Just considering the players on the field, I'd make that deal. But that would immediately put us over a barrel with another huge contract negotiation.
The Texans aren't even sure if they want to pay Clowney's contract. He's become a very productive defender for them and is just a freaking tank against the run (watch him week 5 vs Cowboys), but pass rush is what makes you money, and he has never developed into a high-end pass rusher. Dude has never had a double-digit sack season in his career. I think D-Law is a better player than him honestly.
So the Texans are stuck in a position where they have to give sack daddy money to an injury-prone guy who's talented but not a sack daddy. If you offered them 2 cost-controlled years of Zeke, I bet they'd take it in a heartbeat (assuming BOTH players ended their holdout, lol) because I don't think they intend to resign him - not at the Lawrence/Clark/Ford market rate.
