I don't know. I have trouble believing that we could: (1) get a guard in free agency or resign Dockery; (2) sign Fletcher; (3) sign the #6 draft pick; AND compete with other teams who have $20M+ in cap space for the only quality corner on the market.

There are a ton of teams with between $15M-$30M of cap space. There are a ton of teams who need a corner. There are few quality free agents to speak of, let alone free agents at one of the most difficult positions (i.e., corner). Common sense seems to indicate that teams will deliberately try to front load deals for free agents because: (1) such deals are more palatable to players than front-loaded deals; and (2) teams will try to utilize as much of their current free cap space so as to avoid future cap problems.

I think we could offer Clements a deal comparable to what other teams will offer (both in terms of SB and overall compensation), but will be unable to offer him a front-loaded deal.
