Eagles put in an offer to Clowney

[TheSkaven]

I think Aldon Smith will turn out to be a better signing. Obviously, there's no way I can prove it since Smith's been out of the league for a few years, but I just feel like the player has figured out his direction and is more focused on football now than he's ever been ... and he was a tremendous player before he found that focus.

Time will tell. I’m high on Aldon Smith; I don’t think that kind of league dominating talent just gets turned off after some time out of the league. The real question is whether they’ll let him play.

Clowney is blah. He’s good against the run, OK.

If I told you there was a player available who played in 13 games last year, started 11, and had 31 tackles and 3 sacks, would you spend $22 million for him? Didn’t think so.

Clowney hasn’t had an impact season since 2017.

Just saw this. It's their version of 105.3.

It's already going to be hard to run on them, you can totally forget it if they get Clowney. Good news is their back 7 is terrible and we should have no issue passing. Need quick routes and some YAC.

he is overrated - always hurt

YOLO?

Unless your Bond. James Bond.

For what Clowney will cost, I had no interest in the Cowboys trying to sign him. That contract is not worth the strain it puts on your cap. He’s not that good. Have at it Eagles.

Thing with him.... when he is on, he is great.... But, he disappears for very long stretches.

 

[visionary]

LOL at the Eagles.
So they drafted for 2-3 years down the line but traded for Slay and and offering large cap space to Clowney.

Can anyone explain what they are doing in the Philly front office?

Win

You know, the opposite of what you so staunchly defended for 10 years under Garrett so you might not know what it is

Like that Persian King Xerses once said.."Finish them off with arrows."...Through the airrrrrr.

It will be interesting to see both if Smith is able to shake off the rust and how much he'll be used even if he does. I like the fact that he has matured into a man bodywise. If he has done that while not losing quickness, bend, etc., he could actually be a better player in his 30s, having not been worn down by excessive use.

I'm not getting my hopes up because he has a lot to overcome, but I don't think seeing that is out of the realm of possibilities.

The word clusterfudge comes to mind.

Smart move on their part if true.

Maybe.

Clowney is a good player for around 10 mil/season or so. Clowney is a terrible signing for 20 mil/season or so.

 

[Proof]

Perhaps the most overrated player in football

Carson Wentz has entered the chat

Maybe.

It would be adding more talent and depth to a strength for their team. Obviously contract price is something to consider as well.

 

[Proof]

Eagles always find a way to have a good d-line.

It’s pretty remarkable in all honesty. Feels like they snd Baltimore will always have strength in the trenches.

 

[Cowboysheelsreds053]

But they’re in “Cap Hell”...

They play with monopoly money.

hes only asking for around 16-18 , well at least he told seatle that was his lowest offer

We had zero interest and we were wise.

He is under productive and over-hyped.

I watched alot of Texan games here in San Antonio..

he was pretty much a wanna-be. Watt completely stole all his attention.

So Clowney left.

[BAT]

If I were to get a DE I'd take Everson Griffin but only team friendly deals from this point

Clowney has more upside IMO.

Our luck if Clowney is healthy and is difference between two teams in NFCE race.

Clowney is a game wrecker.

 

[Sydla]

Eagles value the DL. They spent money on DT and now are at least contemplating spending even more money at DE.

We should be doing the same thing by getting Griffen in here. But alas, we bargain shopped at DE.

 

[kskboys]

Clowney is a very good player w/ talented players around him, but he's not THE guy.
