Barry from MS

Dixon has pretty decent size for a DB, and he did flash a few times in preseason. It is hard to comprehend a rookie UDFA rookie from NW Missouri State getting a DB spot over future HOF'er Champ Bailey, but it is what it is.

Champ wouldn't have made it over the course of 19 games this year. At least Dixon is a DB that can develop in Ryan's defense over the course of the next few years. Long term investment versus very short term part-timer with a big veteran salary. Might bring Champ back later, though.
