Bills unlikely to re-sign CB Clements

ORCHARD PARK, N.Y. (AP) -- The Buffalo Bills will maintain a modest approach to free agency this offseason, all but eliminating their chances of re-signing star cornerback Nate Clements.

Following meetings with team owner Ralph Wilson earlier this week, general manager Marv Levy said Friday that the Bills have budgeted about $30 million to spend on acquiring players when the NFL's free agency period opens March 2.

The $30 million figure might seem like a lot, but it's very modest when considering Clements is seeking a deal that would pay him $18 million in bonus money alone. Spending that much on one player would severely handcuff Buffalo from adding other free agents.

A little suprised to see him let go, but it is a move that has to be made in the long run. Plus he wants alot in bonuses, and I don't think we should be dishing all of it out on him.....
