Yeah after all that scandal about overpaying Nate , I doubt the 9ers will overpay for a CB. I would rather use top money on DT and DE and have some "good" CB's like the other top tier Defenses.
What "scandal"? Because some fans complain he is overpayed for the way he plays? Well those same fans have a very short memory, and forget we HAD to overpay to get him or he would have gone to a better team. Overpaying is the price we pay for not making the playoffs in so long, and for rumors of having cheap ownership that doesn't seem like they know what they are doing.
People also forget that Clements was the best player at that position available that year. So it was either overpay and get him - or go without. That being said, there is a big difference in overpaying for a player that has been bad his whole career (Jonas Jennings, anyone?) or someone who has been "good" (Clements) compared to someone like Nnamdi who has been an elite shutdown corner for a few seasons now.
