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's no way Donahoe will let him walk for free. You find the cap space to get under the cap to franchise him if needed.
I really hope we keep him around. He is one of them blue chip keepers who deserves the cap space.
I didn't care about Price, Winfield or Williams. They wern't worth the money they got. Clements is though.
You can only build your team around a core group of guys who will get the mega bucks. Clements is one of them guys.
I really agree here. If you were to pick one top player on this squad, one blue chipper many would go with Clements and of course TKO. McGahee? Maybe next year or the year after but Clements and TKO are now. You just cant let Clements walk, it could be disastrous.
Willis will hold out if he has an avg/above avg season (which he undoubtedly will), esp w/ that dick of an agent.
I think getting rid of Clements is probably going to happen, and it's scary because Milloy, Vincent, and many of our current studs on D aren't getting any younger. Sure, we have McGee and King and a few others, but are they as dominant as NC? NO! And who's to say that McGee or King won't become the same type of player NC is and won't hold out or want out of BLO in their own right?
Him leaving signals the slow painful decline of this defense especially if the other young corners on the team don't pan out, IMO.
Remember, McGee as a coverage man made quite a few bonehead plays last year. This is his year to prove himself as a corner. King is still a year or two away from being even an avg or top corner. I think this year is a pretty good glimpse into the future of this D. If King and McGee show improvement and prove they are reliable, NC is gone... if they drop the ball, I think the Bills try to bring him back.
If Nate wants a 7 year 70 million dollar contract (Bailey last year received a 7 year 63 million) we need to let him walk. Only an elite quarterback deserves that kind of money. I would offer him a 6 year 40 million dollar contact (12 million in bonus) and if that isn't good enough of him, we can move Vincent back to corner. We could use the franchise tag and trade him, but that is a risk because a team might not offer a first rounder to us i.e. James and Alexander this year. To keep him with a Franchise tag would cost us a 10+ million dollar cap hit next year.
I didn't care about Price, Winfield or Williams. They wern't worth the money they got. Clements is though.
Must be smoking over there, letting winfield get away is about the worst decision in the last 15 years. Along with giving rob johnson that contract, paying Bruce smith into his useless bad knees years, and a handful of others.
Clements is half of likely the best cornerback tandem in the league, so lets not make that mistake again. And though he is one of the top 5, Winfield was better.
I would say is better, but I dont make a habit of watching vikings games, so who knows, maybe he did a Warren Sapp out there.
While venting here....Its a sad thing what happened to henry, hes the only offensive star to put out 100% every night and he gets shafted.
He has much faster speed to the hole than magahee, just like Kenneth Davis had more speed to the hole than Thurman, and there they benched the better runner too.

I don't think Clements is worth shelling out the top CB salary in the league and if that's what he insists on, he might not even get tagged. The Bill's record with CB's tells me that we will draft one and plug in a veteran as a stop-gap. League trends show CB's moving all over the place for that big payday.
