Good deal for both. How do you say no if you're the Dolphins? youre rebuilding and getting two first and a second is a haul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The contract isn't why this trade makes sense. The texans would have gotten a 3rd round comp for just removing the tag and letting clowney sign elsewhere. The fact the Seahawks can let him walk next year and get a comp pick equal to the pick they traded makes this a steal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For sure, Texans probably ended up having to throw in additional pick because Clowney wouldn't agree to go to Miami. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think between the lack of leverage and inability to probably have a contract on the table made it hard for the Texans to get anything else.. Texans goofed hard.

John232 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Marsh got cut. Wouldn't have a problem bringing him back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Question- Does the fact that Tunsil just got traded for that kind of haul make the selection of him in "Are you smarter than an NFL GM" better or worse? I need a ruling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
showtime Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Clowney could very well end up being a one year rental. The Seahawks got a 1st and 2nd rounder for Clark and they just replaced him with Clowney. I read that Clowney is among the league leaders in run stuffs over the past three years, which is exactly what Seattle needed. This is just masterful GM'ing.

It's a great deal for you guys all around. Even if you guys just have him as a one year rental. This is the type of stuff the Pats do. As @N4L said, the draft pick will basically cancel out with the comp pick if he walks. The players going the other way are largely roster fodder. I had heard Mingo was even a potential cut this year before the trade. So you get one year of Clowney, for roster fodder and pushing a pick out for a year. Maybe it doesn't amount to anything this season, but you really have no risk and nothing but reward. Worst case scenario is that you lose out on a mid third round pick and a couple of depth pieces.

True. I think everyone in the division is trying to make a push for the Rams. They'll probably win it again, but everyone in the NFC West is trying to compete and make it as hard as possible. This is going to be a really exciting season for all four teams in this division. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
