buno67 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 this is huge for the Browns. An elite edge defender has left the AFC and is now in the NFC. Even bigger that it’s a team that was going to be a threat to the Browns. Maybe the stars are aligning!

Thomas5737 Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Clowney is good but I don't think he is elite. You're basically trading for the right to sign him as a free agent so you shouldn't get a lot of compensation even though sometimes teams do.

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Clowney or Vernon, who’s better and if you could have either who would it be? Id be hard pressed to not day Vernon tbh. Clowney’s good, but I’m not sure he’s as elite as his contract demands seem to indicate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mind Character Posted August 31, 2019 Share Posted August 31, 2019 Even as an injury concern, Clowney has either led or been top 3 in run stuffs for over the last 3 years. He's also top 8 in Hurries in most years. His disruption in terms of traditional box-score stats is missed. He's elite. Terrible. Terrible trade for the Texans. if you're going to trade Clowney for nothing, why not trade him for things that have the opportunity to protect your franchise QB? Trade Clowney for 3 Offensive Lineman... Trade Clowney for a WR2 to take the pressure off of Hopkins. They traded for need ... "we're losing DEs so let's get back DE's" I would've traded a 3rd rounder for him and Chris Smith and some other DEs just for the opportunity to have him as a 1-year rental and then get a compensatory pick for him the next year.... Ridiculous.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ridiculous.... Fwiw, the word was that he was refusing to sign his tag and wanted to be part of actively negotiating where he was traded to, thus limiting the ability of the Texans to maximize trade capital. And that said, the vibe in Houston is that it is a rudderless ship, that they really could use a GM right now who is the GM. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
