Champ's contract talks off the table until the end of the season.

[Dagmar]

Josina tweet from his agent.

Champ Bailey's agent:

"Apparently there won't be any further discussions about Champ's contract until at least after the season. This is not our choice. This is a choice by the #Broncos. We'll respect that and move on if we have to." --Jack Reale, Champ Bailey's agent

Then Josina adds her opinion.

RT @Justin_Letto: @JosinaAnderson should bronco fans be concerned?
Yes. Tension is there, it could go away. We'll see.

Shut up Josina.

Well this should make it much easier for McDaniels to fill his quota of pro bowlers that have to leave the team each season.

[Rabb]

there is probably no tension, it's just hyperbole from the moron again

it'll get done

My shirts need ironing, and that pie isn't going to bake itself. Not that it has anything to do with this thread. Just sayin.

[BMarsh615]

If Champ doesn't get resigned I will probably just give up on following the Broncos until McDaniels gets fired.

You'll be missed.

In other news. Manning still doesn't have a new contract.

Tension is there. It could go away. We'll see.

[TheElusiveKyleOrton]

Curious. Has anyone else reported this, or is it just Josina?

Three words. Collective. Bargaining. Agreement. I'm surprised all 32 teams aren't saying the same thing about every player.

Broncos break off contract talks with Champ Bailey until offseason
Posted by Gregg Rosenthal on October 7, 2010 5:19 PM ET
A report surfaced in the Denver Post this week that the Broncos and cornerback Champ Bailey had renewed talks on a long-term contract.

According to Bailey's agent Jack Reale, those talks didn't last long.

Josina Anderson of FOX 31 in Denver reports the Broncos broke off talks until the season is over.

"Apparently there won't be any further discussions about Champ's contract until at least after the season. This is not our choice. This is a choice by the Broncos. We'll respect that and move on if we have to," Real said.

Because of his age -- 32 -- Bailey's next contract will be tricky. He's earning $9.5 million this year and then will become a free agent. The Broncos, like the Patriots, probably aren't big fans of agents negotiating through the media.

"I am disappointed because I want to be here,'' Bailey told Mike Klis of the Denver Post. "We know that, they know that. What's the issue here, really?''

Broncos pull out of contract negotiations with Champ Bailey

Champ Bailey. (Andy Cross, The Denver Post)

Just as a contract extension with star cornerback Champ Bailey was drawing near, the Broncos decided to pull out of negotiations.

The move increases the possibility that Bailey is playing in his final season with the Broncos.

"I am disappointed because I want to be here," Bailey said. "We know that, they know that. What's the issue here, really?"

In the final season of a seven-year contract, Bailey, 32, can become an unrestricted free agent at the end of the season.

The Broncos and Bailey's agent, Jack Reale, were close to hashing out a four-year contract extension that would have kept the 9-time Pro Bowler under the team's control through 2014.

Bailey said he wasn't crazy about the deal but was willing to take it because he wanted to stay in Denver.

But after submitting an offer to Bailey late last week, the Broncos said Tuesday they were postponing talks.

"We were scheduled for a discussion on the contract offer they had recently e-mailed me," Reale said. "Before we had a chance for discussion, I received a call saying they wanted to put it off and wait until the end of the season. That is certainly their option and while not pleased, since no player likes playing in the last year of his contract, we respect their right to pursue that approach.

"Champ will do what he always does. Play hard, give 100 percent, keep quiet and lead this team."

It's possible the Broncos could retain Bailey with the franchise tag next year but that salary figures to be in excess of $10 million.

The move is especially surprising because the Broncos signed restricted free agents Elvis Dumervil, Chris Kuper and Kyle Orton to contract extensions.

Broncos coach Josh McDaniels talked to Bailey personally this week and said he still hopes a deal can be worked out later.

"My mindset is I want to win," Bailey said. "That's my approach every year. I'm a competitive person and this is no different. I owe it to the guys in the locker room."

He'll get resigned, relax.

[TheElusiveKyleOrton]

Um...

"Bailey said he wasn't crazy about the deal but was willing to take it because he wanted to stay in Denver."

He was willing to take it, but he didn't take it.

Wha?
