Thread: Champ Bailey visiting the Saints today

Former Denver Broncos Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey is visiting the New Orleans Saints today.

Bailey posed for an Instagram photograph with Saints defensive back Keenan Lewis.

Bailey is a 12-time Pro Bowl selection.

He only trails Pro Football Hall of Fame defensive end Reggie White (13 Pro Bowl selections) among defensive players in NFL history and ties for the sixth-most overall.

It took Champ Bailey a long time to reach his first Super Bowl, and it might take him some time to make people forget his recent form.

But that hasn’t kept him from looking for another chance.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the veteran cornerback is visiting the Saints, and may have another trip lined up, depending on the negotiations.

That would look odd. But seeing him in any other uniform would look odd.

I wouldn't mind seeing him in Tampa or Tennessee.

Good Luck, Champ!

All the best to Champ. If I have to see Champ play elsewhere the Saints are one I can definitely get on board with. I might even buy a jersey.

Davii, I like Champ as much as the next guy, but I'll be damned if my hard earned money will be spent on another team's jersey - no matter who the player is. C'mon man! (said in my best Cris Carter voice)

The Saints are my "other" team. Mainly because I lived in NOLA for a while and meet many of the players between hurricane Katrina stuff, color guards, toys for tots, etc. Besides the fact that I'll be living in NOLA as soon as the Marines let me and it's where the wife was born and raised.

I would wear a Champ Saints jersey, not on Sunday though, or any day the Broncos play. I like the Saints, but don't get it twisted, I've always been and always will be a Bronco fan.

Davii, let's just move forward and pretend this never happened.

I thought the Saints had no cap room left?

Ugh, I would vomit if he played for the Saints.

Who?

Champ is going to have to come in and take a 1 year contract to prove that he can still be a starter in this league. He's certainly not going to have a job just handed to him and probably won't get a guaranteed signing bonus. There just aren't many 36 year old CBs in the NFL.

I thought the Broncos should have tried to move him to safety, but apparently either they didn't think he would be good enough there to win a starting job or it would be just too hard to bring him back at a reasonable salary. Probably the latter.

He's going from $10 million a year to maybe $1 million - IF he makes the 53 man roster which is also not guaranteed.
