With KC, Clowney would be able to: 1) Play DE, which maximizes his ability 2) Play on an already stacked DL, with two other pass-rushing terrors to draw attention away from him (seriously, he would face single blockers a LOT) 3) Play for a DC who is creative and will move him around to create easier pass rush opportunities where needed 4) Play for a team that is going to put up a lot of points on offense, forcing opponents to throw the ball a lot, creating pass rush opportunities I don't know that the huge, multi-year deal Clowney wants is out there for him. If it was, I think it would have materialized by now and he would have taken it. |

He's a better pass rusher than any other DE not named Frank Clark on this roster. He's not a world-wrecking sack machine like some thought he could be coming out of South Carolina, but he's a good all-around DE who would also be schemed into pressure situations a bunch by this DC and not draw primary focus from offenses. He's only been used as a 43 E, his best positional fit, or one season (2019) and had no other credible pass rush threats around him. |

The **** are you talking about? What do you think Okafor and Suggs we’re doing on the other side of the line? Setting the edge, stopping the run and providing just enough pass rush to help free up Jones and Clark.

If Jones costs only $10M against the cap, you use that found money to swing a deal for Clowney. His 2019 salary was $15M, certainly the ceiling he's looking at now. Maybe you get him to come down to join the Chiefs and make a stat stuffed championship season. The three of them would be a nightmare. |

Jones signing long term = more cap space = enough cap space to sign Clowney to a 1 year deal.

The Raiders paying Clowney after drafting Ferrell and Crosby then signing Nasib would be hilarious.

Ferrell was a top 5 pick and Crosby looks like a good starter. Paying Clowney makes no sense at this point. For that they should’ve paid Byron Jones. |

Mahomes is so good under pressure that he will destroy that shit secondary time and time again. We’ve been on the other side of this too many times. We know what it’s like to have a great pass rush and weak secondary. The best QBs will find your weaknesses and exploit over and over. |

Kwitakowski is statistically a pretty good coverage backer and Mullen was a guy I liked in the draft a couple years ago. Lot of people here liked Amik Robertson too (me included). Cup isn’t completely bare there but their draft picks have not been great the last 2 years. They got lucky that Crosby has been good. Passing on Josh Allen for Clelin Ferrell was stupid enough, but passing on Jerry Jeudy for Henry Ruggs? The chefs miss is Damon Annette. They could have drafted Gladney, McKinney or Igbinoghene and been better off. Holy shit |
