ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Bailey brothers, both former Georgia Bulldogs, are teaming up in Denver. <br />
<br />
The Broncos today signed free agent linebacker Boss Bailey, the younger brother of Pro Bowl cornerback Champ Bailey. <br />
<br />
Boss Bailey spent his first five seasons in Detroit, after being selected in the second round of the 2003 draft. He had a standout career at the University of Georgia, where he followed his older brother as an all-conference selection. <br />
<br />
The 28-year-old linebacker has appeared in 58 games, including 51 starts, and has made 258 tackles, seven sacks and two interceptions. <br />
<br />
The Baileys will be the fourth pair of brothers to play for the Broncos. Dave and Doug Widell (1990-92) and Eldon and William Danenhauer (1960) are the only other brothers to play for the franchise at the same time. <br />
<br />
Boss Bailey will play strong side linebacker in Denver, and D.J. Williams will move back to the weak side after a year in the middle.
