saw that coming.
He is actually a Corner...Who cares anyways, hes old. Hes going to start losing his steps this year...he probably will be get injuried and retire this year.
I like your thinking!Quote:

In a few other threads, there were some discussions about if he were to want to switch to safety, it might not be a bad signing to grab him and have him rotate with Lewis at FS rather than McGraw. That's why I posted the thread about him re-signing with the Broncos. That scenario is no longer available.
If we had Bailey I just see us taking reps away from our young guys and I don't want to see that happen and I know Bailey wont sign with a team just to be a back up. If Lewis can stay healthy this year I don't think you will the back up FS too much next year. I don't want to say it will be McGraw backing up Lewis just because I don't see the Chiefs keeping McGraw next year.Quote:

Second. I don't dislike any of our safeties, I love both Berry and Lewis and think they will and already have helped strengthen our secondary for years to come, and was not insinuating I want anyone to come in a take time away from our young guys. The reality is that we do need DEPTH at safety and I agree McGraw will more than likely not be here, and I have not problem with that I think we can amd will land an upgrade.
The idea that Bailey could have came here would have been to mentor the young secondary, while adding depth. I wouldn't have argued with Bailey starting at FS for two seasons while Lewis rotated in with him and learned.
All in all, this thread was simply to inform the people who had discussed the idea of him coming here, that he was no longer available and resigned with Denver.
Seriously? I understand what the thread is about and I was just simply stating my opinion of why I wouldn't want Bailey. Two Bailey would want too much money just to be a mentor for our secondary, but you are right we do need depth and I just not sure how the Chiefs are going to approach getting more depth at the safety positionQuote:

As far as safety depth, possibly Ahmad Black Saftey from Florida in the 3rd or 4th rounds?? I like him. Don't know how strong the FA pool is haven't looked at that position yet.
haha its all good I have been worried about WR and a rushing LB I really haven't looked at the saftey positionQuote:

This isnt all that updated because Bailey is still a FA on this website but It has all the safeties that are FA's this year
Yeah I would agree those are both more of a need than Depth at Saftey.Quote:

I know he wont be there but if Julio Jones falls to us I would love to grab him. But I really think someone like Akeem Ayers at 21 would be nice, or trade back with a team like NE (they have a ton of early picks) to pick 28 or 33 and grab a WR with that pick and land another 2nd or 3rd rounder in the deal.
