He's in the last year of his deal and doesn't think he will remain in Denver. I know we have Jenkins and TNew, but I would go after him anyway. You could always use a 9-time pro bowler that still has some tread on his tires.

DENVER (AP) Could Champ Bailey's days in Denver be numbered? The nine-time Pro Bowl cornerback is starting to think so.
Bailey and his agent, Jack Reale, were close to hashing out a four-year extension that would have kept the star defensive back in Denver through 2014 when the Broncos decided to pull the offer off the table this week and broke off negotiations.
"I thought we found a way to make it work, but apparently I was wrong," Bailey told The Associated Press on Friday. "My thing is, my optimism is slowly fading away about staying here."
The 32-year-old Bailey is in the final season of a seven-year deal and can become an unrestricted free agent after this season.
Coach Josh McDaniels said Friday the Broncos want Bailey to finish his career in Denver but suggested the timing just wasn't good right now.
Bailey said the Broncos' decision to postpone talks on a deal after submitting a proposal to his agent last week, however, makes him wonder if he'll soon be playing somewhere else.
Bailey also suggested on his weekly radio show on KXDP-FM this week that, given the stalled status of his contract talks, he wouldn't be surprised if he's traded by the Oct. 19 deadline.
"There's so many people just changing teams. I just think anything can happen at any time," Bailey said. "So, I'm telling you, if you're a guy in your last year or you want a new contract or you're a free agent, you might go somewhere else. Do I really need to spell it out for you?"

Thoughts?


 
He's not going to take a 3rd CB role when he can start some other place.
 
What do we need him for?

At this stage of his career he'd be the 3rd CB here, and he wants way too much money for that role.

Bad idea.
 
Unfortunately he's going to want way to much money to play here, especially given that he's most likely be no more than the 3rd corner.

I highly doubt he's a canidate to play Safety, so I don't see that working either. Someone like the Ravens might take a look at him though.

Or will, is what I should say.
 
He definitely has more than enough tread left on the tires, but he doesn't fit in here.

Houston needs secondary help. So does Atlanta.

This is a deadskin move waiting to happen.

Trade their next 3 #1 picks, and pay Bailey 150 million for 10 yrs, with 125 mils guaranteed.

Ger R Dun Danny!
