Daily Links – The Last Thing We Need is Champ Bailey Contract Drama

Posted Thu Jan 3rd by

[Bailey]

  • As if Matt Lepsis‘ retirement and Javon Walker‘s trade pseudo-demands weren’t enough, it looks like our lone Pro Bowler Champ Bailey is thinking about asking for a little more dough this offseason. He sounds pretty mellow in the quote, but it makes you wonder why he would address it to the media in the first place. [Denver Post]
  • Bates may be on the hot seat, but don’t forget who employed him, this writer proclaims. [Rocky Mountain News]
  • One of our readers asked for a Matt Lepsis tribute in a recent comment. It looks like Andrew Mason has you covered for now. [Mason’s Morsels]

    What do you think the chances are that we trade Javon Walker for Zack Thomas?

    Both have health issues, and Walker is much younger than Thomas. They would have to package draft picks as well, or throw in a defensive lineman. Not Jason Taylor, mind you – Thomas + Taylor for Walker is a “too good to be true” scenario.

    Either way, I don’t think Bill Parcells wants any part of a diva wide receiver after his experience with “the player” in 2006.

    It just sucks to see him wanting out. Seems to me that he is doing it because we had a losing season, and when he THOUGHT he was healthy towards the end of this season, he didn’t get many balls thrown his way because Brandon Marshall is doing awesome right now. And to think, I just got a Javon jersey for my birthday in October. Ugh.

    I’m with you in hoping this whole thing will blow over. In the end, he’s under contract, and the Broncos have the final say. He stopped shy of demanding a trade, and the only ones commenting that Javon should take a paycut are the local beat writers.

    We’ve heard nothing from the Broncos on the subject. I’ve still got my fingers crossed.

    The Lepsis tribute was ok, but I know the dudes from Bronco Talk will do Mr. Lepsis justice. I am looking forward to THE tribute.

    Broncos for life
