Good post. I agree with you that the picks aren't the issue. Like I said, I would give up two first round picks for Champ Bailey, but how much money will he command? Maybe Bailey would take less to come to a contender? Maybe guys like Morton would restructure? Either way, I don't see Carl Peterson making this type of deal. It's just too good to be true.

I think wining the AFC West is the first goal to make the playoffs & Champ is money over spent, that could be spent elsewhere IMO

Carl's been manipulating the cap for years--methinks he can do it with the best of 'em...and if Bailey wants to sign for too much...Carl can handle it...

There are some good receivers in the AFC West and besides that we play alot of damn good receivers next year,outside of the AFC West.It's not just about the AFC West.It's about having the best chance of going to the Super Bowl and winning it all.

True...but as we saw this year winning the AFC West, even getting a bye-week and playing at home in the first game doesn't do a thing if your defense can't match up with other teams offenses in the post season...

we already have high paid stars in Tony G , Priest & the O line. We don't have to have the very best, it would be nice. IMO just don't see it as realistic

and just a middle of the road defense would have done wonders

you actually think that John Tait and Jerome Woods are worth more than Champ Bailey?

give me Champ Bailey,Shaunard Harts and marcus Spears in the starting lineup over Warfield,Tait,Woods.

the ability to lock down 1 on 1 consistantly on defense is Huge


depends on whether the money bailey wants is just so crazy that it kills the rest of the team.

you just can't afford to give randy moss money out and handcuff the rest of the team.

Big money is fine .... 1/4 of the cap for 1 player is not

We could have Bailey if we WANTED him,it's just a matter of paying him.

YEAH BUT A KICK-A** DEFENSE WOULD HAVE BROUGHT HOME THE TROPHY

True...but I think what has some of us salivating is the thought that with the coaching change combined with this one player from another team's stock has the potential of bumping us up to better than middle-of-the-road...not a guarentee...but sometimes that's all it takes...
