Should the Bills make a move for Jadeveon Clowney?
‘Clowney’s value in a trade figures to be somewhere in between that. The former No. 1 overall draft pick has yet to have a 10-sack season in five years. It’s fair to wonder if Beane would be willing to give up a first-round draft pick for a player with that track record.’
