I actually have Tennessee as the favorite in the clubhouse - Vrabel was more than his position coach and coordinator, he was his tutor and mentor. Clowney's best year came in 2017, when Vrabel was in charge; It wasn't just his best year statistically, he was consistent from snap to snap - which is the big issue with him, consistency from play to play. Vrabel can get the most out of JD, more than most - and JD could probably cash in big after a season of Vrabel ball. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

animaltested Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Clowney is just waiting for a contendor to get desperate and blow him away. His second best offer with Seattle is always in his back pocket. This could go into August/September. But I still believe he ultimately ends up back in Seattle. (Unless Philly or Tennessee decides to bring blow things up) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seems like Clowney and Everson Griffen are both dancing in limbo-land with each looking at the other one to set the market price NFL facilities are opening up and coaches should be allowed into the building next week - so we might see some movement then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Unless Philly or Tennessee decides to bring blow things up) I think he ends up in Cleveland at this point. All three teams flirting with him have a case to be a contender and I don't see him inking anything longer than a 1-year deal and trying for big money again next year. He could thrive in Cleveland with Myles Garrett on the other side. Frankly, I think Seattle is better off with Everson Griffen anyways.

Griffen is a better player straight up for perhaps half the cost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) I think Clowney signs in July and with Cleveland. Their huge cap space isn’t going to change. There’s nobody else out there I could see Cleveland wanting. If they cut Olivier Vernon, their cap sky rockets to 53 mil. How I feel the offseason resolves: Seattle - Griffin Philly - Yan Cleveland - Clowney Edited May 29, 2020 by candyman93 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be that as it may, "have a case" simply implies that a good sales pitch could convince someone like Clowney that he's not joining a team destined to play 16 game. Cleveland has legitimate playoff aspirations which you can't say for every team. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cleveland has legitimate playoff aspirations which you can't say for every team. With like five or six exceptions, I think you absolutely can. I'm not saying he won't go there. I'm just saying if he goes there, it'll be for the money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 Was posted by a 49er fan in our forum. Thought it was worth bringing up in here. Weird sort of situation given how tiny the TE market is; he could crush that market (13m/yr) and still 100% be underpaid by a fair margin. Given what he does as a blocker, what he does for the run game, and then is our number one receiver, you can easily argue he's worth good wide receiver money.
