It may seem like a pipe dream but what if we sign clowney for 3 years 53 mil. it will probably get him at this point. we can create money for draft picks with signing Williams to an extension and redoing solders contract and a few more slight roster modification.
we then draft either simmons or if somehow young drops to us we take him (hopefully we can trade back a spot or 2 and still get simmons)
We can then go OT in the 2nd and Center in the 3rd and hopefully if we get a 2nd 2 we can add a stud WR to the mix.
FINALLY....our defense would be a strength instead of a liability. Williams Tomlinson Lawrence Clowney Simmons Connelly Fackrell Carter Peppers Badberry Baker Love is a very young solid group with s lot of versatility. we also finally address our offensive line. thoughts????
I'd be giddy if we got Clowney in a deal like that.
How much did he really play next to JJ Watt? JJ misses 8 games a season
I think his production is better than Williams who we just tagged.
Just signed a new inside linebacker and play-caller for significant money also. Assuming Clowney to DE, your pushing team's best players to the bench and making them part-timers. If Clowney stands up -- you're pushing Fackrell, Carter, Ximenes, and Simmons into a rotation?
Wasting resources that can be used better.
Yep, Clowney is complete trash
Conjuring up Clowney's sack numbers is beyond unfair at this point. Do better. Watch the guy play, some of definitely don't especially when I se a post that says "when has this guy wrecked a game." He helped wreck games last season.
Maybe, but lets not forget Vernon helped spearhead the only good NYG defense we've seen this last decade and we made the playoffs. We also turned that big bad cap crippling doomsday contract so many here lost sleep over into a very good starting guard. In other words, the contract never lived up to the doomsday scenario so many here predicted. And the only reason Vernon let down here was due to injury that no one saw coming.
