London Fletcher is a FA after this season- consider the following:
-he's on the wrong side of 30
-he's horrible in pass coverage and the Bills' Tampa 2 system requires the MLB to cover the middle of the field in passing situations
-his agent is Drew Rosenhaus
At this point, it seems unlikely that he'll be back, and I don't know if anyone else on our roster is good enough to step up for him. Possibly Ellison, but Ellison has mostly been used as an outside LB.
And onto the cornerback situation.
As most of you know, I've been a big proponent of getting rid of Clements and his salary for a long time. That was partially because I thought McGee was better and would be fine as a #1 CB. But he's shown some SERIOUS weaknesses this year, particularly over the past 3 games. Keep in mind I'm not just *****ing about 1 or 2 plays here- he has been a weak link at CB for most of this season.
I still don't think Clements is worth the money he will command, but now we also have to consider that McGee isn't good enough to cover #1 receivers. So we will either have to find another #1 CB or fork over a fortune to Clements and hose the team's ability to address some of the other flaws.
