I see no reason that the author should predict Bailey's decline as a one-year blip. The guy is older than Moses now.

However, Bailey is going to sign somewhere on the cheap due to his recent injuries and declining production. He's still got some gas in the tank, and what has been spent has been replaced by a whole lot of knowledge.

I say bring him in, let him compete, and let him mentor a very young secondary. Slay and Bentley, and especially Greenwood, could all learn a lot from him. Paying out a little for that kind of experience is all to worth it in most cases.

I thought they should have done this with Woodson last year.
 
talib or DRC would be better options than champ. Either cromartie id be fine with actually. Not sure who would get less on the open market. DRC is coming off a good year and is still relatively young. Antonio is coming off years of hip and other injuries and is now 30.

I'd love to see DRC here, but he's going to want big money, and unless Suh renegotiates soon, we won't have it.
 
DRC, no way. I want nothing to do with a guy that contemplates retirement every year. Hell no..
