I agree about what people said, I was not one of them. I did however think our original deal was too much, and now I feel the Broncos paid WAAY too much for Champ. He's a CB for pete's sake. We're getting Portis at about 3 mil a year cheaper. Portis is much more valuable. I loved Champ, great corner, but no corner...I repeat, NO CORNER is worth that amount of money.
What ever happened to team loyalty?
I'd argue that Deion in his prime was worth that kind of $$. He was a true gamebreaker, Champ is a shutdown corner but he doesn't make teams pay for throwing his way the way Deion did.

Exactly, teams so rarely threw to his side of the field that he had few gamebreaking opportunities.

To all my fellow loyal Skins fans:
Let's get over Champ. PLEASE! He did not want to be here, and we have one of the best RB's in the league in exchange. Jansen resigned and restructured his contract, Lavar also did the same thing. Why? Because they are team players who are loyal to the Redskins organization. Champ was unhappy since the beginning of the season, and you could tell that he wanted out.
Now I have figure out what to do with my Champ Bailey jersey.

Well, here we go. it's all ironed out. The bottom line is, we get a younger/bigger impact player CHEAPER. I will go on record saying that i think Champ was slightly overrated, and on top of it, no matter HOW much talent he had or didn't have, we got a young stud of a back that'll have his hands on the ball 20-30 times a game, with the chance of scoring at any moment. So, for all those people who knocked this deal, it's not looking so bad now, is it?
