Lance Briggs will most likely be franchised per Sirrius.

[HHURRICANE]

Just heard that the rumor out of Chicago is a franchise tag for Mr. Briggs. Maybe time to think about re-signing Clements. Maybe paying #1 money for a top 6 corner is stupid but it's better than having a top 25 corner playing with a scrub LB.

What did Sirius report though?

Cato June is still available and top on my list.

Cato June would be a lateral move.

Re: Lance Briggs will most likely be franchised per Sirrius.

No matter what they do this off-season people will be pissed. Personally, if signing Clements should still be on the list of things to do. Whether or not it actually happens is another topic, but to completely rule it out is foolish. I don't see how Youboty could be his replacement. Nobody has really seen him play. And considering how often I saw McGee get toasted this past season, it worries me to think it will be McGee and Youboty.

Briggs was statistically good and yet somehow annoymous on Sunday

June would be no better than Ellison.

If we are going to make the LB corp younger and bigger, we might want to look at Napolean Harris 6ft2 and 255lbs and only 27 in the middle and then draft early in Day1 - Timmons, Posluzny, or Willis. Even if we cut TKO that would give us youth, talent and depth

If not Briggs then i want Boss Bailey.

That's perfect logic. I'm serious. It's what I've been saying.

I was willing to let Clements walk based on us bringing talent in other places. If there is nobody that significantly upgrades us at another position than re-signing Clements makes sense. Plus I'd have his ass returning punts like he used to.

Clements is NOT a need. You do NOT need top CB's playing the cover 2.

You don't see how yobotay can be his replacement, but then you say no one has really seen him play, including you. So how can you say he can't be clements replacement?

I see us signing a mid tier guy like nick harper to come in and compete with Yo for the job.

Top flight corners 1) arent' worth taking up about 1/10th of your cap on one player and 2) not a need in the cover 2

Ok lets get this out of the way Poslunzny is NOT going to be a good NFL QB. During the SR bowl week he looked AWFUL! he isn't athletic, slow etc. This was linked at some point during that week.

If anything you leave OLB alone and draft P willis or the kid from Florida to play ILB for us.

Unless I'm missing something he has only played a handful of plays in the NFL. That's a pretty big risk going into next season.

This is the counter argument that I have been pitching. Youboty will be a fine corner but not an improvement over Clements. If the Bills aren't making a major upgrade at LB, DT or DE than we just took a step backwards. PERIOD.
