By age but Clowney’s knees are in a lot worst shape than Vernon’s knees Clowney has already had meniscus surgery and micro-fracture surgery on his right knee before 2015. Clowney prolly has knees of a 40year old clowney’s right knee is a ticking time bomb. I don’t believe Vernon has any issue with one of his limbs or body part like Clowney does.

Believe, Vernon has knee issue, too. Maybe not as severe as micro-facture, but.... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BiscuitBrown Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Sign and trade Clowney for Trent straight up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Why would Washington do that? We would be eating an insane amount of cap space to do that trade. There are penalties for trading players. Their salaries don’t just disappear. Plus what is everyone’s fascination with Trent Williams? We don’t need or want him right now. We will grab our LT at #10. That is a stone cold lock. I wouldn’t want Trent Williams as a FA. I certainly don’t want to trade assets to get him. Screw that. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Clowney would be a huge upgrade to our defense. Is he as good as he was supposed to be? No, but he’s still a very good NFL starter. It would give us the best 1-2 punch at DE in the league, IMO. Tough to not get hard thinking about those two as our DE’s. Plus who cares about his cap #? Sign him to a short deal or include health incentives if that petrifies you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who knows, maybe we get a whole season of competent DE play across Miles between them? 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NateDawg Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 Signing Clowney gives us the leeway to have another DE whack-a-mole another AFCN QB this year with a helmet and get by. For that reason I am for it. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Official Browns statement: The Cleveland Browns in no way endorse the actions of Chad Thomas and would have never paid him a large bonus or a new set of drums to crack Lamar Jackson over the head with his own helmet. In light of Mr. Thomas actions’ we have released him but wish him well in future endeavors. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have signed another average DE to a “ Bonus laden contract”?who will be ready to take on Joe and the Bengals this Sunday. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clowned last year had the second highest double team rate His upside and Garrett would be off the charts especially if you line them up next to each other.

LETSGOBROWNIES Posted April 5, 2020 Share Posted April 5, 2020 I haven’t been for signing Clowney as I assumed he’d be getting a monster deal for multiple years. If we can get him on a one year deal, that would be incredible. Not only would we have the best DE rotation in the league, he’d potentially earn us another comp pick if he has a good season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
