Champ made $13M last season in the final season of his once record setting 7 year $63M deal. And while he basically earned his $9M AAV deal he's 32 in June and while he says he wants to play until he's 40, good luck with that at his position. He's not coming here on a vet minimum deal and with Bodden returning where would you play him at much more than that?? Safety? He says he's willing to try that to extend his career, but he's not talking about that this season and he wouldn't take S $$$ any time soon, either. And with a cap coming back it's not like you could cut or flip Bodden to clear roster/cap space. Bodden's dead cap would be $4.5M.
at this point? no
BB clearly is looking to make this team younger and has accomplished that, champ would just muck everything up for guys like leigh and butler
of course not breaking the bank.. It seems like a natural fit.. We add some experience to a backfield that has little of it..
Never hurts to add talent at the CB position
If we can't get Asomugha I'd take Champ in a heartbeat.
We are thrilled to announce that the Broncos have agreed to terms on a new four-year contract with cornerback Champ Bailey.
4 year deal for a CB who will be 33 next year?
Looks like Elway has been away from the game a bit too long.
The team and its star left cornerback reached an agreement today on a four-year, $43 million contract.

Bailey, who turns 33 in June, took a pay cut to stay. He will make a guaranteed $11 million this season, or $2 million less than the $13 million he made in 2010.
"The commitment and loyalty that Champ has shown to the Broncos, the city of Denver and this region is exemplary," stated John Elway, the Broncos' vice president of football operations, on Twitter.
Bailey also has $4 million of his 2012 money guaranteed for a total guarantee of $15 million.

Well, unless the deal is really structured as a two year deal, Elway must be trying to kill the franchise in a hurry.
