Nate Clements on Trading Block
According to Fox Sports, Bills' CB Nate Clements is on the trading block. He's young, he's very good, he knows Williams' defense, and he's a great distraction from our current sorry state of affairs.
Discuss how idiotic/brilliant it would be to even consider signing this guy. |

maybe a good idea, maybe bad...maybe him and Vincent work well as a team..if he was cheap he'd be worth a shot i would guess....

Re: Nate Clements on Trading Block
The Bills will probably want a 1st rounder. Moreover, Clements will likely want a new deal (as he is a FA next year). So, whoever brought this idea up is an idiot.

Re: Nate Clements on Trading Block
Coudn't hurt to bring him in -- there's no place for this secondary to go but up.
Also, notice how the cries for Ade Jimoh seem to have died down after getting beaten for the first TD on Sunday? Funny how that works. |

Re: Nate Clements on Trading Block
We are in hell back there in the secondary, and if Clements is available and all it would take is a number one draft choice, I think that it is worth it.
If we can get stabilized back there, it will change the character of the team I think. We can go back to being aggressive on defense. If he had been on the team at the beginning of the year, we would have perhaps been able to win two of the games we have lost. Sign him now for a number one and get him under a long term contract. |

Re: Nate Clements on Trading Block
Even though it is extremely unlikely that we would have any interest in the matter, I brought it up because he's such a good, young talent and we have so many problems on defense.

Re: Nate Clements on Trading Block
w/our front office its never out of the question. while i disagree w/a lot of our trades, we could really use him. If they really want to move him because they think he won't re sign, then maybe we could get him relatively cheap. Of course that's not usually how we do it.

Re: Nate Clements on Trading Block
I'd wait until after the season when he's a free agent. If we could get him he would be Springs replacement after he retires, and Rogers could go back to being a #2.

Re: Nate Clements on Trading Block
Springs is old and Rogers is rapidly becoming a bust. So I say why not? I would really hate to give up another pick for him but he is probably better than any CB we could get from the college ranks in April's draft.
