Asante Samuel or Nate Clements???

TheMalcolmConnection · 01-23-2007, 09:51 AM

I'm with Gmanc and say we just go with Smoot. He'll come fairly cheap, he knows the system, that'll allow us to save money for the future (gasp!) or get some depth along the line.

I really wouldn't be surprised if we don't get either. I think Gibbs wants to assert more authority on personel w/regards to $ & cap space. I think he wants to keep his vets & doesn't want to have to cut some guys this year or next due to more big signings.
I see us picking up a cheaper vet or 2 later in free agency. Somebody mentioned Smoot. While he might not be available, someone of his caliber might be for a signing bonus of 4 mil or less if we wait for them to be cut.

What makes you sure we are going to get one of them? I hope we do, particularly Samuel. But I'm sure both teams will do everything to keep them. However Buff and NE will not overpay and we will which makes me nervous.

TMC - is Smoot available? I thought he signed a long term contract - are the Vikings going to cut him?

how nuts would it be if we got Smoot AND Clark back...talk about a red faced coaching staff, "Sorry we thought you were replacable"

In all honesty though...I wouldn't mind if that did happen

Redskins_P · 01-23-2007, 10:42 AM

Nate Clements. He knows the system and is more physical than Samuel.

If we get Smoot back for much less than he wanted when he left in the first place. I'd say that that was a good call on the coaching staff.

That's all we need to say right there.

Fire up Redskins One.

Clements is better than Smoot.

Samuel may be the best of them, but it seems like Clements wants to be here, IMO.

That Guy · 01-23-2007, 12:03 PM

clements is by far the most likely (knows system, better player, not really tied to buffalo). either one would be fine with me and a good move though. if smoot's cheap, bring him back as our #3

, but that's probably not happening.

he's owed something like 6mill, and he ended the year as the #4 CB i believe... so...

mooby · 01-23-2007, 12:35 PM

The Vikes are probably gonna release Smoot. He was quoted in an article a couple weeks ago about how they might as well release him if they plan on making him the #3 corner, because he doesn't want to be the #3 corner until the end of his career.

Redskinhog1963 · 01-23-2007, 12:37 PM

like i said,go after both of them!

freddyg12 · 01-23-2007, 12:51 PM

Mark Maske said today online that he thought the Skins wouldn't have a big FA year, but would go after a cb in free agency. Before he's said that he thought it would be Clements.

That's 2 more than Roger's had.... anything is better than CR!!!!!!!!!
