Bummer, I really would have liked to sign him.
Now hopefully we won't overpay for Nate Clements.

I'm okay with this, because I think we
would have overpaid him to get him. But it does raise the market price for the guys who are left, I suppose.

wait until the Skins give up the #6 pick to either him or one of the other franchise players!
I wouldn't be opposed to the team trading the #6 pick for Samuals AND one of the Patriots first round picks (the higher pick would be great, but this won't happen) Beside, if the Skins make any trade withthat pick, recent history shows that the team will come up on the short end!

Strange. I thought the Patsies didn't play the franchise game. It goes against their 'everyone gets the same pay for the good of the team' philosophy.

Price tag for Clements just went up, unfortunately...

We were going to overpay for him anyway.
