I said the same thing earlier. It's not the draft picks, it's the money he's going to command. I am really doubtful that we can sign Bailey and re-up Tait, Woods, Dunn, Hicks, and Bartee, although the last 2 can walk as far as I am concerned.

At this point, I would rather keep Tait, Woods and Dunn, and sign either Taylor or Vincent than give away 2 picks and all of our cap space. My opinion changes though if Bailey wouldn't want to stick it to us cap wise. That being said, I doubt the Redskins will pick our offer over the 4 or 5 other teams interested in Champ Bailey. As you said, the value of our picks aren't that good.

I really do not care if we resign Woods and I do not want to resign Bartee. Hicks at a reasonable price is fine. So I think we can find a way to make him fit. I just do not believe Carl will.

Yeah our Defense is definitely in position to start pissing away Pro Bowl players. We have a ton of Pro Bowl players on defense. We can let one walk, especially one that performed well under our new D Coordinator.

I like Jerome Woods and I'm sure the Chiefs want to keep him,but according to Adam Teicher we aren't even close on the dollar amount.Both sides are far apart.I think many would like to keep Woods,but not if he is expecting to break the bank.He had the option to make $3 million this year and HE opted to VOID the contract,which tells me he thinks he is worth more or he would have played it out.Woods is a fine player but he is NOT worth over $3 million a year,when we have players like Shanaurd Harts or Dexter McCleon who could step in for him.That might not be as good as Woods,but they already are signed.The Chiefs need to upgrade on defense and IF players like Woods are going to be greedy and hold the Chiefs back than we have no choice but to let him walk.The Chiefs didn't choose this,Woods did.

I would trade a Pro-Bowl Safety and a below average CB for a Pro-Bowl CB and a below average Safety any day.

The bump increase from McCleon to Champ has to be greater than the drop from Woods to Harts.

Agreed and can't Julian Battle be taught to play Safety? He's got the size, speed, and he's a hard hitter. Didn't he play it in college more than CB? :hmmm:

Don't sign Woods...move up to draft Sean Taylor....and get Bailey.

So what? I can dream....

Dexter McCleon came here to play CB. McCleon failed miserably at Safety with the Rams. And Shaunard Harts should only be allowed to play spot duty.

Either way, I'd rather have Woods and Tait over what Bailey will command money wise.

Yes, my biggest complaint wth Battle is that he should be a Safety in the NFL. I would be delighted if he got that chance.

Holy Lord in Heaven :banghead:

Are you in a bad mood?

bad mood? no just can't believe we actually were talking about the same problem (the CB) one year ago
