Saints sign Champ Bailey

Yep, I just heard the news on Sirius NFL radio. I think its a good move, maybe the change of scenery will put some gas back in the ol tank. Its happened before so maybe lightning will strike twice.

Or he gets a deal done this year that is cap friendly for this year. They can easily structure a deal with a solid signing bonus that would hit this year's cap far less than the $7M tag figure.

I don't know what to think about this. I just hope we draft CB (even later rounds)

Can't trust Bailey, age, injuries...

It doesn't matter whether you trust him or not. It only matters that Payton and Loomis do.

Badaboommm! Seattle D has a competitor now.

I like it. His smarts and technique should allow Him to remain effective 15 yards inward. With Byrd and Vacarro covering the backend, any lost of speed he's incurred should be masked on vertical routes. If he's our starting nickel covering slot receivers, that's something we're not even going to game plan for.

Dont forget that Bush's tender wonr be getting paid.

Some of you are forgetting he missed a TON of games last year. Like half the season or more. Actually, I just looked it up, he only played 5 games last year.

I'd rather have Jabari Greer back, provided that he's healthy.

But having said all this, I hope Champ Bailey rocks! Sort of like he-who-must-not-be-named rocked when we signed him as a free agent in '09. You know what I mean.
