I disagree that Clements isn't worth that. The salary cap has skyrocketed recently, so there should be several CBs who are worth more than what Champ got from the Broncos a few years ago.

If Champ were on the open market right now, he'd be worth a $35 million signing bonus.

If Peyton Manning were on the market right now, he'd be worth a $50 million signing bonus, at least.

That's the nature of a changing market. You have to adjust to new contract values quickly. It's not that Clements isn't worth that amount, it's that the guys we now have under contract are incredible bargains in comparison.
