If he's not what the FO wants, I don't see a point in clamoring for the team to sign him "just because". Bringing him in just slows the ascension of Commings and adds to an already tight cap. The team isn't a moderate upgrade at safety away from being a contender. No reason to panic.

Here's the Clemons write up: Coverage: 35/40 Utilizing exceptional speed from the safety position, Chris Clemons (6’1”, 214 lbs, five seasons) excels in coverage due to his wide range from a single-high look. He easily transitions from a backpedal to opening his hips and carrying receivers down the field. When that athletic fluidity in space is combined with his elite speed in the open field, Clemons often found himself as a factor in plays down the field for the Dolphins defense. Run Defense: 8/15 Clemons is an asset in run defense primarily because of his speed. He can close on a ball-carrier in a hurry, but he isn’t a downhill weapon from a physical standpoint. He excels in space and being the last line of defense in both pass and run defense. Tackle: 11/20 Clemons isn’t the most physical player, but he doesn’t seem to shy away from contact. That said, when he lowers his shoulder and makes a tackle, it’s not going to stay in the mind of the ball-carrier. He doesn’t pack a lot of pop upon contact, but he will often be around the ball if a player gets to the second level. Speed: 25/25 Clemons joins Earl Thomas as the only two safeties to receive a perfect 25 score on the “speed” grade in this year’s NFL 1000. He’s the prototypical center fielder at free safety. On teams that love to press on the outside and give their safeties freedom to roam the field, he would be a good fit. Overall: 79/100 Clemons has an elite attribute that separates him from other safeties in the NFL. His game is built around speed and his ability cover a large area.

They have to love Commings if they aren't even bringing this guy in for a visit.

Free agent FS Chris Clemons is visiting the Texans.
Clemons has a connection with new Texans director of pro personnel Brian Gaine from their Miami days. Clemons' market has been extremely quiet but he's one of the better players available. He can cover the back end and would provide an upgrade on Shiloh Keo. Clemons is our top remaining free-agent safety. Mar 28 - 10:59 AM Source: John McClain on Twitter
