SlimShady'sSpaceForce Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Pending unrestricted free agent Jadeveon Clowney wants to play for contender GREEN BAY, Wisc. -- Jadeveon Clowney said his priority in free agency will be to play for a contender. "I just want to win," the defensive end said after the Seattle Seahawks' season came to an end with a 28-23 loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday at Lambeau Field. "I'm trying to get to the Super Bowl by any means. That's what I'm looking for: Who's going to get me there? I ain't looking to get on no sorry team for no money. That ain't going to fly. I ain't gonna put my body through all of that just to lose no 16 games, go home with my check. I'd hate that, so that ain't what I'm doing. So if I can't win no Super Bowl, I ain't going to no team that can't win." Clowney, who turns 27 next month, headlines the list of Seahawks scheduled to become unrestricted free agents in March and will be one of the top available pass-rushers on the market. His first order of offseason business will be to determine if he'll have surgery on the core-muscle injury that has plagued him since Week 10. He said he probably will, though Clowney decided to put off surgery after a November visit to Dr. William Meyers, a core-muscle specialist in Philadelphia. ...

DCOrange Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I would guess he doesn't view us as that kind of team, but guess we'll see this offseason. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo_Stampede Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 We're probably not on his list of preferred teams. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thenorthremembers Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'll tell you what I aint doing. I aint paying no sorry defensive end 7 million dollars a sack. I aint paying him that, not to sit there and watch him collect his check and not play a full season, I'd hate that. 14 16 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Buffalo Boy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Well, we wouldn’t have to worry about him getting any Roughing the passer flags? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROCBillsBeliever Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 (edited) Clowney strikes me as the type who will play for the Pat*#$@, thinking they're going to the Super Bowl next year, because PFF and ESPN and the national polls and Vegas like them... let him join the Evil (crumbling) Empire, if you ask me.

BringBackFergy Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 That's what I'm looking for: Who's going to get me there? I ain't looking to get on no sorry team for no money. That ain't going to fly. I ain'tgonna put my body through all of that just to lose no 16games, go home with my check. I'd hate that, so that ain't what I'm doing. So if I can't win no Super Bowl, I ain't going to no team that can't win." There’s 7 “I”’s in his explanation. No thanks. Over-hyped player. He had one big hit in college and is not a difference maker...nor is he a Beane type. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
davefan66 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 He'll be looking for $15 million or more per season. Top guys get $20 million per year - Ware and Frank Clark. Not interested in busting our salary cap for him. Plenty of guys looking at large contracts over the next few years - White, Allen, Milano, Dawkins. With our defense, we could use a stellar DE, but are good enough without him as a unit. Would rather throw money at Jordan Philips. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D. L. Hot-Flamethrower Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I actually think we would be on the list of teams. And, he is a darn good football player who would fit quite nicely with the Bills. He's a beast of a disruptor! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BuffaloBillyG Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I'd be looking for players that say "How can I help get the team there" as opposed to "Who gonna get me there". That's the type of attitude that just wouldn't do well with the players we have that believe in the 1/11. Clowney can be a Clown elsewhere. 6 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coach Tuesday Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Would be a home run signing for us and anyone who thinks otherwise or just looks at sack totals needs to watch some tape. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjt328 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Good player. But I'm also worried about his attitude and whether he's a team-first guy. I had the same questions when he came out of college. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Jokeman Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 Clowney is a good player yet not sure he's going to be worth the money he seeking/is due. Personally I'd rather sign a guy like Mario Addison for a year or two and draft a kid to develop behind him and Hughes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Magox Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I would imagine his initial thought for playing for Buffalo would be a negative. But I think once he came in to visit and really learned about what Buffalo was building, the camaraderie/brotherhood, the belief in the organization from all the players and personnel and Beane being a master salesman his tune would change for the right price. Hes a disruptive force and would be a great addition. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Disagree that the 3 sacks are a true representation of his impact. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark92 Posted January 13, 2020 Share Posted January 13, 2020 I disagree. I think this team has really great solid core and a ton of depth. They need PLAYMAKERS. Yes the offense needs a WR, yes another RB is needed and yes the OL still needs some help. However, I don't believe I was the only one watching Clowney push Rodgers all over the field yesterday. Maybe he isn't the guy for this team but that talent level is what is needed. Give me 2 maybe 3 playmakers and a solid draft class and I'll be super happy. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
