$20-25 million for Clements is absurd if true. Wouldn't that be more than Champ Bailey type money?

That would be Champ Bailey type money. And apparently that's what he's looking for. I guess San Fran is really looking to upgrade their defense, and they have a ton of money to spend. From what I read, they will be the front runner for Clements when the market opens.
And yes, I think Smoot and Bly would be duct taping the titantic. But you've got to think, both players are under 30, and Smoot knows our system, staff, and the city. He'd fit right back in, and we'd get him for a fraction of what Minnesota paid for him. A rotation of Bly, Smoot, and Carlos could be pretty good. Better than Wright and Rumph for sure!! And I don't think bringing in Nate Clements would immediately right the ship either. Sure he's great, but we need so much on D, I think spreading the money around on decent players is a much smarter move than blowing it all on Clements.
