Seahawks trade for Jadeveon Clowney

[PhillyRam]

I don't want to see the Eagles get him.

Can't see Rams making a deal for. Would like him in horns but, not going to happen.

Eagles only have $6M in cap space for next year, but opened up $40 this year by redoing a bunch of contracts.

They have 18M still available, but I am sure they want to roll it into next year's cap. So the question is do they destroy next year's cap and give up assets, by going for it this year with Clowney?

They don't have a lot of contracts to rework anymore or players to cut to save cap room They have already mortgaged some of their future.

For example if they cut the 35 yr old Kelcie next year, they take a big cap hit because they reworked his deal a few times pushing more guaranteed bonus money into the future. They have done that with a number of players.

Clowney has placed a higher value on himself than makes sense. The Dolphins have a lower value on himself than makes sense, or perhaps have a higher value on Tunsill than makes sense (two high draft picks plus a year of Clowney for a year of Tunsil?)

I don't think Clowney will be playing - at least at the beginning of the season.

 

[ReddingRam]

Trade is on. He is headed to Sea. for a physical

However, reports have said that Clowney prefers to play for a pretender such as the Eagles or Seahawks.

Fixed it.

Dude doesn’t show much common sense.

Let's hope you are both right. I don't want a Clowney trade to upset the balance in the league. I haven't heard much on Clowney here locally which i good. However, google link here for the Hags moving on Clowney.

That would not be good for the Rams either.

...in exchange, the Seahawks will send Houston 3 starting offensive lineman and a wad of Pete Carrol already chewed gum.

Supposedly Seattle is deep into talks for Clowney per NFL Network. They have cap space to absorb his contract straight up, but would likely be parting with some high draft picks to bring him on board.

Speculation, but guessing negotiating will START at a first and third unless Seattle wants to toss in Wright. Guessing it would end up as Clowney only and closer to a first only or a second and fourth.

To Seattle it looks like, hope they gave up a lot

 

[ScotsRam]

Multiple defensive players apparently given up

Could disrupt the early part of their season. I doubt he will come me in as physically ready as Donald has the last two years from his holdout and even Donald was quiet in his first few games.

Clowney isnt in Donalds post code. Hes never had more than 10 sacks in a season and hes always injured! I'm not remotely worried.

If this is true the entire organization needs to be fired maybe even the owner.

Not like Seattle is the place to get OL help. The shitbirds did the exact same thing last year with Frank Clark, and the Texans are the stupid organization?

 

[OC--LeftCoast]

Would have preferred Clowney went elsewhere

Wonder if one of the “two players” is a RB, I would think so

 

[Ram65]

Looks like a done deal.

According to Jay Glazer of FOX Sports, the Seahawks and Texans “have agreed to trade parameters” which will send Jadeveon Clowney to Seattle. It's a huge get for the Seahawks, as they land a pass-rusher to partner with Ezekiel Ansah, after dealing Frank Clark to the Chiefs.35 mins ago

Didn't say Seattle wasn't also. But yes Houston is a shit show. No GM is just the least of their issues.

That's impressive 3 of the top 7 most sacks given up. Way to protect your franchise.

 

[ScotsRam]

Barkevious Mingo, Jacob Martin and a 3rd.

That's so one sided and that's coming from someone who really doesn't rate Clowney.

The Texans need a fucking GM.

Goddammit.

Oh and giphy sucks.

The Texans need a freaking GM.

IMO he's one of the most over rated players in the NFL. One 12tard tried to say "we got our own Aaron Donald now". A guy who can't stay healthy and has 29 career sacks? Yeah good luck with that.
