    Nate Clements Franchise Tag Salary Raised Because of New CBA

    Per Espn: http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2362994

    It's not clear exactly what Williams' tender would have been, but Nate Clements, who was franchised by the Bills, will have his tender increased by $1.3 million, to roughly $7.22 million, by the recalculation.

    That accounts for part of the difference between claytons and clumps numbers. The rest could be the tendered amounts went up as well

            It is kind of unfair to change the amount of the franchise tags after teams had already designated them

              If this is indeed fact.. Do you realize that two players, Clements and Moulds now currently take up about 17% of the team's 2006 , $102 million salary cap?

              One guy got franchised on his rep and "upside" (it sure as hell wasnt for his 2005) and the other guy arguably isn't even the number one receiver on the team!

                The new CBA calls for the values of the previous year's franchise and transition tenders to be used in calculating this year's tenders.
                That's just plain BS...Ralph's right-in the long run the owners are going to realize that they should have been tougher and negotiated more, instead of wiilingly bending over the tailgate for the NFLPA.

                    I totally agree. If the Bills knew that it was going to be over $7 million for his cap hit this year, they might not have tagged him. That's way too much for a guy like him.

                        It will be great though if it leads to a long term deal.

                          Does the new CBA mean extend or trade Clements?

                          If true, I would offer him something attractive and viable. Right now, his last numbers puts him inside the top 10 CB and it's a great chance to extend him and make him finish his career in Buffalo.
                          CBs like him are really difficult to achieve and remember that people like him can finish his last seasons as safety if necessary.

                            Bills can remove the tag if they wish and regain $7.276 million cap space

                            I doubt they will though
