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

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

Ed Oliver and Star regularly got double teamed - that is what opened things up for Shaq and Jordan Phillips. But you are not at all wrong in saying Clowney will consistently command double teams and that will open up sacks for the others. He is worth way more than the 10 mill per / one year prove it deal people are bandying around.

He can get on a plane for a physical.  They are still flying them...

Umm - it takes more than a plane ride. NFL is currently restricting physicals.

The NFL's current directive and restrictions on conducting physicals could be a big reason teams might be skittish on paying a truckload for Clowney without having their own medical personnel take a look.

He should be ... he’s more “name” than production throughout his career. 

 

But, but........didn’t you see that one play in college where he went unblocked that made him into a Super Hero???

 

It must suck to think you are a super hot “10”, only to learn the rest of the world thinks you’re just an OK  7.

That only bans team personnel from traveling to see a player or a player coming to the team.

 

He can get a physical by any doctor the team physician recommends and trusts.   Simple solution they are already working on.  He could fly to see Dr. Andrews, who could do at least a thorough exam as any of these part-time team sports docs, for example.

 

Pretty simple.

Thanks. I did not know that.

Mario was on Bruce Smith's level in terms of pure talent. Clowney I am not so sure about.

 Clowney is a physical specimen/athletic freak. That being said, he is no Mario Williams and light years from Bruce. I would still celebrate if we signed him to a decently team friendly deal. We must be able to retain Milano and Tre, and it would be nice to extend Dawkins as well.
