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!
I don't know if anyone else has noted this, but Washington papers are commenting that the Skins are looking to trade #9 overall, and they have Nate Clements on their radar ... this in today's (4/19) paper. (registration required).
Personally ... I'd love it.
what the last four years of a Republican House, Senate and Presidency has gotten us ...
tax cuts for the wealthy in the hundreds of billions
1,000 dead American servicemen
the U.S. Constitution trampled upon
our national debt growing into the TRILLIONS of dollars
implicit lies and consistent obfuscations of the truth regarding Iraq
I can hardly wait to see what four more years will get us.
I also heard on local radio (I'm in DC) that the Skins may trade for Philip Buchanan of the Raiders. Personally, I'd rather keep Clements around for a year than get a draft pick who may or may not succeed in the league. If the Bills brass has a particular player in mind that will be available at #9, it might be worth it, but we already lost Williamsl I don't want to see another hole in the defense that's only going to put more pressure on our young offense.
Also, I don't know why the Redskins are drooling over DB's. They have Spriggs and Taylor and had the #3 defense in the league. They really need help on the offensive side of the ball and young talent to replace their aging players.
I could easily see us moving Nate Clements, sliding Troy Vincent back to DB, and moving down out of #9 to take some combination of a saftey and a lineman. For instance ... trade Nate for #9 ... then trade #9 to San Diego for #12 and 28. San Diego gets the WR they covet, we take Alex Barron and with #28 a safety (Thomas Davis?).
Move Travis to Philly/TB and use #35 to take Spencer/Baas. Then use #55 on Nugent ... and you've completely restocked the team in the secondary, at LT, at C/G and at K. All for one player with appreciable playing time next year ... and that you would have lost the following year anyway.

Interesting thought- if anyone can pull it off, it's TD, but it still seems like wishful thinking. I just think we'd be really hurting in the backfield without Clements. Which reminds me- has Ty Law signed with anyone yet?

Not a bad plan, but seems unlikely. However, this is probably the only scenario where I might be happy taking Nugent at #55...although even then...we might get a better DT at that spot instead...
That seems like a lot to give for a player going into the last year of his contract but we are talking about the Redskins. However, if Henry is traded to Tampa for Ronde Barber then the Redskins trading for Clements makes sense for the Bills. They lose Henry and Clements but gain Barber and the #9 overall pick.
I don't think the 'skins will give up the #9, and frankly I don't think the Bills should want a pick that high in an average draft....The only reason this trade should go through is if they either get Barber from the Bucs or plan on moving Vincent back to CB...Trading Clements for the #9 to SELECT a CB is iditoic, all your doing is downgrading the position and saving money in signing bonus. That's not a proactive way to go about this.....
Now if they somehow get into the first round as a result of this trade, look for them to select a OL like Barron, J. Brown, the tight end Heath Miller, or perhaps a reciever like Williamson or Roddy White
