Champ Bailey Agrees To 4 Year Contract With Broncos

[ravensfan2424]

ESPN text just confirmed, Well he's not coming to us...

[Ed_Reed20]

I'm actually surprised. The Broncos aren't going anywhere; you'd think Champ would want to play for a contender before he hung up his cleats.

Or maybe he is just loyal to his team and fans?

[JonM229]

Maybe he just hated McDaniels

[JO_75]

Well the Cowboys, 49ers and any other team who needs a corner likes this since this will most likely mean Patrick Peterson will now fall. I'm just stunned by giving him a 4 year deal since he is 33 and will be 37 when this new deal ends.

Or maybe he realized he wouldn't get $15 million guaranteed anywhere else.

hahaha no kidding, at his point in his career you would think he would want to go to a contender and try to win a title, signing with denver speaks volumes on his priorities

I was surprised by this move. I really thought Bailey wanted out of Denver. Goes to show, no rumor is safe.

I really think it was McDaniels. Now that he's out, Bailey wants to stay.

Yeah, some guys just play for the money... it's a shame considering he's already a millionaire many times over; he really could have helped a contender. Oh well.

I would say he's banking on being cut after a year or two, then jumping on board a contending team. I really doubt he lasts throughout the entire contract.

Good, didnt want him here anyway.Raise your hands if you are one of those people who say we dont need to draft a CB but wanted to sign Chump Bailey.

I'll admit wanting Ozzie to trade for him when Foxworth went down but I don't want him anymore. Plus $15 Million guaranteed for a 33 year old player is a little too much.

What's funny is that Ronde Barber also signed a new 1 year deal with the Bucs yesterday as well, and so as long as Aso remains a Free Agent I could care less what other corners do as long as it involves Aso signing with us.

I would agree with you....He will not be there for the length of that contract one reason is he is one serious injury away from retirement and his performance the last couple of seasons have been subpar.

This just means that there is almost no way possible we sign Aso if champ got that kind of money about to turn 33.

Aso is a younger and a better player.

I'd rather us try for Joseph if we go after a Free Agent Corner.
