Now if for some reason he really doesn't have anything left, I am sure that would be exposed during training camp and the team can simply release him at that point.

Correct me if I am wrong but don't we have enough nickles to nearly make a dollar?

A lot of names get thrown out and 90% of the replies are: He can play nickle, he would bring leadership... Leadership is one person and we don't need a pocket full of nickles. We have a handle on stopping the run, we need shut down corners...

man I don't think champ has legs left, he totally got burnt big time like Jason david big time. safety may be better fit at his age. but on the cheap, I don't see that, he won't play for less than 2 mill a year. were safe we won't get him.

Well, Charles Woodson was a CB that moved to FS later in his career and he played well at the free safety spot. I don't see why Champ can't do the same.
