Just heard that the rumor out of Chicago is a franchise tag for Mr. Briggs. Maybe time to think about re-signing Clements. Maybe paying #1 money for a top 6 corner is stupid but it's better than having a top 25 corner playing with a scrub LB.

****.
What did Sirius report though?
I remember that one fateful day when Coach took me aside. I knew what was coming. "You don't have to tell me," I said. "I'm off the team, aren't I?"
"Well," said Coach, "you never were really ON the team. You made that uniform you're wearing out of rags and towels, and your helmet is a toy space helmet.
You show up at practice and then either steal the ball and make us chase you to get it back, or you try to tackle people at inappropriate times."
It was all true what he was saying. And yet, I thought something is brewing inside the head of this Coach.
He sees something in me, some kind of raw talent that he can mold. But that's when I felt the handcuffs go on.
Cato June is still available and top on my list.
Cato June would be a lateral move.

No matter what they do this off-season people will be pissed. Personally, if signing Clements should still be on the list of things to do. Whether or not it actually happens is another topic, but to completely rule it out is foolish. I don't see how Youboty could be his replacement. Nobody has really seen him play. And considering how often I saw McGee get toasted this past season, it worries me to think it will be McGee and Youboty.

June would be no better than Ellison.
If we are going to make the LB corp younger and bigger, we might want to look at Napolean Harris 6ft2 and 255lbs and only 27 in the middle and then draft early in Day1 - Timmons, Posluzny, or Willis. Even if we cut TKO that would give us youth, talent and depth
If not Briggs then i want Boss Bailey.
That's perfect logic. I'm serious. It's what I've been saying.
Resign our own guys!
I was willing to let Clements walk based on us bringing talent in other places. If there is nobody that significantly upgrades us at another position than re-signing Clements makes sense. Plus I'd have his ass returning punts like he used to.
Clements is NOT a need. You do NOT need top CB's playing the cover 2.
You don't see how yobotay can be his replacement, but then you say no one has really seen him play, including you. So how can you say he can't be clements replacement?
I see us signing a mid tier guy like nick harper to come in and compete with Yo for the job.
Top flight corners 1) arent' worth taking up about 1/10th of your cap on one player and 2) not a need in the cover 2
Ok lets get this out of the way Poslunzny is NOT going to be a good NFL QB. During the SR bowl week he looked AWFUL! he isn't athletic, slow etc. This was linked at some point during that week.
If anything you leave OLB alone and draft P willis or the kid from Florida to play ILB for us.
Unless I'm missing something he has only played a handful of plays in the NFL. That's a pretty big risk going into next season.
Word.
This is the counter argument that I have been pitching. Youboty will be a fine corner but not an improvement over Clements. If the Bills aren't making a major upgrade at LB, DT or DE than we just took a step backwards. PERIOD.
And Winfield and clements played none but started as rookies. Yobotay has the size, athleticism and speed needed to play CB in the NFL plus his background of also being from OSU. So he will have about a full year in our system vs winfield and clements being rookie starters.
I have no issue with giving him every chance to show what he can do.
Posluzny doesn't play QB
At LB many coaches say that while he never performs well in Senior Bowl type workouts he is a player with instincts and intelligence, the intangibles to become a very good player. How many NFL top players have never look good in tests? How many LBs have to run a 40yds dash in the Pros?
I was watching NFLN Sun morning and they were talking about the Bears CB's and deion. Mooch said 'This is not (hugging deion) a cover 2 corner'. What he meant was you don't need great CB's for the cover 2.
signing clements is a waste of money.
I don't have a problem with him starting. It was a draft pick that I really liked last year. I just think it's a risk to throw him in the starting lineup considering that they plan on upgrading a good portion of the D.
DOH LOL Meant LBYeah instincts, tough etc...and very slow and unathletic. I am not talking about combine here, I am talking about live practices with NFL coaches and he didn't look good.
