MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Thats not really that much money, but I'm suprised Brian Williams got that much. I dont see how this effects Nate Clements signing a long term deal. Nate Clements is gonna get more then Brian Williams regardless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark Vader Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Knowing Nate, he probably WANTS more than Champ Bailey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's said on numerous ocassions that he wants to be the highest paid CB in the league and even stood by it after the season was over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Jokeman Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 Uhh, he does. He's said on numerous ocassions that he wants to be the highest paid CB in the league and even stood by it after the season was over. 624973[/snapback] All the more reason to hope he signs a one year tender and draft Michael Huff. As Huff can man the SS spot as a rookie and we can shift him to CB if we can't agree to terms for a long term contract with Nate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TC in St. Louis Posted March 12, 2006 Share Posted March 12, 2006 It doesn't matter what Nate thinks. What matters is what the market will bear for an above average corner coming off a bad year. How can he expect to be the top paid corner in the league when he didn't even make it as an ALTERNATE to the Pro Bowl? He's not in the top 8.

His stats match up to the best in the league. I used Bailey cause a lot of people seem to think he's the consensus best. Looking at the stats to me they seem pretty even excpet in the playmaking catagory. It can be argued that Clements is a bigger playmaker then Bailey. As his 6 more forced fumbles and 2 more tds in 2 less seasons can atest to. Clements will be paid and paid big time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The major fear we might have is that a miffed player simply mails it in. However, everyvody including NC has to admit that this past season was disappointing after getting a Pro Bowl nod. he simply cannot afford to play his hardest next year in what will be a contract year.
