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!
Even at $5.8 when you can sign someone decent for about $2.5-3 and use the surplus to plug another spot?
Personally, I'd rather drop $5.8 on someone who gets after the QB all the time. A corner is only as good as his front seven.. Look at the Giants, their secondary stunk but they got after the QB so often it didnt matter (until Steve Smith ate them alive)
I dont think you can sign someone of Nate's quality for the same money. That's not my stance..
My stance is I'd rather spend less at his CB position ( I LOVED the way Mcgee came on last year at corner).. and spend MORE on a big-time Defensive lineman who make life hell for a QB trying to throw.
you got $8 million to spend on a starting CB AND DE..
Would you rather have Nate at corner and an Anthony Weaver at DE..
Or would you rather have an Ike Taylor and a stud like Aaron Kampman at DE.
that's true tp a certain extent. When the fins had JT and Ogun, they had one of the best passing D (having Surtain didn't hurt either) . When Ogun left, they couldn't do much.
Here are a few guys I"d like to have (NOTE- I'm not saying any are as good as Clements.. My stance again.. Spend MORE money on the INTERIOR sides of the ball)..
DeShea Townsend (Pit)
Jerry Azumah (Chi)
Brian Williams (Minn) -underated and would cost half Nate's price
Ike Taylor got toasted in the Super Bowl... no thanks... every big play Seattle had was against him... sure, he had a pick, after he got burnt 15 times in a row...
I'm all for keeping Nate at a market value price... which I think they can do...
Considering Ithink the bills are gonna dump either Milloy or Vincent if not both keeping Clements would be a priority to keep some sense of continuity in the secondary having 3 new starters as opposed to 1 new starter would be easier to make a transition.
Also, I doubr Clements wants to be franchised and that he wants to get a signing bonus, which means he will sign a long term deal and his first year cap figure would be significantly less than $5mil if the FO knows how to structure the deal properly
