Bears OL T.J. Clemmings Out For Season

August 27th, 2019 at 8:03pm CST by Rory Parks

The Bears’ offensive line depth took a hit today, as the team placed T.J. Clemmings on IR with a quad injury, per Jeff Dickerson of ESPN.com (via Twitter). Chicago signed Clemmings back in May with the idea that he could serve as a solid swing tackle, but now the club will have to turn to someone else to fill that role.

The Bears liked Clemmings coming out of college in 2015, though he was ultimately drafted by the division-rival Vikings. He spent the first two years of his career in Minnesota, starting 30 of his 31 games. He was waived prior to the 2017 season and caught on with the Redskins, ultimately appearing in six games (two starts) for Washington. The Redskins waived Clemmings prior to last season, but he was quickly claimed by the Raiders. The 27-year-old appeared in four games for Oakland in 2018 before succumbing to a season-ending knee injury.

Now, a quad ailment to his other leg has ended his 2019 campaign before it could start. Cam Ellis of NBC Sports Chicago says the Pittsburgh product suffered the injury during the Bears’ preseason game against the Colts on Saturday.

The Bears may now turn to UDFA Alex Bars to serve as their primary backup at offensive tackle.

Bears Sign OL T.J. Clemmings

May 31st, 2019 at 11:12am CST by Ben Levine

T.J. Clemmings is heading to Chicago. The veteran offensive tackle has signed with the Bears, reports Brad Biggs of the Chicago Tribune (via Twitter).

As Biggs notes, the Bears have had interest in Clemmings dating back to his time in college, as the organization hosted the lineman on a top-30 visit. The Pittsburgh product was ultimately drafted in the fourth round by the Vikings, and he proceeded to spend the first two seasons of his career in Minnesota. During his stint with the Vikings, Clemmings started 30 of his 31 games.

He was waived prior to the 2017 season, and he caught on with the Redskins, where he’d appear in six games (two starts). Clemmings was then waived by Washington prior to last season, but he was quickly claimed by the Raiders. The 27-year-old appeared in four games before succumbing to a season-ending knee injury.

Clemmings will presumably be competing for a backup tackle job, although he has played some offensive guard during his career. The Bears have already added a pair of free agent linemen this offseason in Ted Larsen and Cornelius Lucas.

2018 Proven Performance Escalators

January 31st, 2018 at 10:02pm CST by Dallas Robinson

According to the NFL’s contractual bargaining agreement, players drafted in rounds three though seven are entitled to raises during the fourth year of their respective rookie contracts. The pay bumps are tied to playing time — a player must have played in 35% of his team’s offensive or defensive snaps in two of his first three seasons, or averaged 35% playing time cumulatively during that period.Jay Ajayi (Vertical)

If one of these thresholds is met, the player’s salary is elevated to the level of that year’s lowest restricted free agent tender — that figure should be around $1.908MM in 2018. Players selected in the first or second round, undrafted free agents, and kickers/punters are ineligible for the proven performance escalator.

Here are the players who will see their salary rise in 2018 courtesy of the proven performance escalator:

49ers: Trent Brown, T; Eli Harold, LB

Bears: Adrian Amos, S

Bengals: Tyler Kroft, TE; Josh Shaw, DB

Bills: John Miller, G

Broncos: Max Garcia, G; Trevor Siemian, QB

Browns: Duke Johnson, RB

Buccaneers: Kwon Alexander, LB

Cardinals: David Johnson, RB; J.J. Nelson, WR

Chargers: Kyle Emanuel, LB

Chiefs: Chris Conley, WR; Steven Nelson, CB

Colts: Henry Anderson, DE; Mark Glowinski, G; Denzelle Good, OL

Dolphins: Bobby McCain, CB

Eagles: Jay Ajayi, RB; Jordan Hicks, LB

Falcons: Grady Jarrett, DT

Jaguars: A.J. Cann, OL

Lions: Quandre Diggs, CB

Packers: Jake Ryan, LB

Panthers: Daryl Williams, T

Patriots: Trey Flowers, DE; Shaq Mason, G

Redskins Claim OL T.J. Clemmings

September 3rd, 2017 at 11:49am CST by Dallas Robinson

The Redskins have claimed offensive lineman T.J. Clemmings off waivers from the Vikings, tweets Tom Pelissero of NFL.com.

Clemmings, 25, has started 30 games for Minnesota since being selected in the fourth round of the 2015 draft. However, he’s consistently graded as one of the worst offensive linemen in the NFL, earning poor marks at both guard and tackle.

Washington’s starting offensive line is set, but Clemmings will give the club a reserve option behind tackles Trent Williams and Morgan Moses and guards Brandon Scherff and Shawn Lauvao.
