First of all, to say that Meriweather was our best safety last season is like putting lipstick on a pig. If he played well near the end of last season, I must have missed it. Besides, what did he do to help us win before we lost ten or eleven games?

You can forget about Meriweather because he is as good as gone. Phillip Thomas has a much better chance of becoming our starting SS than Meriweather does.

Clemons is not a SS and he won't be cheap to sign. He is a quality FS who I think could help us but he wouldn't be competing with Meriweather or anyone else if we should be lucky enough to sign him. He would be our starting FS.

Clemons plays both safety positions. The reason I have him at SS is because I had Kendrick Lewis as our FS. As for his salary, the Dolphins had him on a 1 year deal worth 2.75 million. That's in the neighborhood of Meriweather's salary.

To your last sentence in the first paragraph: I'm not sure what you're saying. Are you suggesting that Meriweather is one of the main reasons we lost so many games? Because I maintain that outside of Hall, he was the best DB.
