YoloinOhio Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Probably no incentive to sign yet. I assumed once the browns restructured with Vernon they knew they were out on Clowney. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Augie Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Just now, Putin said: Wow I had no idea there were teams bidding for him He apparently VASTLY overestimated his market value. Should an agent have tempered his expectations to some degree? He was famous for not being blocked AT ALL on one play in college. He’s certainly a solid player, but he ain’t no Bruce Smith. He’s an upgrade from Shaq Lawson the way I see it. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Saint Doug Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Don’t worry. He’ll sign with the Pats on a $15M 1-yr deal a week before the season starts. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BruceVilanch Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 He thinks he's still worth 20 million because that hit against michigan. I think he is a borderline probowl guy but his numbers haven't been great, he makes impact plays from time to time, but not enough to warrant what he's asking. His sack numbers have never been impressive, but he is solid against the run. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rc2catch Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 I think he would of been signed if it wasn’t for this virus shutting things down. He missed his window and most teams spent the bulk of their play money. Nobody is signing him without a thorough medical walkthrough given his injury history. He wasn’t getting 20 million but he could of gotten a multi year deal, now he’s looking at more of a 1 year prove it deal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BeastMaster Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 Bills should dump Murphy and offer him a one year deal and chance to showcase himself with a promise they will let him go to free agency. He would absolutely flourish on this defense and make himself alot of money 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

machine gun kelly Posted July 9, 2020 Share Posted July 9, 2020 He is so overrated. He’s worth $10-12 mil. at most. How do you rate this guy so high who can’t even have a big year, even one with JJ on the other side. Pass. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really don’t believe he will get anything north of $20 million Yeah it was Miami they offered him 17 million and then offered him what he wanted in 20 million and he said no to both. And the contract I believe Miami was offering was a 4-5 year deal, Now Clowney is looking at a 1 year prove it with no guaranteed money or bonus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Call_Of_Ktulu Posted July 10, 2020 Share Posted July 10, 2020 On a 1 year deal Clowney would be hard pressed to find another team that is as good as a fit as the Bills are for him. Top 5 secondary and enough talent up front so he is not double teamed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Victory Formation Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 He’s a good player, not a great player. Probably worth $10M-$12M a year. He’s never had double digit sacks in a year and never produced the way he should have as a #1 overall pick and his ego is bruised and his mind is blinded to the fact that he’s not worth as much as he thinks but because he was drafted so high his ego is telling him that he is worth more money. Clowney never became the player he was drafted to be and there is a huge gigantic disconnect between how good he thinks he is versus how good NFL teams think he is.

Thurman#1 Posted July 11, 2020 Share Posted July 11, 2020 It's just the working of the market. It doesn't feel like it, but it's still early and if a team with a realistic shot at doing postseason damage sees an injury to a pass rusher, he may get what he's now asking for. Or he may have to drop a few mill and take a one-year deal. Either way he'll be just fine On 7/9/2020 at 1:26 PM, Rc2catch said: I think he would of been signed if it wasn’t for this virus shutting things down.

But you’re right, his price tag was absolutely insane. He wanted a Mario Williams type deal and Mario was way better. Clowney is a better Shaq Lawson and he had the luxury of playing across from one of the best pass rushers (and WM is really good too). He’s not a game changer. One of the most overrated players in a long time. Truly great DEs aren’t looking for their 3rd team in 3 years. i know it’s college but I can’t believe the number 1 overall pick couldn’t get more than 3 sacks his last year in college.
