Would signing Ryan Clark be a good or bad move?

If the Colts signed Ryan Clark to take Bethea's spot, would that be a good or bad move? I think most will say bad due to him being 34, but he might be a decent replacement on a cheap contract. He's had 3 straight seasons with 100 tackles and had 2 interceptions in 2013. I think we could draft a safety in a late round and have Clark start for a year or two then have the draft pick take over. Thoughts?

Maybe on a one year deal but I think Clark is about done.

If he took a huge discount, then MAYBE. But he's not good anymore and he's old.

I think I would rather draft a safety early. And even if we did sign him, I would prefer to draft a safety early. You can't simply draft somebody in the 6th round and expect them to somehow be starting caliber after a year. It happens, but I wouldn't be caught betting on it.

Really! ! Draft a safety LATE. Come on Man! Maybe ANOTHER one late.

He doesn't play in Denver (high elevation)?  This is potentially bad.

With the Mike Mitchell signing, I am curious if the Steelers might be interested in trading Shamarko Thomas?

I think he's as good as Bethea, but with less left in the tank. Scooping up old Steeler players is never a good idea.

IMO he's done cant kick the tires off on that old man. Rather not invest money in him too aged and lost a HUGE step.
