All: The new Billszone site with the updated software is scheduled to be turned on Tuesday, May 21, 2024. The company that built it, Dynascale, estimates a FOUR HOUR shut down, from 8pm Pacific, (5pm Eastern) while they get it up and running. Nobody will be able to post in any forum until they are done. Afterwards, you may need to do a web search for the site, as old links will not work, because the site is getting a new IP address. Please be patient. If there are bugs, we will tackle them one at a time. Remember the goal is to be up and running with no glitches by camp. Doing this now assures us of that, because it gives us all summer to get our ducks in a row. Thank you!
There is work to be done and things to be learned. We are going to try to get the old look back - or something close to it. We also know there are bugs. A thread will be started to report bugs and then we can pass those onto the host.
Thank you for all the patience and support with this - hopefully this will greatly reduce the crashes and other site issues we have had lately.
Please use this thread to report any issues you come across

Clements Deal Actually 7 years $64 Million Not 8 Years $80 Million
Matt Maiocco, of the Santa Rosa Press Democrat, reports San Francisco 49ers CB Nate Clements' contract was a seven-year deal worth $64 million, not the eight-year deal worth $80 million that had been previously reported.

It's barely better. Instead of the deal averaging (not that he'd have seen the end of either deal) $10M, it's $9.14M. But he still gets $22M in guaranteed money. Still WAY not worth it.

Everyone want's to pretend that it didn't happen around here.
If you're talking about last off-season, either no one wanted to trade for him OR the Bills didn't want to trade him. I was hoping someone would step-up, but apparently no one wanted an overrated CB who wanted Champ Bailey money, much less for a 1st rounder.

Sorry, but there is no way to defend this.
Marv made a "gentleman's agreement" that he wouldn't franchise Clements again.
If he didn't do that, either Clements would still be on our roster for around $8 million, or we would have traded him and gotten some compensation for a player who's highly valued around the league.
I agree that the guy is overrated, but he's still better than Webster/Thomas/Youboty and we still lost a guy that someone thought was worth $64 million with no compensation.
Even if no one was willing to give up a first for him, maybe we could have gotten a 2nd rounder or some LB depth or the DT we sorely need or a true #2 WR or a receiving TE....

Op i agree with you but ive seen it posted to many times....anyone who thinks getting nothing for clements was a good thing is stupid, but marv did make an agreement and i respect that he did keep it and i believe alot of players do. When was last time you could trust a GM. i wish we got something for clements but its in the past and if your gonna cry about something in the past, lets cry about everything. WIDERIGHT....homerun throwback.....4 straight SB loses. Its all stuff that cant be changed now so your *****ing means nothing. so deal with it like all of us have and move on...but i did agree with you

he was defending marv's action- he was wrong to defend the action.
As far as *****ing- what you call "*****ing" I call "evaluating". Wide right, the home run throwback- all that stuff is completely disconnected from the team now. However, Marv is still GM and he's the one responsible for the Clements move. Therefore, it's still extremely relevant.
