He was named All-Rookie by ESPN.com and Football Digest with Detroit in 2003 when he set a career high with 88 tackles (77 solo) as a 16-game starter. After missing the 2004 season with a knee injury, Bailey started all 11 games played in 2005 and had 58 tackles, one sack and one interception, which he returned 34 yards for a touchdown.

[edit] Denver Broncos

On March 6, 2008, Boss signed a five-year contract worth $17.5 million that includes $8 million in guarantees over the first two seasons. Performance in the last two years of the deal could make the total package worth $20.5 million.

The Baileys were the third pair of brothers to play for the Broncos, and will join Dave and Doug Widell (1990-92) and Eldon and William Danenhauer (1960) as the only brothers to play for the franchise at the same time.

He was later released on June 17, 2009.

Madden 10 Rosters as of Tuesday, July 21, 2009 had Bailey listed on the Denver Broncos Roster. He will be removed from the Broncos' roster in the first roster update.^[1]
