njbuff Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 The Bills were in on trading for him, but fell short. Now that he might be free (if Seattle doesn't franchise him).......... Will the Bills make another strong push for him?
Phil The Thrill Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I don’t see it. I believe that Beane wants to draft and retain and I don’t think that’s lip service. I just can’t see them shelling out that kind of money for a DE 4

Happy Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I think they want a stud DE, but the type of money Clowney wants will probably cause Beane to look at other FAs that may be available. This might be a good poll... 1
Mr. WEO Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 The return of the 50 page Clowney thread!? 1 7 1

MAJBobby Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Will address UFA stuff after the tag deadline passes. But yes he is an edge and I think Bills will be looking for an Edge in UFA 3

Especially for non-rebuilds (64 tags can thin out that UFA depth very quickly)

3rdand12 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 I do not like Clowney in Buffalo. not that opinion should ever set precedent : ) But i feel Bills will find a couple edge guys using more than one method. Drafting is my hope. and sprinkle in some FA.

hondo in seattle Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 Beane's interest in AB notwithstanding, I think Beane prefers to find his playmakers in the draft and then augment them with solid role players in free agency. FA superstars like Clowney are almost always overpriced. While I wouldn't be shocked if Beane sniffs around Clowney, I don't expect him to pony up. 4

DuckyBoys Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 think the Seattle deal included a no tag on Clowney so he will up for the highest bidders I'm sure Beane will at least kick tires. Honestly want them to dump assets into offense. Defense is good enough they can resupply through the draft and minor free agents. 1
Penfield45 Posted January 21, 2020 Posted January 21, 2020 (edited) no chance we have so many holes on offense to fill we don't need to be spending a chunk of our cap on an injury prone DE. Edited January 21, 2020 by Penfield45 1

No I think the Bills wanted him on the one year 8 million dollar contract to get him in the building and see how he fit in the organization. This way they could get the full Clowney experience and determine whether they were willing to give him the larger contract. I dont see them as be in on a guy for 20 million or more they have no real context for outside of Brian Gaine. 3 1
