Rsherman28 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Well, it looks like Jadeveon Clowney has probably played his last game in a Texans uniform. According to Michael Lombardi, the Texans are shopping him in talks around the league. Lombardi added that the Texans trade demands for Clowney “will be reasonable” and “won’t be hard to solve.” The only issue the Texans have in the trade talks will be the kind of money Clowney is looking for in a long-term deal. The Texans applied the franchise tag to Clowney during the offseason, but he has yet to sign it, along with him skipping offseason program, training camp and the first preseason game so far. Clowney will have to sign that franchise tender in order to be traded. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SR24 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 If we can’t get a good CB then getting a top edge presence is our next best option. Idk what I’d offer though maybe a 3rd that turns into a 2nd if he balls out idk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Joe W. Namath Posted August 14, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted August 14, 2019 Clowney has never had 10 sacks in a season. Has had injury problems. Theres a reason the texans arent resigning him. Broadway Joe Douglas is waaaay to smart to fall for this. Clowney will not be a jet. 13 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hael Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 Clowney is sort of the Texans version of Leo. Incredible athlete who plays the right way and is dominant in run defense, but who unfortunately lacks pass rush moves to really disengage from blockers and so doesn’t really get the sack numbers (despite getting the push). Both suffer from draft expectations and contract worries (the is he worth it question). 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jvill 51 Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The price tag shouldn’t be that high, and for good reason since you’d be trading for only one guaranteed year of Clowney. The Texans really screwed themselves by not trading him before the deadline to sign extensions for players slapped with the franchise tag (said another way, the Texans really screwed themselves by completely butchering the whole Pats-Caserio thing and handing the whole operation over to O’Brien and the Pats’ ex “culture coach”) 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

David Harris Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 I’d trade Leo straight up for sure. I’d rather have Trent Williams. i wouldn’t trade Clowney without a signed extension and that’s where it breaks down- his number is way higher than his worth but teams get crazy 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nobody trading for Clowney ,and paying him a huge salary also. I actually almost entirely agree with this my frozen footed friend. This is why I think that statement of being reasonable was added by the Texans imo. I’d say a 4th or even 5th gets it done. Or Maybe a player for player trade. They’re not going to pay him and he’s not going to play without them paying him. Not a good scenario. Getting something for him is significantly better than nothing. That said, I wouldn’t want to see the jets pay him the crazy amount he probably wants. Jachai polite is coming along nicely and will ultimately be just as good (or better) as Clowny is as far as PR goes. We got run stuffers all over the damn place already. Ps. By we I don’t mean you. You understand I’m sure. You like the idea of the faders grabbing him? Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hael Posted August 14, 2019 Share Posted August 14, 2019 The pick compensation would be a third in terms of draft chart value at the minimum (this is what Sheldon Richardson got in the final year of his rookie contract), and probably closer to a mid 2 b/c Clowney is significantly better than Sheldon ever was, has a larger upside, edge vs DT, and is still benefiting from college hype. A trade for Leo, would make sense. They'd probably want a 4th or 5th as well on top of that, and yea we'd be on the hook for a Trey Flowers style contract at the very minimum. I mean, it wouldn't be a terrible deal. You do get a proven young player who while he isn't a generational JJ Watt flashy talent, is still a top 8 edge defender in the league who is entering his prime. Still, from a min/max perspective our secondary is a much bigger concern in the short term. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
