Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 I think they can. Most likely Clements will leave Buffalo and we will need a #1 cornerback. Samuel would be a great fit. He might cost a lot, but if Clements leave, we must go after him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IDBillzFan Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 What makes you think Samuels will cost any less than Clements? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DrDawkinstein Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 explain why we would be able to sign Samuels and not Clements? theyre both going to get about the same money. maybe even more for Samuels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cornerville Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 That is a big no. The facts are in: Buffalo is becoming the Oakland A's of the NFL, in a money sense...again, not completely at that level yet, but becoming. Success will have to come from the draft and good, solid, low budget moves, plus good coaching. Success can happen for Buffalo, but it will be tough, and it will get tougher as the new CBA rewards the big boys more and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Everything will depend on the qualifiers committee meeting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I fully agree, but I also think that Ralph has/makes enough money to sign at least 1 big time free agent. Btw, based on what you said wrt draft picks, do you favor trading down in principle?

Captain Hindsight Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Samual would be awsome, but i highly doubt it will happen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JAMIEBUF12 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 NO ITS NOT POSSIBLE because assante samuels can still play! we are only allowed to sign washed up overpriced ex patriots that bill belechek can't use anymore.aka lawyer milloy lol loloh wait that was the td regime maybe marv can sign assante.i would still rather sign our own players though i say sign nate.go bills in"07 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marauderswr80 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Makes no sense! If you target Samuel in the FA market you may aswell keep Clements whos used to playing with this defense. To me it makes ZERO sense. Although, If Clements walked Id love to get Samuel dont get me wrong........ It just dont make sense to let Clements walk if they want to sign Samuel in place of him. I have a gut feeling after that Colts game Samuel's price tag has gone up a few more pennies. Being a stud in the regular season is one thing but shutting down Marvin Harrison in the AFC Championship game and picking of Peyton Manning and taking it to the house for a TD is another...... I think both Clements and Samuel will leave their respective teams, but I could see Samuel getting more money due to more INT's....I think Clements is slightly better then Samuel. They are close in talent though. If Samuel signs first thats about what Clements is going to get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kuile Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Only if Samuel takes a lot less money. Here is the problem: the Redskins really, really want Nate. They will pay a lot for him, too, so we would have to hope Samuel does not want that much. Even though, I think he will. The 'Skins like our D players more than Tom Brady likes dating super models — and that's a lot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boatdrinks Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 explain why we would be able to sign Samuels and not Clements? theyre both going to get about the same money. maybe even more for Samuels. It's all about value. For the same or similar money, Samuel is an upgrade from Clements. He makes big plays at critical moments and rarely takes dumb penalties. Would be an excellent signing, but I truly think the target area needs to be the DL and LB. Then the Oline. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ray Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Why would they be able to sign someone who will cost MORE than Nate? He is going to the Pro Bowl and led the league in int's. I don't understand that logic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What, beyond speculation, is there to confirm this? They had Champ Bailey, for crying out loud. I'm not saying they won't make an offer, and a big one, to Nate. But there is no real evidence. It's all hearsay at this point. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BUFFALOTONE Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Not going to happen, get the thought out of your mind. He will command more than Nate and is a South Florida boy. I bet Tampa or Miami makes a serious run at him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RuntheDamnBall Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 And now they don't Thats why My point was, they could have had the best and paid him less a couple years ago. They didn't. So why is their approach suddenly different now? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oneonta Buffalo Fan Posted January 24, 2007 Author Share Posted January 24, 2007 I agree that we most likely won't get him. He'll most likely ask for more money, than Clements wants us to pay him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
