First off, he’s still a pro bowl level player. Second off, the market for edge rushers is friggin insane. I’ve said this a few times. I’ve read some posts here about all these edge rushers everybody wants to sign & I’m wondering if you guys realize how stupid the money will be. I’ve read Bud Dupree? That’s laughable. The guys not even good & will get like $12-$13 mil a year. I still say, despite the disappointment, that Clowney is our best bet. Currently Spotteac has his contract at $6.6 mil this year. Do that in a heartbeat. Despite no sacks, in half a year he gave us 4 TFL, 6 hits, and 4 batted passes, plus great run defense. And he did this injured. Im saying this right now & I guarantee I’m right......Clowney will be the best value at edge rusher this offseason. If he really gets $6-$8 mil that’s such a better value then the contracts these other guys will sign. If we had the cap room, I’d be all in on Lawson. But we don’t. A dominant run defender who gets a lot of pressure & disruption despite low sack totals at $7 mil is our best option. Watt is a defensive lineman, not really an edge rusher just as a clarification. They did of course move him out wide for matchups at times. I agree on Clowney actually, but I think he'll get around 10M and I'm not sure about his knee. The Titans will know exactly what's going on with it. As far as Lawson, he's gonna get the tag. Edited March 1, 2021 by tgo Thrill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I think we probably will get him back unless he just gets offered a multi year 15 million average per year deal. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was just using him as an example of a guy I’d want if we had plenty of money but we don’t. My point is I think a lot of fans are going to be disappointed if they expect a significant FA at the edge & for our situation Clowney makes the most sense if his price tag is in the 7-8 range.

This offseason is highly unpredictable, so I kind of leaned more heavy into staff connections just putting out that offseason plan because it's such a crapshoot. But if you told me to predict one single thing that I was most confident about in terms of signing guys, it would probably be that Clowney will be on the roster in 2021. Watch me be wrong though - who knows. Edited March 1, 2021 by tgo Thrill 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SleepingTitan Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 Yall gonna be real mad when Watt puts up 5.5 sacks in 6 games and goes down for an entire year for his 20th surgery. He's gonna coach em up though. Be making more than the entire defensive staff on the sidelines combined. Btowner, and tgo 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oiler FANatic Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 The thing about his 95.5 sacks since 2012 is that only 26.5 of them are since 2016, the other 69 were between 2012 and 2015. IsntLifeFunny, and titanskick8851 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzTitan Posted March 1, 2021 Report Share Posted March 1, 2021 I was going to say it seems a bit odd he signed with another indoor turf team given the association it can have with some injuries, but apparently the Cards stadium has roll out natural grass. I don't like the signing from their perspective if it means they can't resign Jones. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
