ANTHONY CLEMENT?

An average guard.  He is nothing special and is more of a RG, as he isn't quick enough to play LG.  They are trying to trade him, but he would probably be a backup here.

Right Tackle.

 

Back in '01 the Cards drafted Leonard Davis with the 2nd pick in the draft to supplant LJ Shelton as the LT. Davis has been a bust, playing RG, and filling in at RT when Clement get's hurt. Now it's time for Davis to bail out the front

office, and start producing. His salary is off the charts - 6.6M in '03, 4.8M in '04, 5.8M in '05, and 7M in '06.

 

With the addition of Ross as new RT, both Shelton and Clement will be used to fetch more bodies.

 

The best scenario for the Cards is to trade these highly paid OTs ('05 salaries - 2.4M Clement & 3.0M Shelton) for players making less, that can contribute immediately. Being well under the cap, they'll take draft picks (gave starting CB Duane Starks to the Pats for a 3rd in '05), but would probably prefer experienced players, straight up.

 

Pro Career: At 6–8, 350 pounds, joins fellow offensive lineman Leonard Davis (6–6, 370) as two of the largest players in team history … massive frame and large hands … surprising quickness for his size … along with left tackle L.J. Shelton, forms talented bookend tackle combo for Cardinals … selected in second round (36th overall, fourth tackle chosen) of the 1998 NFL Draft … streak of 45 consecutive starts at right tackle ended in 2002 due to triceps injury.

 

2003: Started all 16 games for third time in past four seasons … impressive play despite off-season rehabilitation from two surgical procedures on right triceps muscle … answered the bell for all 981 offensive plays.

 

Let's put it this way, if the Card's QBs had to throw over a 6'8" guard, no wonder they don't complete too many. :devil:
