BillsGuyInMalta Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Basically, this is the unofficial "Franchise tag is coming" notification. Sorry to all of those other NFL teams who were hoping to get Nate in FA...looks like they'll have to give up something if they want "The Playmaker".

Honestly, I'm not a big fan of Nate...I think he gets burned far too often and takes credit for a lot of things he's just generally supposed to do as a starting CB. Scanning over the FA list, there a couple of guys I think we coud sign who would step right into the starting spot, and save us some cash we could use towards improving our O-Line or interior D-Line.

ACor58 Posted February 13, 2006 Author Share Posted February 13, 2006 The Giants are probably going to lose Will Allen via Free Agency. Would anyone be willing to let Nate go and try signing Allen for a cheaper price? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RkFast Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Cornerbacks are medicore WRs who didnt have the "hands" to cut it at their postion. We really dont need linemen. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SnakeOiler Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 Question -- that article states: "If Clements is offered a minimum of the average of the top five salaries of last season at his position, or 120 percent of the player's previous year's salary, he becomes a "non-exclusive" franchise player and can negotiate with other clubs. The Bills can match a new club's offer, or receive two first-round draft choices if it decides not to match." 2 first round picks?? Anyone know how that works? Is it just two total (i.e, one pick in addition to the one we already have)? I assume we would get the pick of the team that signs him, correct?

Say the Giants sign his franchise tender and give him a long-term deal, we get their first rounder this year and next. However, the Bills can simply franchise him and trade him for whatever deal they can get, much like they did with Peerless. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scribo Posted February 13, 2006 Share Posted February 13, 2006 "We would like to have him back and I know Dick Jauron has expressed the same," Levy said. "I think he's a talented player who can get better." He better... The deadline for the Bills to designate a franchise or transition player is 4 p.m. ET on Feb. 23.
