scribo Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 I wish we could have kept him, but I am really, really glad we didn't pay that much for him. Of course, it is an 8-year contract, which means there is no way he will ever play the whole thing out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ExWNYer Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 So says the scroll on NFL Network. The report is being attributed to Adam Schefter. Good. The thought of him in a Deadskins uniform made me ill. I can't stand Snyder and his monopoly money tactics. Good luck and thanks for the memories, Nate.

TDRupp Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Thank God we didn't sign him for that much. He's a great player, but jesus. jesus? No! He is worth more than money. Nate is a very good player just hope Marv's hex does not get him like back in the good old days when he was coach. N Odames, Ballard, ....can't remember them all but sure enough most all got hurt and/or flopped except W Wolford! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ACor58 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 If I were Champ Bailey or Chris McAllister I would be holding out for more money now, since they are better than he is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stinky finger Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Wow.....what a deal. San Fran is on its way to good things. But that contract.....sheesh!! Anyway, thanks Nate...godspeed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 If I were Champ Bailey or Chris McAllister I would be holding out for more money now, since they are better than he is. It has been a foregone conclusion that someone would really break the bank with this new larger-than-life salary cap. I guess that someone is Nate and the Niners. Now, how does it affect the rest of the league? It is not really good for us since we need a corner now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck and thanks for the memories, Nate. Foreskins are feeling a cap pinch. After they cut some players they're looking at being around $9M under the cap But now Pay later Win never Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beefed up line vs. a CB who was full of baloney for most of his tenure as a Bill. If there is anything the Bills are good at it is drafting CBs. (I don't want a 1st rounder this time around, though) Probable MLB in first Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1billsfan Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 Wow, that's outrageous for a player that's barely in the top five at his position. John Clayton said that whatever contract Clements signs that he'd be worth every penny. I don't know how many pennies make up 10 million a season and I could be out on a limb here, but I don't think that 4 interceptions and a touchdown return per season adds up to worth every penny status. I guess that San Francisco forgot what got them in trouble and into the "cap hell" years. I can't believe that Nate Clements is now the highest paid player in NFL history! That's just silly! I can't stop shaking my head in disbelief...Nate Clements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C.Biscuit97 Posted March 3, 2007 Share Posted March 3, 2007 $80M - $22 GuaranteedHighest paid Defensive player in NFL history! San Fran is an expensive city you know. Good for Nate. He's a good football player and worked hard to put himself in a great position. However, you don't win championships with cornerbacks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
