BuffaloBills1998 Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I think Beane signs Clowney to a 1 year vet minimum nothing guaranteed type of contract. Maybe McD and Fraizer Can turn him around 🤷‍♂️? 1

Maybe McD and Fraizer Can turn him around 🤷‍♂️? I definitely would like that.  Do you think they’re just trying to be patient and wait it out so that his price goes down? It just seems like crickets, even on interest, since we couldn’t get Watt.
poblano Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 Draft, only draft. I may only open to Dunlap, and that's will be if they don't drat one.  Most here want an immediate impact player, I don't, all the movements so far have been to draft BPA in each round and develop them   1 minute ago, BillsFan619 said: I definitely would like that.  Do you think they’re just trying to be patient and wait it out so that his price goes down?

Maybe they can do that with him too.  Just a thought. I know it’s risky though.
Malazan Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I'm pretty sure they're looking strongly at pass rusher's in the draft and that was likely always the plan

I don't give Clowney a chance because i see in him an attitude problem that can't be solved even in Buffalo environment.  Only Dunlap, but by the way i'm looking to upgrade the lack of sacks i dont believe there is someone that can. (I clearly differentiate between sacks and pressure, Buffalo does the late at some level of success)

Nothing else out there can really be considered an upgrade. This.  Drafting outside the top 10 is not getting us a game changing pass rusher so we need someone who can impact us this year. We need it now. Our window is now. 1

BaaadThingsMan Posted March 20, 2021 Posted March 20, 2021 I think there will be an upside FA signing and a pick or two early in the draft 1

With the covid market there will be signings in week 2 and 3 that will be really good players. Look at some of the guys who signed later last year and that was in a good money year. Some deal will get done around April 1.Â

I didn't watch a lick of college this year.  My hunch is based on Beane's comments, their actions in FA, cap space and my general feeling that big ticket pass rusher free agent tend not to live up to their contracts. Those contract often have big cap hits and lots of dead money making them very inflexible and Beane's MO has been flexible contracts. 2

Pickings are slim among the "big names" but I remember reading that Beane was looking at some guys who haven't been starters yet in their careers but may have some upside waiting to emerge. They named names but I don't remember them. Â I'll trust Beane to sign one of those type.Â

So you have to believe that we could get a ton out of Clowney’s skill set which is way better than that clown (pun intended) and than our rotational starter(s) there. At worst he gets moved around the line and becomes a chess piece for Frazier to get creative with. We need to generate pressure with 4 this year if we want to win it all. Personally I prefer Dunlop,  but would be OK with Clowney especially if he could be more than a 1 year performer at a decent price ( <9 ) Edited March 20, 2021 by Locomark

If they do, let’s hope for that diamond.  Yes, Beane definitely gets trust in my book too.
