tkatz Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 My question is what do you think CB Champ Baileys future with the team is? I cannot believe that Dan Snyder would allow the best cornerback in the NFL to leave via free agency but you never know. He is going to demand a signing bonus of at least 13million or more (matching Ty Law's). I think it is imperative you resign him b/c he is not only a great corner but also a true Redskin. He doesnt complain, plays injured, isnt afraid to come up and tackle backs, and also is well liked by his teammates. His tenure with the team is in doubt though. If a contract cannot be reached with him I know that we will throw some kind of "tag" on him which would enable us to get two first rounders, but do you think it is worth it?

Could'a, Would'a, Should'a Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 your right i cant see Dan letting him go, he'll be tagged at worst and play next season with the skins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PCS Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Champ's future with the team is up to Champ in many ways. Continue to play hard, work through injuries, and gain back that little bit he seems to have lost, ( and stop sitting down on the bloody double moves. Yeeeeeeesh :doh: ). Most importantly, when the season is over and negotiations begin again, stop with the out of my hands nonsense. Take an active role in the deal trying to be struck with the Redskins. Okay..make that a more active role. He wants to be paid this much for this many years and such. fine. Present his case in person. if rumors are true, the Redskins have already decided on Champs immediate future. Placing the tag on him if things don't go to well.

tkatz Posted December 9, 2003 Author Share Posted December 9, 2003 Worst case scenario we tag him and he is still signed by another team but we get two first rounders in exchange. Although that would be tough we could sign a player like Ahmed Plummer and Grant Wistrom and draft two d-lineman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Could'a, Would'a, Should'a Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 you wont get 2 no.1's for him, im not saying this because im an eagles fan but i base it on the reality of 8 good to great corners being available through FA, not all will be tagged (if any) Springs Winfield Law McAllister Woodson Plummer Vincent Taylor Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Could'a, Would'a, Should'a Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 all those guys would make Bailey cheaper to resign tho, for a lot less than an 18M SB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skins26 Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 I'm just worried that he's gonna go to some team that has a really good D Line. If he played for a team that had a really good D Line, he'd have like 15 INT's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nerm Posted December 9, 2003 Share Posted December 9, 2003 Originally posted by tkatz Worst case scenario we tag him and he is still signed by another team but we get two first rounders in exchange. Although that would be tough we could sign a player like Ahmed Plummer and Grant Wistrom and draft two d-lineman. Actually that sounds like the best case scenario for the Skins. Two first round picks and a ton of cap room. Worst case scenario is you tag him, other teams look for one of the many good FA CBs in the market (no trade), Champ says he will not play for the franchise amount and sits out for the first month of the season or more, and the Skins have a huge amount of cap space devoted to a guy who isnt even playing. Galloway did it with the Sahawks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
