most of this year. He got burned 2 times for TDs is the word. 2 times. If that's as bad as it gets then... Champ is a leader and a smart cookie. He knows his career is winding down and would likely give someone a good deal for his services. 14 Pro Bowls - Bruce Mathews, Merlin Olson 13 Pro Bowls - Jerry Rice, Reggie White, Tony Gonzelez 12 Pro Bowls - Champ Bailey, Ray Lewis, Randall McDaniel, Junior Seau, Will Shields Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slowburn Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 forget about big money FA's making a meaningful contribution to the 2014 Browns. Long term competiveness is cultivated through competent player evaluation/selection and effective coaching/leadership....qualities sorely missing in recent Browns history. Of course, there is a rich history of FA's "making impacts" but I think you'll find the team they joined was already stacked with talent........not the 2014 Browns. It's an illusion for young teams to take the easy route and throw money at broken toys looking for greener pasture to kick back and retire.

Yes, look no farther than the Browns who are going to be paying Kruger $7 million this year- we certainly didn't get our money's worth last year.

Louisville Slugger Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 I wouldn't sign Bailey unless it's at leaugue minimum. He is 35 so unless he can play FS he will be a liability and not much of an improvement over Skrine whom I am not a fan of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remarker Posted March 6, 2014 Report Share Posted March 6, 2014 Getting the story straight and for the record; http://www.usatoday.com/story/sports/nfl/broncos/2014/03/05/longtime-cornerback-champ-bailey-released/6104473/ Excerpts: Bailey said the Broncos did not offer him a pay cut. Bailey leaves Denver with 52 career interceptions (34 as a Bronco) and 12 Pro Bowl selections (eight with the Broncos). He was a first-round pick by Washington in 1999. Bailey said. "I'm a corner at heart. If a situation made sense to play safety, then I would consider it." I like Champ. He's one of the good guys and good at it. I wish him well wherever he goes.

slowburn Posted March 7, 2014 Report Share Posted March 7, 2014 dude played in five games last season....starting 3 of them. the first time in his career that he never played in at least 16 games. Not a good endorsement from the Bronco's. Unknown how much juice he has left. Questionable if he passes the physicals of the teams showing interest.
