Is Champ going to end up in the Pro Bowl?

With Troy Vincent nursing a bad groin, I believe Champ is the first in line to take his place. I would have to think that Vincent is going to opt out of playing.

I was thinking the same thing.<br /><br />Champ gets to showcase his skillz for the second year in a row and it would be in our best interest to think contract extension now before its too late and its then a cap killing contract needed to keep him.

Champ is going to cost some money to resign. I'd like to get him done as soon as possible and I think there is little chance we'd allow him on the open market. The potential contract a guy with his ability could ask for is frightening though. For that reason, I'm actually hoping he does NOT make the Pro Bowl. I do not want him to feel validated in his performance this year which was more spotty than the year before. I want him to be hungry next year to make up for the "slight" of not making it to the Pro Bowl and I want him to play harder and better to make it. I don't want it handed to him yet on name basis in a season he played only pretty good, not great, football.

couldn't have said it better Art. After all it is business.<br /> <br /> [ January 28, 2002: Message edited by: indyskinsfan ]

agreed Art. Champ doesn't deserve to make it to the Pro Bowl this year. He played pretty well most of the year, but he was no where near the level of play everyone has come to expect out of him. The Dallas game was enough to change my mind. <br /><br />That being said, the Skins better get his and Jansen's contract over with before they have a chance to hit the open market. Expect Champ to be the highest paid DB in history. If Jason Sehorn holds that title now, Champ will easily get it. What scares me about Jansen is that although RTs don't usually get the love like LTs do, the Iggles gave Runyan a monster contract and he is a RT.
