Interesting for all the people who say Ralph spends the big bucks.

It's unclear whether Clements can attract a similar offer, but it's likely there will be teams prepared to outbid Buffalo. The small-market franchise might be projected to have plenty of salary-cap space to spend this offseason, but Buffalo's a team that has a history of not holding on to high-priced free agents.

I haven't seen too many people say that about Ralph, but I think this was a foregone conclusion.

Nate is a very good player, but I don't think he's at the level of a Champ Bailey and some team will offer him that type of money or more - and the Bills won't - I think rightly.

Last year was the 1st time in the salary cap era that we weren't close to the cap
anyway

but Buffalo's a team that has a history of not holding on to high-priced free agents.

under Butler we did hold onto free agents...and overpaid for then
under TD..his M.O. was to let free agents get away so as to fill their spots with youth...an M.O. he used it Pittsburgh as well

Re: Clements to Test Free Agency

I'm going out on a limb here, but hypothetically speaking, if clements were given the money by the bills, then he'd probably be the most overpaid cover 2 cornerback of all time.

Re: Clements to Test Free Agency

I dont care what anybody thinks..

Though its doubtful, I hope that we find a way to hold on to him.. He's still young and he's easily a top 10 corner in this league.

He was the best player on the team the second half of this season.. He would solidy the secondary and with a couple of choice FA signings and draft picks, this defense could be rock solid.

Re: Clements to Test Free Agency

You reward players who give it their all....all of the time, not only when they need to get paid....No thanks on average, and overhyped Clements.....




GO BILLS!!!!!!

Re: Clements to Test Free Agency

Overhyped Nate is still better than anybody else that will be starting in his place next season should he go to another team.

Way to state the obvious.

Re: Clements to Test Free Agency

I hope we keep him also. But not for Champ Bailey money or even greater.

I want a Ferrari 599 GTB but for only for 50K. I'm thinking that neither you nor me are getting what we want.

Re: Clements to Test Free Agency

Oh look...Nate's agent is on the phone already...

Re: Clements to Test Free Agency

Not to blow my own horn but I was:

100% RIGHT!!!!

As I kept telling those who thought Nate could be resigned by the Bills his agent would have been a moron not to test free agency because of it being an unprecedented market place.
