The Broncos added another Pro Bowler on Thursday.
Champ Bailey is headed to Honolulu to replace Nnamdi Asomugha at cornerback on the AFC roster. Bailey’s 10th trip to the Pro Bowl marks the most in league history by a cornerback.
He joins fellow Bronco Brandon Lloyd on the squad, marking the 22nd consecutive year the Broncos have had multiple Pro Bowlers.
This season, Bailey accumulated 45 tackles, a sack, two interceptions and 13 pass breakups. His campaign highlights include holding Chiefs receiver Dwayne Bowe without a catch and keeping Cardinals wideout Larry Fitzgerald out of the end zone while breaking up two passes intended for him and drawing an offensive holding penalty against the receiver.
The now 10-time Pro Bowler and member of the NFL All-Decade team for the 2000s is currently tied for sixth all-time among Broncos players with 30 interceptions with the club. His 48 career interceptions are tops among cornerbacks and third among all players in the NFL since his rookie season in 1999.
Bailey is tied for fifth in team history with six Pro Bowl selections as a Bronco.

Champ Baily is the best Corner EVER…..all i want for my Bday is for us to sign him back lol
It was a long year and I try and blog as much as I can but work is strenuous lol but broncos for life is all I have to say Tebow did better then jerks like me thought he would do ….
does anyone know what other players contracts have run out?
sndvl has got it right as usual, it was just an observation I made brought to my mind by the fact that two years ago at the same time this blog was going nuts over Cutler and Marshall going to the pro bowl and this year same time, hardly anyone bothers saying anything about Lloyd and Bailey going, that’s all, it’s as if the fan base has completely changed, the Cutler/Marshall dudes kept clamoring abbout their dudes and the current fans who are left have trouble finding players that excite them to that extent, it’s a fact, I’m not making it up, I follow the blog, it is what it is, just pointed it out.
Fans are hesitent because both champ and Brandon L are free agents. 4-12 didn’t help either.
SIGN CHAMP!!
Tim Tebow is the Chosen one first of all I got mad respect for B lloyd And we all know that champ is the best, We would get behind our players allot more if we had a better season The only spark of life i saw all year was Tebow ghettin the team to rally for the last three games
Come on John, sign the Man all ready….
Congratulations CHAMP!
The fan base has changed considerably for sure. I have been a Bronco lover since my Youth in S East Co and I can tell you that even though I still bleed Blue and Orange, this is the first season I was ever ashamed of the Team as a whole. I have never wished ill on anyone, but I must admit my extreme jubilation in regard to the anouncement of J McD getting fired…Now to hear the jeering about whether mr. Elway can restore and repair the extensive damage that has been wrought upon this storied and regal franchise, it is difficult. We have always stood fast with our guys, through it all… This is worse than a 55-10 SB loss… It really hurts.
I do believe in Tebow. I saw a glimmer of Mile High Magic in his desire and it gave me hope, gave us all hope. I want so bad to believe again…
champ is a champ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!… he is just awesome
