Dan Bailey declines opportunity with Browns

[Jake]

He's waiting for "the right team", like Dez, according to Cowherd's news girl.

Is he trying to get his head right, too?

He probably saw yesterday that several teams need a kicker.

Let the bidding begin.

Do kickers really have the luxury of sitting back and waiting for the right team?

After what I saw yesterday..... Yes they do.

 

[TheCoolFan]

Smart move. Lots of bad weather in that division in December/January. He should wait to see if an indoor team like Minnesota wants him

He was one of the highest paid kickers in the league so maybe he does..

 

[uvaballa]

Kickers can be divas now? Maher said you’re not getting your job back Dan.

 

[erod]

I have this nagging suspicion that he's hurt.

 

[Mobinvans]

I'd say no to unless I was broke

Who knows what the real story is but his agent has gone from saying four teams are interested to saying he turned down the Browns. But he still hasn't signed after two weeks on the street and the Jets have said they passed on signing him.

This sounds a lot more like an agent trying to drum up interest than Brad Pitt turning down movie pitches.

He got paid with us, so I doubt he's desperate for money.
If he plays his cards right and avoids injury, he can play for a long time.

"Evidently." - Duane Thomas

Bailey has made over $10 million in his career, and doesn't strike me as a guy blowing it on bling. He's not desperate for work.

Does Dan have the same agent as Dez? It all sounds very familiar.

 

[Idgit]

Waiting on the Vikes.

That's exactly what I think. He's never been the same since his injury. When was that, a year or two ago?

he and DEZ have the same agent?

I heard he turned down 4 offers. I don't know what he's looking for, but I do know one thing, I wouldn't want to live in Minnesota. Too cold for my taste.

Vikings have a better shot at the playoffs over the Browns. Wonder if he would sign with them if they offered.

Only has to live there during football season. Aside from the Packers, Minny is probably the best place for him if he wants to win a SB...
