Virgil Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 If we offered Clowney a deal after the draft, would we owe the Texans a first round pick next year? Can we wait until after the draft to do that? If it costs a 1st next year, I’m in

BuffaloRebound Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Pretty sure the window to sign the tagged player to an offer sheet ends before the draft.

I think if we sign him now, they automatically get our first this year. They’d have to agree to take next years first. But why would they if they get this years automatically?

For the same reason they would want to trade a franchised player, so they don’t let a good player go for nothing.

Im not sure if there is a deadline to make an offer sheet. The best bet would be to work out compensation with the texans and sign him after the trade. Signing him to an offer sheet would be dumb 2 1
BuffaloBillies Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Something about Clowney doesn't feel right to me. Don't know why. 1
Boca BIlls Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 No thanks this is shouldn't even be in your brain it costs way too much for him. 1

My issue with Clowney and I realize this may rub some folks the wrong way is that to me, he hasn’t lived up to his overall draft status. This guy was a number 1 overall pick IIRC and quite honestly, I’m not so sure he’d be worth surrendering a high pick for
Mark80 Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 (edited) Is he designated "non-exclusive"? If he is designated exclusive you can't make him an offer at all. But they can trade him to you for whatever compensation you negotiate like a regular trade. If he's non-exclusive then you can, but if he signs an offer sheet you have to give up compensation. Looks like he was designated non-exclusive after looking it up. Signed offer sheets require 2 first round picks as compensation if not matched. So if done after draft it would be 2020 and 2021. Hard pass on that. Edited March 15, 2019 by Mark80 1 1
Call_Of_Ktulu Posted March 15, 2019 Posted March 15, 2019 Clowney's TFL and pressures are very impressive. He is easily a top 10 pass rusher, if we could get him for a 2rd and a 4th I would do it in a heartbeat if his contract demands are reasonable. The Texans don't have the cap space to re-sign Clowney so they have very little leverage in a trade. 2

Don't get me wrong, he' good, just not the dominant player many thought he would be. Mack was the best player in that draft. When the Bills moved up in the draft that fateful night, I was sure they did it to pick Mack. But of course, I put too much faith in Whaley as he took Watkins. ?

He impacts a game without always getting the sacks. Something many edge rushers cannot say. Watt gets half as many sacks last year if Clowney is not on the field. Clowney beats his man, disrupts the play, Qb scrambles right into Watt. Clowney plays like he is the Tazmanian Devil. Maybe over aggressive at times but an element lacking on defense.

I really just depends on if they want to keep him or not.

He is still a great player, and worth a 2nd and 4th as you listed depending on his contract. Some were saying he wanted to be the highest paid defender . 2 hours ago, LikeIGiveADarn said: He's been living off of one remarkable hit in college, and people think he's that player 24-7. The hit wasn't even that great. 275lbs DE hitting a 160lbs RB unblocked.
