TSNBDSC Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 ... (correct me if i'm wrong) but two first round picks from a team who signs Clements next year (i guess depending if we tag him or something like that) sounds REALLY good after yesterdays game ...

JimBob2232 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 Its one year. Regardless of how bad clements looked yesterday, he is still a top corner in this league and WILL get a big contract in FA. Tag the guy and try to trade him. My guess is we can get a late first/early 2nd for clements. If he has to stay and play out his franchise tag, there are worse things that could happen.

And yes, 2 first rounders are the compensation awarded to franchise tagged FA's if we decide not to match, but no one gets that lucky! More than likely if someone wants him they will negotiate the trade parameters before signing Clements. A 1st rounder would be a coup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one would trade for him and the Franchise contract he signed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ch19079 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 if we franchise Clements, NO team will sign him. because they would have to give us 2 1st rounders. what is much more common, is that we frachise him, then trade him to a team in exchange for one 1st rounder. (the colts and seahawlks were only asking for a 2nd rounder for thier franchised RBs). Clements will be the best CB in FA this off season. we should resign him. but if we dont, we will work out a trade for a 1st rounder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think he is better than average but not top. Makes too many mistakes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
