Then what you get is Bodden demanding a trade because he's tired of being only the 3rd CB.
A agree, a guy like Bailey will mess up the locker room.

You could lineup Bailey, Darrell Green and Deion Sanders at corner with Ed Reed and Ronnie Lott at safety with this front 7 and the lack of a pass rush would still lead to tons of converted 3rd and longs for the other team.
Amen my brother!
We have seen how horrible we are defensively when the offense does not give us a big lead. We need a pass rushing demon.
The guy that is growing on me more and more is Keiser of Stanford. A third round, maybe second round guy with huge upside in our defense.
A Few options:
-Mike Sims-Walker, WR: could come cheap and would be a need if they don't draft a receiver in the 2nd.
-Jason Trusnik, LB: Team player who will contribute on special teams and linebacker, both inside and outside
-John Kuhn, FB/Heath Evans, FB: They'll probably upgrade from sammy morris. Evans has stated his desire to return to the patriots but Kuhn is the more attractive option.
-Sidney Rice, WR: He will test free agency and fits what the patriots need but it is quetionable whether or not the patriots will pay him.
-Alan Faneca, G: They could use another guard and Faneca still has a lot in the tank.
-Cullen Jenkins, DE: Like Rice, I don't know whether the Patriots would pay him what he wants but he fits perfectly as a 3-4 end.
-Mathias Kiwanuka, DE/LB: Kiwanuka has played some outside linebacker for the giants and I think he could really excel for the patriots as a pass rushing outside linebacker.
-Reed Doughty, S: Solid depth at safety.
Rice isn't going anywhere but I like the list.
And finally bring in Champ Bailey if at all possible. Relegate Leigh Bodden to slot and nickel duty and let Bailey play opposite of Devin McCourty. I don't know what his thoughts about New England and the Patriots are but I would guess there is a snowball's chance in hell that he stays in that abyss Denver turned into. If his demands lie anywhere near reasonable, bust ass and bring him here.
Yes, let's have a guy who would count over 5 million dollars against the cao next season as our Slot Corner.. That makes a LOT of sense..

Rice def could be going somewhere. They didnt franchise him and he will be a UFA when the CBA is finalized. he may sign back with Minnesota, but he will def see what his value would be beforehand. He is a possibility, although if hes gonna want $$ then hes gonna be out of our reach, and his hip problems are a cause for concern. but i like him and Sims-Walker as far as FA WR go.
Kiwi is very interesting but I'd want to check him out very thoroughly, the injury scares me.
