Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
Our 2006 signing bonuses are looking pretty puny right now.

When we see what Adalius Thomas gets, we're going to feel pretty good about what we're paying Andre Carter.

The thing with Thomas, I think that most teams don't know whether to give him DE money or LB money because he's a hybrid sort. He's a good linebacker and he's a good pass rusher off the edges as well. |

Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
Right, but what I meant (I should have been more clear) was has he gone to meet with any teams yet? Over the past week ESPN made it seem like he's be in San Fran right away but I haven't heard a thing about it yet.

Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
Oh, okay...you're right. I haven't heard much.
You know, it would be very interesting to see if the Cowboys show some interest in this guy as well as the Giants. Either could be a good fit. |

Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
Yeah, that's the sort of thing that I don't want to happen. Then again, if it did, hopefully we would only have to deal with him for 2-3 seasons because he its getting up there in age.
EDIT: Nevermind, he's younger than I thought

Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
ill tell you what. with all the bitching and moaning that goes on around here, how come no one ever praises our capologist? those puny 5 million dollar signing bonus', along with the 5 year contracts look like bargain basement prices right now. kudos to our front office

Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
As to Thomas, I think someone is going to seriously overpay for this guy. He's been around for a while and it was only this year that he came up big. Don't get me wrong, I think the guy has talent BUT I also think that Baltimore's D Coordinator (Rex "son of buddy" Ryan) was very creative in their use of him.
He is not a plug-and-play guy. He needs a scheme that lets him have a lot of options in how to play. You stick him in as a traditional LB or DE, he is nothing special (Baltimore did both of those things - he was good but not superstar good). With that said, a creative D-coordinator could have a lot of fun with this guy. If I was him, I would've been headed to Boston so fast it would have made your head spin. If the Pats were anywhere close in terms of money - I would have accepted less to play on Belichecks D. Completely off topic - With salaries and SB's so high, you would think a few of these players would think quality of life issues in making their decisions. I mean, really, how much money do you need? If its between signing with a loser for 20M and a winner for 15M - I go with the winner every time. But hey, that's just me. Since it is unlikely I will ever be confronted with two such offers, I am fairly certain I shall never have to face such a dilemma.

Re: Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.
Laying 5mil on the table is a pretty serious decison. Don't let the difference between 20 and 15 being 5 fool you. The part that is important is the MILLION. 5 is not a lot. 5,000,000 is a huge amount.
