ESPN: Nate Clements in Redskins' plans?

Nate Clements and Adalius Thomas would both be marvelous signings in my opinion. Springs seemed kinda old when we signed him, but he worked out great.

Use our top 10 pick on a big DT and our second rounder on a safety. Or go get Bob Sanders at S and use a pick on a CB.

He's 27, been in the league 6 years. 6-0, 209, and I hear he likes long walks on the beach, candlelit dinners and cuddling.

Looks like he's grabbed a consistent 3-6 INTs every year, and average 50+ tackles per year.

Personally I think all our offseason investing needs to go into the defense. The offense seems stacked - I'm fine with our WRs, got depth at RB as it is, JC is the QB for the forseeable future, and please God leave the O-line alone to let them gel together even more.

Spend time on the D. A safety to complement Taylor, depth in the secondary period. The D-line needs some help too, and I'm not totally opposed to picking up some LBs.

One thing I noticed about San Diego when they were playing Sunday night is that not only are they amazing on both sides of the ball, but they're relatively young. They're talented on offense and defense, and seem built to last. Tomlinson has a number of good years left in him, Turner is just getting started, Gates is coming into his own, Rivers is just getting started, same with Merriman and Castillo. That's going to be a formidable team for a while if they can keep everyone together.


Hmmm...walks on the Beach, huh?

Not sure if he's a good fit for D.C.....we should pass on this guy!

He likes cuddling though, so I think it all balances out in the end.

Clements sounds like a solid idea. Thomas doesn't. I agree with the assessment that he would not fit well in the GW defense.

I do not like the idea of a free agent DE. Let's not forget, we got one last year. What we need is to sure up the secondary and LB's, and then run the blitzes like we did 2 and 3 years ago when we were a top defense. Those guys will get the pressure when it's not always our front 4 vs their front 5 plus an rb or fb. We expect miracles from these guys and they need the help of the team.

thomas would be good at OLB, though i think he used to be a DE so maybe he would play there, but doubtful since his best years were at LB. clements would be an awesome signing and i really think he will be here next year with the connection to williams. what does this leave for rocky? if thomas comes in rocky has nowhere to go but MLB, which i think we need an upgrade at. can rocky play middle?

Aren't the Ravens in good shape as far as the cap goes? If so why would they let Thomas go - their owner is not cash strapped.

I wouldn't even worry about Thomas, he won't be a Redskin. He will have too many pursuers with deeper pockets.

We traded this years 2nd pick as a part of the Mcintosh trade . I think we have a 1st , 5th , 6th & 7th rd picks this year < not sure about the TJ deal > .

I like the Clements idea ONLY if we are moving Springs to FS and Taylor to SS.. Springs needs to bulk up a little but he is getting a little slow for CB but will be all over the field as a FS.. Thomas-pass, I'd rather get a free agent MLB to hold down the middle. I'd love to get Gaines Adams from Clemson but I think he'll be gone by our pick if we win out..

Depending on how we finish and the Broncos finish we will either swap 1st round picks with Denver or we give them a 4th rounder in 2008(since we don't have a 4th rounder in 07 due to the Llyod trade. It is looking like we will be giving them their 4th rounder in 08.
