That's No Moon Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 1 minute ago, billieve420 said: If Dolphin are in on Clowney and Tunsil is available. It would cost Dawkins at a minimum not including potential draft picks for both teams. People talking about guys like Zay Jones being viable compensation is crazy. If the Dolphins trade Tunsil to Houston knowing that they can't re-sign Clowney until the off-season they are morons. IMO that's the biggest hold-up in this situation, the difference in Clowney's actual value as a football player, and what is he worth to another team to acquire when you factor in the massive risk involved in that he can walk and you end up with nothing. If he could be re-signed to a multi-year extension immediately, ergo, teams would be given permission to talk to his agent and work everything out in advance, you'd be correct, but this isn't that situation. Zay Jones isn't ample compensation, not even close. But to Houston, if Clowney is really going to sit he adds no value to your football team and they have immediate needs at multiple positions. The longer he sits out the fewer games his acquiring team will be guaranteed to have him on the field which depresses his value even more. After the trade deadline he has no value at all to Houston apart from the 3rd round comp pick they MIGHT get (again, assuming he truly is going to pull a Leveon Bell maneuver).

And if I'm Buffalo I say have a nice day because I'm not giving you that for a rental and neither is anyone else. Which is why the trade hasn't happened yet. if anyone offered Houston anywhere NEAR that package they'd have leapt on it like a hungry mountain lion.

I don’t see it happening. What are significant assets to you i keep seeing shady(last year not here next year)zay(people here want him gone) and shaq lawson(last year of contract). with the pick being a 2nd or 3rd. If clowney walks we get a third. When your young qb is on a rookie deal you load up welcome to the NFL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But don't forget Clowney has a say in where he goes. (If he doesn't like a trade, he won't sign his franchise tender.) Maybe he's fine playing for his next contract with a crap team like the Dolphins. Or maybe he'd rather play with one of the top defenses in the league. Clowney has some leverage here. Hmm. Let's see: spend a year in beautiful South Florida, or spend a year playing in an extension of Appalachia aka WNY?

A wr that would be better than everyone they have behind Hopkins and Fuller.
