CLEMENTS BLOWS OUT THE CURVE
Adam Schefter of NFL Network reports that the San Francisco 49ers have signed cornerback Nate Clements.
It's a mind-boggling eight-year, $80 million deal, with $22 million in guaranteed money, and it makes Clements the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history.
Clements was expected to be pursued by several teams. But he never got out of San Fran.

No way we pay him that much. I'll believe it when I see it somewhere else. I don't doubt we signed him but 80 MILLION!?

Here comes the NFL equivalent of the baseball offseason, and Nate Clements has kicked it into high gear. That deal is just absolutely insane for Clements.

Bill Polian's draft strategy of spending a 2nd round pick on a cornerback every year looks rather good right now. Wow.
The worst part is that the 49ers, in having to pay extra to lure Clements to their team, have established a ridiculous market value. You honestly think Asante Samuel is going to ask for any less when he becomes a free agent in 2008?

"A league source tells us that, as a practical matter, it's a six-year deal worth $7.25 million per year."
Its probably like that shaun alexander signing..looks big on paper but in reality is easily replacable after a while. Or is that nate burleson?
Just hope he doesnt tank on us..

WOW!!! Um, that's absolutely insane. I'm glad the Browns didn't pay him that with what they already payed Steinbach. I just don't even understand how you could get a contract of that size.
