Vin+ 3,121 Posted October 28, 2014 Champ Bailey has announced his retirement from the NFL. The three-time All-Pro couldn't find work after getting released by the Saints at final cuts. It's an inglorious end to Bailey's 15-year career, but few players have had longer and more productive tenures in the NFL. Astonishingly, Bailey missed just 14 games between 1999-2012. He was a 12-time Pro Bowler, and No. 26 on the all-time interceptions list. The ex-Bronco and Redskin should be Canton bound.

theMileHighGuy 656 Posted October 28, 2014 I certainly hope there's a 1-day contract in his near future. ya Roland. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
seanbrock 1,684 Posted October 29, 2014 Hall of Famer for sure. He hung on a little too long, but he was among the leagues best defensive players, I'm talking top 5, for a good stretch. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BLUE 1,026 Posted November 15, 2014 Posted by Mike Florio on November 15, 2014, 4:03 PM EST Cornerback Champ Bailey entered the NFL in 1999, drafted in the top 10 by Washington. After five seasons, Bailey was shipped to the Broncos for running back Clinton Portis. After 10 years with the Broncos and an unsuccessful effort earlier this year to win a job in New Orleans, Bailey has retired. Via the Denver Post, Bailey will sign a one-day contract to retire as a member of the Broncos on Tuesday. A sure-fire Hall of Famer, Bailey’s first and only Super Bowl appearance came in his final NFL game. For his career, Bailey had 52 interceptions and seven forced fumbles. He scored four regular-season touchdowns on interception returns — three in 2007. Early on, Bailey supplemented his defensive expertise with a little offense, catching three passes for 78 yards in 2000 and running for a seven-yard touchdown. He also had a 65-yard punt return that year; in 2002, he returned 24 punts but fumbled four times, losing three of them. Source: ProFootballTalk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
