Re: Saints sign Champ Bailey
I think he's got a couple year's gas left...
But even if he never steps on the field, having a guy like that around all the talented young players we have on the back end...that alone validates his salary IMO. |

Re: Saints sign Champ Bailey
I can't help but feel since he was in town for several days that the Saints took a really close look at his ankle and his overall health in general.
The contract looks to average 3 million, we're were 2 million under, will gain 1.4 million losing Bush, so I guess we're about a 1/2 million under now |

Re: Saints sign Champ Bailey
Love this signing! We need some veteran influence in the locker room and Champ has a ton of respect from the younger players. Even if his performance is less than his "prime years", he provides the team with great value as a mentor and a leader.

It certainly did work out in Sharper's and the Saints' favor. |

Re: Saints sign Champ Bailey
The First Quarter Pick 6? Yeah, Vacarro just jumped the seam route and took it back...
...uh, well, the Second Quarter Pick 6? Byrd slipped underneath the post route like he's always done and... ...oh, the Fourth Quarter Pick 6? Sorry, I've lost track, Bailey came in with the second wave of backs and just snatch the out route and ran it back... Mike? Mike? MIKE!?! Get Me Outta Here... |

Re: Saints sign Champ Bailey
How time flies ... if I'm not mistaken he was the guy the Redskins took when we traded our draft to get Ricky. If I remember right a lot of us fans were hoping the Saints could get Bailey, but Ditka had other ideas. Better late than never, eh?
