The timing was never right for Hall of Fame cornerback Champ Bailey to return to the Washington Commanders as an alumnus, despite the efforts of some in the organization. But in Josh Harris’ first game as the team’s new owner Sunday against the Cardinals, Bailey will highlight the alumni returning to Washington.
“Now for several reasons it feels like the perfect time to show up and become part of the franchise again,” Bailey said. “I’ve been wanting this for years. Timing is everything.”
Bailey will be honored as Washington’s Legend of Game and said he will serve as an honorary captain.
