Same thing could have been said about Brees

New Orleans Saints hay have made a mistake signing Champ Bailey

Danno

Using 2013 stats huh?

Clueless boob.

Halo

"hay" ??

So their main argument is that last year Bailey fared less well than Corey White when one was covering #1 WR's and the other was covering #3 and 4 WR's until injuries forced him higher on the depth chart?!

I think the article raises some valid concerns, re: Bailey's play last year. But it also depends on the supposition that we're paying him too much, based on a figure of 2 years/7 million. The problem with that is 7 million is the max, not the actual number. Unless he becomes the Champ Bailey of old and starts making Pro Bowls and All-Pro teams again his actual pay is likely to be much lower than 7 million.

Also, if worst case scenario Bailey is slightly less effective than Corey White was last year, I think that's a big win for us. White was extremely good down the stretch.

If he does play like the Champ of old, then we just won 100 mil on the penny slots

i do not see Champ starting at all. he is a veteran that will do spot duty and will be a player coach IMO. This is not the first time the saints have done this. odds are champ will not collect the big bucks in the contract but he stands a good chance at getting that ring,

Will Osgood?

And his opinion rates higher than Sean and Loomie...because why, again?

Yeah. That's what I thought.

Champ fought foot injuries all last year, so going off last years stats is a mute argument

So.... We now have 3 that fight Plantar Fasciitis?

Fantastic.

Championship!
