It wasn't a home run signing, but it certainly wasn't a bust. He played a crucial role for what I consider to be our best defense in the last 30 years(2014). Clowney is a 26 year old with an incredible amount of upside. He's got all the talent in the world and has increased his productivity each and every year. EVERY signing is a risk. Look at Morse. Yes, this would be higher dollars, but you gotta roll the dice sometimes. I wish! Williams was superb and his play honored his contract. Rex Ryan? The guy was an aberration and a traveling road show. In 2014, you could feel a sense of momentum that Schwartz was building...then boooom! 2 1

The argument against hiring Schwartz was that he had failed in his stint in Detroit. Meh. It's the Lions organization. Who HAS succeeded there? And then there was the fact that the guy we hired had some early success and completely fell on his face in his last couple years in NY. Did not compute. I'm surprised Schwartz hasn't gotten so much as an interview. I think he's viewed around the league as a DC and not HC material. You'd think someone would give him a shot to dispel that with all the retreads who've gotten second chances.

The Bills aren’t going to give the Texans valuable draft capital AND pay Clowney over 20 mill a year. Ain’t happening. Hope. this is what teams do when you have a qb on a rookie deal you load up talent you spend in free agency you stack the roster for a multi year run .and if its a 3rd you dont find many players like clowney in round 3

Ain’t giving anything more when you have to pay the man......... RICHLY. Edited August 25, 2019 by njbuff

Does that logic apply to Khalil Mack? I'm fine having the conversation about what Clown boy is worth, but the argument of it being a bad trade if you have to give up compensation and pay the guy just doesn't work in the modern NFL. Teams are realizing that they have to leverage value on young stars that they aren't going to pay.

Schwartz was already labled as a defensive guru through out the NFL, even so, promoting Schwartz seemed like the logical next step, but I think for the Bills it was also timing. The Pegulas bought in to the Ryan myth and it just took off. Do you remember the Bills players carrying Schwartz off the field after the Detroit game? How often do we see that! Some redemption anyway. Edited August 25, 2019 by Rocket94 1
BaaadThingsMan Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Tell u what, last thing this league needs is Clowney in NE on a contract year. Duck that! They won't resign him but I can see them picking him up for this year.
jkeerie Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Lombardi is reporting he will be traded within the next 24 to 48 hrs. Houston wanted oline help, but since that is unlikely, they are looking for a WR they can pair with Hopkins as Fuller is coming off an ACL injury. There are two teams currently negotiating with Clowney to see if they can agree to an extension.
rayray808 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 with Miller hurt... things should get very interesting

HappyDays Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 If a good starting receiver is required to make the trade, count us out. I wonder if the Chiefs rumors were correct...
whatdrought Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Texans have had an interesting night... Lose your starting RB, while having your biggest threat ride into the sunset? Can’t tell if they’re more, or less likely to trade Clowney now...

Instead of a $100M invisible man, it will be the $135M invisible man. I want the DE position to be upgraded, but I don't think Clowney is the answer. ? if I ever commit a crime I hope you're the witness. You saw over 30 sacks Mario's first three years in Buffalo and call him invisible...?? 1 1

Maybe Sammy would finally come close to realizing his potential if he learned how to be a pro from DeAndre Hopkins... the Clemson connection couldn't hurt. 1

BillsfaninChicago Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) I never thought of Mario Williams being a bad signing. It is weird I keep seeing people say that. If Wrex didn’t take over in 2015 we would have likely made the playoffs with him on defense that year. Edited August 25, 2019 by Leonhart2017
