Yeeeaaahhh... I'm gonna say fuck this dipshit. He's been talking about dollar figures all offseason, and all we've been MAYBE looking for is an extra boost to our pass rush.
He wants a payday, we want a cheap capstone to an already established product.

While I agree with this, I can understand Spags' interest (if there really is any interest). With the Giants, he had those four pass rushers that basically won them the Super Bowl, and Clowney lined up next to Jones and Clark would be a force. [Reply]

Fuck Clowney
Let's see what Taco Charlton and an ascending K Pass can do next to Jones and Clark. I'm fine with that. [Reply]
We did fine with "just enough" at that other DE spot all year. Hell, Ogbah led the team in sacks for the first several games of the season. He was averaging 1 or 2 per game until he got hurt.
Okafor was fine as well. Did about what we expected him to do. And obviously after that, we had Suggs.
I'm fine with Okafor if he stays healthy. And in the event he's hurt, it's not like we don't have options. Spags is constantly rotating linemen as it is, and I'd like to see Jones get some more snaps at end on early downs.
Pickens are getting slim- but there are a few guys that could fit our budget.
Some guys that pop out a bit to me and fit some injury spots are:
Josh Kline - G/C flexibility and would likely be a starter. Actually preferred him before the Osemele signing.
Marshall Newhouse - T/G flexibility but nothing but a backup
Tavon Wilson - SS/FS flexibility and better than what the Chiefs have as reserves now. Indy bringing him in for a look today though. [Reply]
The #Saints are sending an all-out blitz to try to sign Jadeveon Clowney, who has spoken multiple times to coach Sean Payton, sources tell me and @RapSheet. At least two other teams still involved as Clowney's extended free-agent saga nears a close.
