Rumor: Nate Clements to 49ers.

[Questfor31]

The 9ers way overpaid for Nate Clements. Nate's skills were beginnning to diminish during his last two years in Buffalo. He was not the shut down, ball hawk of a corner that he was the three years prior. Nate's a good corner, but he's no Champ Bailey. 8 years, $80 mil for an overrated player is a bit excessive.

Bizarro world math? Do you disagree that 22 is roughly 1/4 of 80? If that's bizarro world math to you then estimation must be tough.

What about the base salaries, Stephen Hawking? Did you forget about those? When you learn simple arithmetic we can talk contracts.

Rexi. He gets paid a salary also. The SB is up front money. As in: "here's a check for 22 mil, sign the contract and it is yours." Most of the rest of the contract is salary which he earns when actually playing. By the end of the first season he will have made more than 1/4 of the money.

Thank you for the explaination. I forgot the golden rule, "Redskins fans are smarter than your team's fans".

Well shut down corners don't really exist. Even Bailey isn't a shut down corner, though he finally lived up to his reputation somewhat this season. What I like about him is how aggressive he is.
