    Should the Bills shop Clements?

    The best route the Bills could take as of this moment is to shop their No. 1 cornerback around to see if any team is interested in giving up a late first-round draft choice for him. Teams such as the Tampa Bay Buccaneers at No. 23 overall, the New York Jets at No. 29 overall and the Pittsburgh Steelers with the 32nd choice all may have interest in talking with the Bills.

      The cover two system doesnt need a shut down corner to work. We could pick up a DT or OT late, allowing us to take the best player at 8

          No..while he had a bad year last year, that can be attributed in part to the system. He played off the LOS a good portion of the time, a method which allowed the WRs to get a free release and enabled them a better opportunity to beat the coverage.
          They say that those who don't learn from history are doomed to repeat it. While Antoine Winfield wasn't a Pro Bowler in 2005 for the Vikes, he did bounce back from his poor performance his final season in Buffalo. That final season in Buffalo saw him playing off the LOS almost all the time. Ohio State, as much as it pains me to say this as a Penn State fan, has a history of producing solid CBs for the NFL. While Winfield didn't deserve the money he got in Minnesota, he was certainly good enough for us to attempt to keep. Letting another Ohio State CB go wouldn't be a good move, IMO

            The Bills are worried about the current CBA and some expect Nate to get a satisfactory long term contract with a 12-18 Mil signing bonus ? Riiiiiiiight.

            I'm a huge Ohio St. fan and I'd trade him for seeking a contract far above his true value. He's good but NOT THAT GOOD ! This is a draft loaded with talented CB depth.

            Pick up a first or second round pick and turn the page if you believe he won't sign long term and will be a distraction.

              I dont agree with this at all, bc we are again using the coaches as a scape goat but to each his own. Im prepared to let him go strictly based on his attitude. Especially if he plans to hold out.

                  He didn't show me anything to indicate he's worth 7.2 million a year last year, or the year before for that matter, let alone a 15+ million dollar signing bonus. No way.

                    I don't think shopping Nate is out of the question here. Maybe they move him on draft day for a guy that is drafted in the low 1st (which would be a stretch) or 2nd/3rd round.

                    He is, IMO, very overrated, yet highly regarded around the league. That being said, the Bills should be able to get something of high value for him. Though the way the FO has operated lately, that might be in question.

                    If they want to shop him, the time is now... not 2 or 3 seasons from now. They're already in rebuilding mode, they've cut all ties with a lot of the dead cap-eating wieght on the team, I could see them trying to move him.

                      I do not think Bills should trade Clements to Jets and a lower third pick is too low.

                        Like I said to each his own but I didnt see Nate getting burnt underneath but he did get burnt deep. Also there is still no excuse for his attitude.

                          Re: Should the Bills shop Clements?

                          If he had jammed the WRs at the LOS, they wouldn't have gotten as clean a release and the timing might have been off enough that Clements could've made some kind of play..that's all I'm saying
                          Agreed 100% on the attitude, though

                              To each his own, I dont think he should of gotten burned deep with his speed and his cushion but the WR's do get a head start.
