JC has already turn down deals paying him good money. Dude is not worth that price.
Its not about what I think. Its about what this organization has showed us. They've had plenty of opportunities to address that position and they addressed it with Smith. That's not us fans saying Smith will hit the ground running that's this organization. They didn't address the position in the draft or in free agency aside from Smith.Aldon Smith hasn't played football since Nov 2015. Penciling him in as the starting RDE is kind of risky at this point, especially when you have options in FA that mitigates that risk.
It's pretty amazing how many people think Smith is just going to hit the ground running after not having played in a NFL game in over 4.5 years.
He should be signing for a 1 year 7 million dollar deal based on what he showed last year.JC has already turn down deals paying him good money. Dude is not worth that price.
No, he can't. He's not a DT other than "maybe" he could move inside ocassionally on clear, long yardage passing downsHe can play anywhere on our Dline

Abosultely not. I'm not even sure if he's a edge rusher. I know I get it. There's more to rushing the passer than sacks but you don't pay for hurries and pressures. You pay for SACKS.He can play anywhere on our Dline
I simply don’t understand the woody some of y’all have for clowney
Crawford is cheaper and probably better
never I has one athlete made so much cash based on 1 play
He’s also never lived up to the hypeAre we really talking about a 27 year old with 6 years in the league in terms of ceiling?
I believe it's extremely doubtful that the Cowboys sign Clowney, or anyone else, to a $16 million contract. Stephen might have a coronary just to think of it.
You're putting it mild........bluntly speaking, it's not happening. Any fans thinking otherwise are daydreaming, misguided, or both.
He's not getting it and he knows it. Which is why he is asking for less now from what he initially wanted at the beginning of the off season

you would make that move if you were a superbowl contender. Although we have the roster, but new coach, new scheme, etc. and no coach having ever won a superbowl with a new team in their first year, makes the probability very very small, so spending another 8 mill for clowney (who is injury prone and under performer), will probably not get us to the superbowl. although we are playing the numbers game by the number of players we are throwing at RDE, the DB is a much bigger issue.....Releasing Crawford would free up $8 million in cap space.
That freed up money should allow for enough cap space to sign Clowney to a 1 year prove it deal at $16 million (it is being reported he turned down a $15 million one year deal with the Browns) since he remains a free agent late into the offseason.
In my view, this move has a few benefits:
1) Clowney is a better player than Crawford and has a much higher ceiling.
Clowney has 32 sacks in his 6 years in the NFL and that is including his rookie year where it was cut short to only 4 games because of injury. Since then, Clowney has missed a total of 9 games in 5 seasons.
Crawford, on the other hand, has had 23 sacks in 8 seasons. That does include the 2013 season where he was IRd for an ACL injury he suffered in training camp. He remained healthy after that, but he only played 4 games last season after having another injury that brought his season to an end.
2) Clowney has better position flexibility than Crawford does. Clowney can playe DE or move inside if needed. Crawford is a better 3T than a DE, which is where he is expected to play a majority of the time.
3) Signing Clowney to a 1 year deal will make him want to play at a high level at all times and tough out injuries.
4) Clowney is only 27 and Crawford is 30. Clowney is more apt to have a big year, which would improve his market dramatically next year. We wouldn't be able to sign him, but he would yield us a 3rd round comp pick in 2022.
Bring in Clowney and say goodbye to Crawford.

would clowney prefer to play for the browns , or the cowboys ! lol I think he would be excited to come here, but going to clevelandNo, it sounds like his best offer has been a 1 year 15 million with the Browns.

LOL -- I can picture him on the phone, clutching his chest, as he hears what Clowney expects for his services!
