Several teams are bidding for cornerback Champ Bailey after the Washington Redskins granted the four-time Pro Bowler permission to work out a trade with another club. The Detroit Lions remain one of the most likely destinations for Bailey if he doesn't rejoin the Redskins, according to team and NFL sources.

If true, that's one less CB that'll be an option if Winfield bolts.

Bailey and Bly ... two pro bowl corners. That's a nice backfield.

(I can't believe how well that Bly signing turned out. I thought they were dumb as hell to sign him last offseason.)

Add Bailey with Bly, and Ive seen mockdrafts that have the Lions taking Sean Taylor with there first pick.. Those 3 guys would make an evil secondary..

[elltrain22]

Yes, yes, Champ Bailey & Dre' Bly would form a very dominating defensive secondary for Detroit, but they will still loose a bunch of games in 2004

[BADTHINGSMAN]

Of course they will elltrain, no one is denying they still have to rebuild alot.. My previous post is just stupid, they cant get Taylor and Champ Bailey, Lions will have to deal that 1st rounder to the Skins..

[SABURZFAN]

the Lions have too many other areas of concern to give up a 1st rounder.this draft is deep and they could use every draft pick.there's a cheaper CB available in the free agency to address their need at CB.
