It took Champ Bailey a long time to reach his first Super Bowl, and it might take him some time to make people forget his recent form.

But that hasn’t kept him from looking for another chance.

According to Adam Schefter of ESPN, the veteran cornerback is visiting the Saints, and may have another trip lined up, depending on the negotiations.

The Broncos couldn’t find enough nice things to say about him, but they also couldn’t get out of paying him $10 million next year fast enough either.

The 35-year-old Bailey has expressed a willingness to play some safety if need be (though the Saints are covered there), and his presence alone should help a team. But a foot injury and the inevitability of aging made him look like a different player last year.
