Champ Bailey Released? Bittersweet Goodbye

The Champ has left Denver. He is a person that has lived up to his nickname in more ways than one. It is my opinion that Champ Bailey is the best corner to ever play the game. I know people will continue to day Deion Sanders is the best, but I would disagree simply because Champ is one of the best tackling corners to ever play. Upon hearing the news it felt like I was punched in the gut. After sleeping on it I have softened my position, but only on the condition Denver brings in some more big names on defense. On the business side of things this move makes sense, but when healthy Champ can still play, especially if he moves to safety. Denver is in a position where we can't afford to lose anymore quality players on defense, and in fact we need to bring in 3-5 new players to complete this defense. They are now 28 million under the cap, and maybe Peyton Manning would renegotiate his contract to give us even more cap space to bring in the players we need so he can be assured of winning another Super Bowl.
