On the surface, I would love to have him because he is a damn good football player, but once you factor in injury history, desired salary, etc, it starts to feel like a bad fit. That being said, I trust Beane and McDermott to make the right call. We are in great place cap-wise. The big contracts we have on the books, are all structured in a way to provide cap flexibility. This FO looks to be STRONG in drafting, which gives us a constant influx of young, affordable talent. If there was ever a position for this team to go all in on, and take a chance, it’s WR or EDGE. We tried at WR (Antonio Brown), he ended up with the Raiders. I absolutely believe we’re trying to bring Clowney here, and it would be worth the gamble. 1
eee1776 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 Didn't Houston just lose a running back. Maybe TJ Yeldon and Z- Jones 1
OldTimeAFLGuy Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 ...if there is that much animus and vitriol between Clowney and da Fuhrer-GM-HC O'Brien, no telling what may happen...stay tuned...........
Big Blitz Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 That being said if it costs us Zay or McCoy I'd gladly just take one year of motivated Clowney.

In sure they could send Tunsil to Houston but why would Clowney want to re-up with that dumpster fire of a team. No QB, no talent & locker room unrest... sounds fun. He would re- sign because Miami is a great city to live in as a rich single dude- I doubt winning his main goal and Miami will have a ton of cap space next year apparently
BringBackFergy Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 No thanks on Clowney. Hasn’t attended training camp in several years (according to Jim Miller on Moving the Chains). Evidently not a process guy. He had one huuuuge play in college and his reputation is greatly exaggerated by that one play. I trust Beane but hope he goes the Phins (the way of Mario Williams and Donkey Kong Su). 1 1
buffalo2218 Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 At first I was skeptical about going after Clowney, but after thinking about it, I imagine it's hard to put up good numbers playing across from JJ Watt. I'm not knocking Hughes, but Clowney might actually flourish more here, especially under McDermott

DJB Posted August 25, 2019 Posted August 25, 2019 (edited) They need an RB and a WR and a replacement for Clowney. Zay, Shaq, Yeldon.... + a 2nd? Edited August 25, 2019 by DJB

I am not down on Zay or McCoy but I would trade both for Clowney. His impact will be greater. I would not trade anything higher than 3rd for him though. I also would do Shaq and Either of them for Clowney

I’m operating under the assumption that he doesn’t want to play his prime in obscurity. 1

WNY's money is just as green as everyone's else's and it's a good place to live. 1

That's where the conversation would likely start to get Clowney. 3

Isn't Gilmore like his BFF (they played together in high school)... https://nesn.com/2018/09/stephon-gilmore-knew-jadeveon-clowney-was-a-freak-before-anyone/ I don’t know about BFFs but they Are both from rock hill and played at S Carolina. I remember seeing them at a hornets game together a few years ago. I do not think the Pats have the cap space to sign him, though. Edited August 25, 2019 by YoloinOhio
