mrcoops Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Once the Panthers offered a second year, he was out of reach for one-year-deal Joe. Decent money for Clowney - about three times what he earned from the Ravens. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghost Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I thought we had an abundance of pass rushers? This is what I heard constantly throughout the off season and even during the season last year. Now we are in need of a pass rusher? I heard this about the receivers last year too. All I heard about was how we had Garrett Wilson, Allen Lazard, Corey Davis. And by week 5, we all were dying for any form of help. You don’t let pass rushers walk for nothing. That’s the moral of the story. Games are won in the trenches both offensively and defensively. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’s a nice group but adding one more guy would be a good way to round it out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sperm Edwards Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 Unless the 2nd year is guaranteed, which seems unlikely, it's to the team's advantage - not the player's - that a 2nd year is tacked on. IOW if it's $10MM guaranteed in y1 and another $10MM non-guaranteed in y2, that's a better deal for the team than just 1 year $10MM. Maybe $10MM in y1 and $2MM in y2 is guaranteed, making the pay (in effect) 1st year at $12MM (guaranteed) and $8MM in y2 (not guaranteed). So absent that info it's impossible to know if this is "more" than 1 yr $10MM which I think was a common or rumored estimate when he was visiting with the Jets. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OtherwiseHappyinLife Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 I am so fine with this. The Jets spent a lot of capital on their Edge rotation and there is plenty to like post Huff. JJ (1st round pick) 2023 Pro-Bowler who is on the rise. Can play the run & the pass. JFM (big contract): Underappreciated in these parts even though he is likely overpaid. Jetsxfactor has a lot of stats showing him as solid setting the edge, above average pass rusher from the edge, and a very good pass rusher from the inside. Can play the run & the pass. Will McDonald (1st round pick): Came on at the end of the year collecting 3.5 sacks and drastically improving his pass rush win rate. Good bet he'll improve as a pass rusher in 2024. Jury is out versus the run. Micheal Clemons (4th round pick): Was very strong against the run his rookie year before gaining weight and sliding inside part time. Let's get him back to that form. Upside as a solid run defender with limited juice as a pass rusher. Can try to add some depth middle or end of draft. Perfect world without a cap, would have loved to have Clowney. In the real world, take the savings and re-sign Ashtyn and allocate rest to our needs post draft (e.g., swing tackle, slot WR, whatever they might be). 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jetsfan80 Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 He grew up an hour southwest of Charlotte - in Rock Hill, SC (which is also where the Panthers have done their training camps some years) so that of course had to be a factor along with the $$$ for Clowney. Hell, His college ball team, U of South Carolina in Columbia, is less than 2 hours from Charlotte as well. So tons of his friends and family will get to see him play for the hometown team. Not a bad deal for a year or 2 and then he can maybe extend his career somewhere else. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I could have been very good with the kind of two year deal described above because I always like to control players without much exposure. But if not offering it means getting back Ashtyn and overall pushing less money to 2025 by way of restructures that's okay too. Wow!! I'm in a mellow mood. I guess this old guy's Dulcolax worked well today 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrcoops Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 If we want a veteran pass-rusher for depth, just sign Yannick Ngakoue. He can still get after the QB, is just 29 this year, and should come cheaper than Clowney. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
