Miami considers itself the leader for acquiring Clowney; he doesn’t want to go there

A good agent would be using Miami as leverage for a better landing spot. 

Maybe that’s why he fired his agent. He doesn’t want to go to Miami and he was thinking he was heading there anyway because O’Brien and Flores are compadres. That’s no bueno from the agent.

O'Brien wants to help out an old buddy and get something for an asset he can't hold on to. He was likely behind Gaine's ouster in favor of the guy from NE and was rebuffed by the Patriots with a lawsuit. He isn't going to trade Clowney for anything less than highway robbery to Brian Gaine's new team or else he'd be helping make himself look bad.

Pretty decent take

You missed one important option - he can wait to sign the tag after the trade deadline passes - getting paid for 10 weeks (10 million dollars) and accruing his season and effectively blocking any trade he does not want to be a part of.

 

He can also make signing the tender contingent on being traded to a team he wants because there is nothing the Texans can do until he signs.

 

I also believe the Texans could rescind the tag and effectively make him a FA right now and lose and compensation, but that would just be dumb. 

 

Basically he has already blocked a trade to Miami once.  They then got a meeting and it does not seem Clowney is still real interested and he still holds the cards.  I got think Miami is just stupid if they meet a deal for a guy that has made it clear a couple of times he is not happy going there.  You get a dejected player that is not happy - seems like a recipe for disaster.

 

 

Then why not just play the year under the tag for Houston?  Then enter FA after the season?

That’s what I’m wondering. He says he wants to play for a contender. He’s already on a contender. The $ is the same no matter where he plays. Yes he can be tagged a 2nd time but that’s unlikely given the size of the cap hit imo

Personally, If i'm having to play a contract year on the tag, I'd rather play on a stacked defense and a team that is gonna get national hype like the Texans. He's probably worried that he'll play it out in Houston and they'll tag him again and flip him wherever they want. I wouldn't trust B.O.B not to be a d-bag.

There is a ton of info out there about the situation and who knows what is legit. But I’ve read most of it and I’m thinking he actually wants to stay in Houston but since they don’t plan to pay him and need some other pieces, they are trying to use him as a trade chip to get a LT, WR, etc. So he’s at the point where he knows he’s out for that reason but has leverage on where he goes because of the tag. So it’s a messy situation for several reasons including that the Texans don’t have a GM.

It sounds like that was his plan to sign this week and report - right up until all the trade info started.

 

I think he wanted to be in Houston- hence working with Gaines on an extension before O’Brien decided to go another direction.

Wasn't that supposedly part of the rift between Gaine and O'Brien? Gaine wanted to re-sign Clowney and BO nixed the idea?

I heard O'Brien didn't want to let Gaines "work from home".

I mean - he’s like fine, if I’m being traded regardless don’t send me to a ***** team. His agent (or former agent) probably gave him a list of teams interested in trading for him who also have the cap space and the assets to trade and out of those he’s accepted eagles/hawks. But O’Brien is pushing Miami on him and it’s comical. Hope they trade Tunsil for him and then he walks.

Just report after the trade deadline (after 4pm October 29 but before 4pm Nov 12) and force Houston to cut you or let you play. 

If the Texans are shoving Miami down his throat as the only option, and he really doesn’t want to go there, he should do this

Bills again 

 

Isn't that from three days ago?

 

The latest on Paline's twitter account only mentions Philly and Seattle:   https://twitter.com/tonypauline?lang=en

 

 Tony Pauline Retweeted

Pro Football Network Retweeted Michael Kist

Lots of 'smoke' surrounding Jadeveon Clowney and a potential trade to Miami. However, multiple reports suggest his interest could be with Philly or Seattle, two potential Super Bowl contenders.

 

===========================================================================================================================

As an aside, I know you scour the web for info but can you take a look a the credentials of the sites you post links to as well?   The Pro Football Network site is run by a guy who's a PR flack for Travelers Insurance in Connecticut (Doh!).    The TexansBullPen site is just a couple of Houston fans who are no more "wired in" than anyone on TSW:

 

 

http://www.texansbullpen.com/aboutus.htm

 

All About Us!

This is all about the Texans, with everything from the fans right down to the players. We are not associated with the Houston Texans nor are we any part of their franchise. What you see on this web site is non-profit, fan opinionated, down-to-earth fun. We have no ties with the Texans 

JeffImage.jpgAs for the web masters... first we have Jeff - also known as TexanLee. Jeff is 41 years old and is currently employed with TSA, Inc... We support all HP products. And for the important information, yes... he is still single (hint, hint ladies...) and has no kids.

 

DeanImage.JPGNext, we have Dean - Also known as TexanRed. Dean currently has no age since he has recently started looking younger the past few years. Dean is a former Marine and who has been fortunate to be one of few people who have made it many years working with HP (formerly a part of the Compaq side) and is working towards many more years with them. Dean has himself three wonderful daughters... McKenzie, Kailie, and Allie. And as a matter of fact, yes! Dean is available ?

 

AndyImage.jpgAnd of course, we can't leave out Andy (Our official Photographer). All of the pictures you see on our site are taken by Andy. Andy is also a former Marine (that's where he met Dean as well as his wife, Katie). Andy is now working as a contractor inside of HP (thanks to these crappy BS work force reductions taking place for the past 8 years now). At least it is a job and his wife doesn't have to support him anymore ?

 

Well, this will sum up the basic information regarding your local folks at TexansBullPen.com, now go enjoy the rest of our site!!!

Seriously 

All that I can add is if Beane/Gaine are involved, they made their play and are awaiting a decision. The beauty of this forum is that many of the members here have done some good research.

Agree, I have little doubt that they are interested and trying to acquire him. Beyond that, it’s murky due to O’Brien trying to save face and Clowney’s leverage.

I am defensive minded. and I like Clowney. He just fits...As far as O'Brian is concerned, he should be more concerned with the entire Texans team than his ego strength.

Uh, what?

 

I'd say he's on a potential playoff team. But that has more to do with how bad that division is than how good the Texans are. I wouldnt call them "contenders", like the Pats, Eagles, Seahawks, Rams, Chiefs.

 

Our Bills would be on a 10 year playoff streak if we were in that Division.

 

Ok, maybe not the Rex years, but definitely the Marrone and McD years.
