Tell me what you think.

1. Tag & trade DE Dee Ford.
2. Sign DE Jadaveon Clowney.
3. Draft a passrusher with one of our first three picks.
4. Cut DE Justin Houston in 2020.

That gives you Houston/Clowney/Speaks/rookie/Kpassagnon in 2019.

In 2020, you’ve got Clowney, and options between Speaks and your rookie for the other passrusher, with the other guy in rotation. Maybe draft another dude high in 2020.

Thoughts.

Ready to give Clowney 100 mil? Cause he's gonna get that.

So no

You got it right, stupid. Trading 1 expensive pass rusher for another.

Absolutely not.

Clowney has a pretty rigid injury history that will flare up again more as he gets older IMO.

So no

Alright, I’ll go find an elite passrusher for cheap, then?

Fair.

The fly in the ointment of this scenario is Eric Berry and his albatross contract. That would hold up Clowney coming here.

I'm agreeing with 3 of the 4 minus Clowney due to cost and injury risk though, as O.City pointed out.

I'm just not sure Clowney is an elite pass rusher. He's an elite run defender on the edge who has never shown he is an elite pass rusher.

I don't see Clowney making it out of Houston.

Yeah. They still have Watson on the cheap for another season or two, and they're going to try and keep the core of that defense together, I would imagine.

Well you're right...pretty stupid lol.

Clowney might be the most overrated player in the NFL.

Swap Preston Smith in for Clowney and I'm on board.
