Champ Bailey - Future Saints Free Safety?

Jankman8 · 03-06-2014, 02:43 PM

What u all think? I think he would fit perfectly in our system, would bring veteran leadership.

I'd rather find youth instead of hoping a 35 year old player can still play, especially moving from corner to safety...

It's funny you just created this thread. I was coming here to discuss this very thing. The big knocks on him now is his health and age. If we could get him on the cheap for 1 year, I think rob would put him in places where he could contribute. I mean if he can make roman harper not suck so bad last year he could at least get whatever productivity is left out of champ this year.

I would continue to stay with the youth movement on an improving D.

Pass on CB.

I really like a Vacarro/Bush tandem. I think Bush will turn out to be a very good player.

Bush and vaccaro are a great tandem, both are physical and both can make plays on the ball

Jankman8 · 03-06-2014, 03:17 PM

I agree that Bush is the future. But I see Champ Bailey as a Ballhawk --> maybe similar role that Sharper got a couple of years ago?

Anyway would be an extra signing and should only be done if we get more capspace = if some team decides to pull the trigger on Jimmy Graham.

I think we can do better than a one legged safety.
