Clements is healthier than Springs and brings more experience than Rogers, but huge upgrade? Check last year's performance:

Clements
Tackles - 80
INTs - 3
Passs Defended - 16

Rogers
Tackles - 79
INTs - 1
Passes Defended - 16
Stats from NFL.com

Rogers game improved late in the season, so we could see a bump in his performance this year. Springs hasn't completed a 16 game season since 2000. I have a feeling the starting CB line-up will be Clements and Rogers.

That's IF we land him. I don't think he's worth Adam Archuleta $$$. The Skins have about $4.5 million in cap dollars. The Bills and Detroit, who also has man love for Clements (and who told CB Dre' Bly to go away) each have $30 million+ cap room. They each could outbid the Redskins if they want. Of course, our guys have been very clever with contracts.

Could turn out that Clements signs with Detroit and Bly cascades to us.
