Jroc04 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Ugh, terrible. Really wanted him here. Coulda pushed the defense into elite territory. Howie def could have beaten that deal. Just didn’t want to. That roll over money killed it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah would’ve been great to get him for that price even as a rental, but I think Seattle is a better situation for him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kiltman Posted September 1, 2019 Author Share Posted September 1, 2019 Well if we want Clowney, looks like he’ll be free next year Also if they are taking like half of the money not sure why Howie didn’t do it besides he just didn’t want to Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now that I know it would have cost us half the money, I’m a little more perturbed. Plus, Shareef Miller is prb headed to the practice squad after finalizing the roster.

I Don't think for a second JC would of liked being in this Rotation. At least not before getting paid!!! Anyone honestly feel he'd be ok taking less snaps because of DB, Curry, Hall, Miller or Sweat? He'd expect to be opposite BG and playing all 3 downs. Just like Michael Bennet! Alpha Dog Syndrome! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This doesn’t happen all the time. We’ve been super fortunate to be a contender for 20 years. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Art_Vandalay Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 DE position isn't as deep as the past few years but we're still stacked on the D-line overall. These are rich people problems. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s been given all chances to perform and he’s done ok in limited spots because he’s been hurt. Stay healthy, produce, earn clout. Until then, you’re just a roster spot. Clowney would have started over DB opposite BG and then Schwartz could have been inventive enough to get them all ample shots to perform in a strong rotation. And then see what’s what. Clowney can lineup all over. One thing we lack is a pure joker spot. Not saying Clowney ever would have been in coverage but imagine him in a rush LB spot over Cox in the nickel. QB would be ishing bricks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This isn't a FO scared to make moves. Which IMO speaks volumes that they didn't. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

babyatemydingo Posted September 2, 2019 Share Posted September 2, 2019 I get the impression that the Eagles had no interest in renting Clowney. I'm not sure why, given the modest expense. How is he in the clubhouse? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
