I’d give Griffen $12m and not even think twice about it but I wouldn’t pay Clown more than $14m

I am intrigued by Clowney's talent and if he signed, what the new staff would do for him.

But my intrigue would only go up to about 10 Million on a one year deal. I want Griffen now but I wouldn't be afraid of going into the season with RDE as a high pick, Armstrong and Gregory.

I read a report earlier today that the Seahawks were offering a deal with an annual salary of $18.5 million. That's pretty close to $20 million. And much more than he's close to being worth. I'm glad we're nowhere near this guy and that price tag.

Pretty sure Seattle is competing against themselves at 18.5M. That’s about $10M/pr more than any other team would go.

I question that report.

We've been waiting all week to find out where Jadeveon Clowney would end up. His free agency process has taken a weird turn in that his market hasn't been what many people expected, including Clowney himself.

The inability to travel and go through physicals due to COVID-19 has surely played a part in that. Clowney is coming off of core muscle surgery, and teams would understandably want to get an in-person look at him before offering a top-dollar contract.

According to Dianna Russini, Clowney has been holding out for a deal worth $20 million annually. Those offers still aren't coming, which has led Clowney to consider one-year deals in order to recoup some of his value and hit the market once again in 2021, per Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle. Now, Jake Heaps of 710 ESPN Seattle is reporting that not only are Clowney's current offers below his desired $20 million APY, they're well below that mark.

No surprise. Unless someone cake out and just offered him a ridiculous contact sight unseen it was always going to be th Seahawks. They like him and he likes them

That’s the hope

We've already let jones and Quinn walk due to money. Cooper and dak took big slices of the pie. There's only just so much to feed future signings.

Agree 100%. I bet that is a release from his side. I think he gets a 1yr somewhere in the $12-14M range and he is not worth it. I would rather lock up Harrison and Griffen on reasonable multiyear deals to finish their careers. That gives us the ability to continue to cheaply use the draft to replenish the D. We have an overpriced O and will continue to need to rebuild the secondary and D line through the draft. The front 7 at least needs to be the main source of investment and be solid. Making offenses throw the ball because they cannot run will improve our secondary's effectiveness immensely. If we can get consistent pressure with the front 4 and collapse the pocket we could be a top 10 D. If we get these FA I definitely think we need to get the best CB we can get and really need 2. If we cannot get a Dorsett or someone like it cheap for the slot maybe we get a Duvernay in the 2nd.

Duvernay is not worth a 2nd. That is a huge reach.

If you are really asking me if I’m a Cowboys fan you should hang out here a few more years and read only, and then be allowed to post again.

I Haven’t made up my mind on JC really. Why waste energy on something you know isn’t going to happen. We, I mean they, don’t approach FA like that. We, I mean they, will never win again until our, I mean their, FA approach changes. You can’t build a championship team through mediocre drafting and bargain basement FA spending. The past quarter century has proven than.

New England is mediocre at drafting and does not spend a ton in free agency.

I would be surprised if they did both, at least not with people that would be large upgrades at both. In other words, signing McCoy, Griffen and (for example) Snacks, would be committing a hell of a lot to the D-Line, and I doubt they are going to commit that much to the D-Line, and to larger free agent contracts in general. And I think that's okay. If, for example, we got Griffen, Woods would probably be fine at DT flanked by McCoy and Griffen.

I don't think Harrison would break any banks at this point given what other DTs have gotten thus far but I agree, I doubt we'd do both a DE and a DT unless they are two bottom of the barrel bargain guys.

Genuine question.....how is Clowney worth this? What exactly has he done in this league to warrant this?

GMO415 · Mar 23, 2020

Apparently, it's only DAL that can have a high price QB and not be able to sign savvy veterans.

Cowboysheelsreds053 · Mar 23, 2020

They better do something else besides McCoy thinking they have plugged the middle and fixed the problem that has plagued this team since the days of Glover and Ferguson. Hopefully they are not thinking that Kinlaw, will be there at 17 because we thought the same with Aaron Donald and seen how that went.

I wouldn't be surprised to see a deal with either Griffen or Harrison.

I knew this was going to happen
Not the Seattle thing, but the price. Way too expensive for a PT player that is oft injured

what has any guy on our team done with the exception of the OL for anything. Budget shopping is a proven losing method
