D82 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I mean...he isn't worth what he's wanting, so kinda nice to see teams holding their ground. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BleedTheClock Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Sounds like he's heading to Cleveland then. They offered him the best contract he's going to get. I think he's going to be an underrated signing. He's become underrated on the boards due to overcorrectiveness based on his lofty draft status. He's not nearly the player we thought he was going to be, but he's a very good starting DE in the NFL. One of the best run stopping DE's in the game and has shown the ability to generate pressure at an average rate. He's not some epic failure...just mildly disappointing. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NJC33 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Can't remember anyone having such an inflated perception of their market value. Whatever the case, his agent deserves blame for not tempering his expectations because at this point it will likely cost him. Reuniting with Vrabel on a one year deal makes all the sense in the world.. Go revitalize your value under the guy who's proven to get the most out of you, while also playing for a contender. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninjapirate Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 I dont understand why clowney just didnt accept the highest offer early this isnt baseball. Teams run out of cap space. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candyman93 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 (edited) Either take a 1 year “prove it” again deal with Tennessee / Seattle or take a fat contract with Cleveland. Super bowl caliber teams are not usually going to have a lot of cap space. He has to realize that.

Going to play in Cleveland with Myles Garrett and Sheldon Richardson will be big for him. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes coming off a 3 sack season in 13 games and never once has had double digits in his career. He is a 12-15 million per year player who wants to be paid like he is a 15+ sack guy 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I mean... he spent the first part of his career with JJ Watt, DJ Reader and Whitney Mercilius. If you can't produce with that lineup, what can you really do? 18 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you can't produce with that lineup, what can you really do? Bingo. If Mike Mamula is a top 10 pick and considered a bust with a five year career of 31.5 sacks and over 200 tackles, what do we consider Clowney as a former #1 overall pick with almost similar career stats (236 tackles, 32 sacks) over six seasons? He's a good player. But nowhere close to great, and he's expecting to get top market dollar, which was never going to happen to begin with. It is especially not happening with concerns around Covid-19 and the salary cap moving forward in future years. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaguarCrazy2832 Posted June 14, 2020 Share Posted June 14, 2020 Thats because teams are done hearing his side say how good he is and yet the tape doesnt match the talk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Depending on how much Sheldon has left in the tank, Clowney would probably still be just the third best player on that D-line. You don't pay your third best lineman prime money. As others have said already, he is good, but he thinks he is great. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He underachieved with stars around him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
