Clowney considering options including a "prove it" short term deal

Yup, 1 year prove it deal

Exactly. Bring him to BUF. I would think he sees this supporting cast and would think he could put up good numbers and play for a good defense setting him up for a big contract somewhere next year.

Could the Bills afford him if they also want to extend White, Dawkins, and Milano? If so, he'd be a perfect fit in Sean's defense. There's still a need for someone to play strong-side DE. I think Addison prefers playing on the same side as Hughes, Murphy isn't good enough to start, and I'm not sure if an obvious high-quality DE exists in the draft after the first 50 picks.

I think Jefferson was signed to play DE on running downs and DT on passing downs.  Clowney isn’t happening.

Makes sense, because he's not as good as he thinks he is.

 

I think he's more of a mercenary at this point with no loyalty to any team.  

I do think he would be a beast on the Bills d-line, but not worth the cost.

I'd give him $12 million per year.

Clowney would be the only DL on our team getting double teams. 

And wouldn't get sack production. But it would free up Hughes to get sacks.

 

I just don't think it's worth paying $20 million per year for someone to take double teams and not get sack production.

Let's give him the Jordan Phillips treatment.  Come here, be the best version of yourself, then go get paid elsewhere after the season.

A one year rental sounds good to me. Go for it!

Is this some sort of an existential physics exercise?  ?

I guess I am in the minority......he is a very good player who wants to be paid as a great player.  If you get him on a deal less than his perceived value, he will have a negative impact.

They just raised the cap to like 12 billion, teams have the money. Its a medical thing for clowney

Here is what I said on Monday:

 

Clearly he overestimated his own worth. That said, people are crazy to say he will go somewhere on a 1 year rental. He will likely sign  a  5-year 80-85 mill deal with 40-45 mill guaranteed. I can bet he will have offers at that price. The Jets will easily throw that money at him.

I'd try and give him a base of around 10-12MIL with incentives to get upward of 15-18MIL depending on production.  This way if he doesn't produce you still get a good DE that disrupts things, but your not paying a premium if he doesn't ultimately get what you want... Sacks.
