Before the Bills went out and brought in who they did, and drafted AJ, you could have envisioned a scenario in which they signed Clowney...but not now. Expand While I do agree that he’s not in our plans, I wouldn’t rule it out just because we’ve added other players. Trent can be cut and save us 8 mill. We have the room to add 15 mill if we cut Trent. So, while he have a very good DL right now, cutting Murphy and replacing him with Clowney would give us an elite DL imo. He’s exactly what we need imo. One year deal isn’t breaking the bank. It’s going for it. This is a perfect year to go all in imo. That being said, doesn’t seem like he’s a process guy and fits the McD mold. That doesn’t mean he wouldn’t make our defense better....which makes our team better....which gives us a better chance to win the SB. I can dream

machine gun kelly Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 I’m sick of Clowney. Seattle, Cleveland and rumors TN all made offers and he is way overvaluing his worth. He’d be smart to just go back to Seattle and accept he is not getting an $18 mil. offer. Even if it is a short deal so he can increase his stock for next year. The crazy thing is if he’s not going to be a stud opposite Watt, he’s not going to do it all.

Expand Maybe, but you don't pay someone 17 plus million to take limited snaps. This is why this regime favors very good scheme specific DL players over superstars that consume your cap.

ngbills Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 Sign Clowney to 1 year deal and cut Murphy. Easy instant upgrade. 1
machine gun kelly Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 He’s averaged 5.33 sacks per year since he started in 2014. He hasn’t played all 16 games most seasons, and he’s just not worth even $13 mil. 3
Charles Romes Posted June 1, 2020 Posted June 1, 2020 You might just have to overpay for him if you think he’s the missing piece. The Chiefs thought Sammy Watkins was the missing piece, and it turns out, they were right. 1 1

Slippery Rubber Mats Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 Clowney on a 1 year deal in Buffalo makes so much sense. As someone else pointed out, with the Bills rotation on the line I think he could have a great year.
H2o Posted June 2, 2020 Posted June 2, 2020 The ball is basically in his court. He's had offers from teams seen as contenders and otherwise, but is still not on a roster. It's strictly about $$$ at this point and maybe he doesn't want to participate in any team's TC. Who knows? He will be on a roster somewhere by the middle-end of August with the team that offers him the most money, regardless of whether they are viewed as a contending team or not. It won't be us.

Big difference. Expand First of all it’s only one year hypothetically and not restricting any extensions or other free agent signings The top ten pick is still a valuable asset to use on a player only getting around half the snaps on defense. despite the dui charge I think he will get more than that as his career goes on, but the system will always be set up for him to split snaps. edit: and then you have to pay him big bucks to split snaps if it works out.
