If he returns to that 2012 level, I just don't know what to say.

Greatest Saints secondary ever (on paper)?

Yep! I like it...

The no pass rush denver had didnt help either. With our dynamic duo in the front seven Champ will be really solid if he is healthy. Trust in Loomis.

I hope Champ looked into how this is going to affect his social security checks.

If healthy the secondary will have a good many ball-hawks lurking back there. I have always liked Bailey, now I like him even more.

Hope he can stay healthy and contribute. I think he could still be decent in man-to-man coverage.

"CB Champ Bailey’s 2-year deal in New Orleans can be worth as much as $7M, source says. The #Saints have given him some guaranteed money"

Hope he can add some more of these to his highlight reel while wearing the Black & Gold!

Said it before, I'll say it again, Champ Bailey is still better then Greer, White, and Robinson right now at this stage in his career. He was hurt all last year. And the year before that he still had a pretty great year. It wasn't the epic Champ Bailey of old, but it was equivalent too or better than the year Lewis just had. I'm all for the youth movement, but this still is a good signing

And it's not the only injury Denver's dealing with -- Champ Bailey also has a foot sprain, the team announced on Sunday.

Bailey's injury appears to be worse -- NFL.com reports that the Pro Bowl cornerback is dealing with a "serious" type of sprain and that he "faces a recovery timeline of several weeks."

Champ told the Denver Post that he suffered the sprain during Saturday night's loss to the Seahawks when a Seattle player pushed his foot off of Bailey's.

This also may help plain why he looked awful last year...
