ESPN: Nate Clements in Redskins' plans?

thomas is a little older than i thought. a 270 lbs OLB in a 3-4 defense, who will be 30 by next season's start might not be the best choice to be a 4-3 linebacker in our system, and probably wouldnt be that wise to spend too much on him at this point. if we go after a 30+ linebacker id hope it would be london fletcher

HA. Something about your location made me laugh Big C. LOL.

That's my location too, but only on Friday nights.

Yes.

If the Redskins feel like cornerback is a need area, and this is the best value at the position that is available on the market, then they should pull the trigger.

I do not believe this is the situation. I believe Clements is a very talented player who will demand the highest salary in the market and by signing him, the Redskins would be paying above-market for a player.

I would prefer to see them target a solid young player who can fill the nickel role for a year, and grow into the starting position once Springs retires in a year or so.

That makes sense but I heard Redskins One will be ready to roll at 12:01 am heading straight to Buffalo.

Why go for Thomas when the price it takes to get him will be higher than ever. We have taken players at similar stages in their careers and it has rarely worked out for us. I would love to see the Skins start structuring their team through the use of the draft. To say that free agents are less of a risk just doesn't seem to be the case these days, especially not for us.

I would leave Thomas alone. He's pushing 30. We need to draft a DE.

What does drafting line help have to do with signing a corner? They could do both.

i think they need a good defensive end worse than they do a qb.the qb can sit back in the pocket and write a song unless a good de can put some pressure on him.i would almost give on of your right nuts to see julius peppers as a redskin,he's the real deal!
