In regards to Champ, he signed a 7 year contract in 2004, so does his contract not expire until 2011?

Bailey gets $63 million deal from Broncos
DENVER - Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey will be the highest-paid cornerback in NFL history.
Bailey agreed to a seven-year, $63 million contract with the Denver Broncos that includes an $18 million signing bonus and $5 million in other bonuses.
he's in the last year of his deal, which will pay him 13 million whatever this season. . . . those salaries listed are the top one-year salaries (THIS coming year) per position, which are used to calculate the numbers of the franchise and transition tags. . .
edit: remember, 2004 was the first year of that contract, so 2010 is the last year of it. . . .
also, looking at those numbers from 04 shows you the difference between a good contract and a fluff deal. . . of course i don't know just how much of that 63 millions was in incentives, but i'm guessing that it wouldn't have been more than the usual, and with all his pro bowls and All-pros i would bet he probably earned a good percentage of those. . . and incentives aside, if we do retain him for this year he'll end up having gotten almost all of that 63 million-- as opposed to a contract like the one haynesworth just got. . . that deal was touted as a hundred million, but a number of league sources have said that it's structured in such a way that he's not likely to ever see more than about half that money. . . so, he and his agent get the publicity/ego boost of the enormous numbers, but in reality he settled for a much smaller deal. . . even if we were to move champ or redo his contract, he'd end up with close to fifty million from a deal he signed back in '04, while haynesworth's '09 megadeal looks 40% bigger but may not actually have any more "real money" in it. . .
i know most people just take this shit for granted, but i give champ props for understanding that he'd been taken care of properly and not agitating for a flashy new deal when lesser-talented corners like clements were signing contracts that on paper looked better than his. . . over the years we've seen stars like urlacher and ray lewis bitch incessantly about how their deals are never big enough-- those guys are constantly agitating for bigger extensions to satisfy their greed and their egos. . . i understand that a lot of people will regard this as nothing more than doing his job, and therefore not worthy of praise or mention, but our work world isn't even close to the same ball park as these guys-- and i appreciate that champ got paid, and then shut up about it and went about his business. . . the guy has been a model pro and has more than earned his money in comparison to what a lot of teams get from their big money guys. . .
