After failing to make the Saints roster for Week 1, 15-year, 12-time Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey apparently didnt give a thought to retiring, especially now that his agent says Bailey is fully healthy. The Lions reportedly want to see exactly what that means, because according to team reporter Tim Twentyman, Bailey is working out for Detroit on Thursday. Bailey is one of the best cornerbacks of his generation, but after spending most of last season dealing with a foot injury and after not playing particularly well when he was on the field, the Broncos released him after the Super Bowl. That led Bailey to New Orleans where he again was hampered by a bum foot. He played in the teams final preseason game, but he apparently didnt convince the Saints that they couldnt live without him. Even though Ive played 15 years, it doesnt matter, Bailey said recently. Man, this is a production business. I think every guy going into training camp has to show what he can do. And, you know, I feel good. If they like what I do, then Ill play a lot on Sundays. Plain and simple. The Lions, who only have five cornerbacks on the roster at the moment, appear ready to give him another shot at trying.
