DawgTalkers.net Forums DawgTalk Pure Football Forum Clowney or Juice you can only sign one?

As much as I love Landry I would chose Clowney, he and Garrett together are lethal ...

Clowney everyday and twice on Sunday.

I would opt for Derek Barnett and Akiem Hicks and draft 1 of: Pickens, Watson, Moore.

Barnett re-signed with the Eagles.

Pickens, Watson, and Moore could all go before we're on the clock.

I'd go Clowney. Edge defenders of his caliber are much rarer than wide receivers. Juice was good for us, but power ages more gracefully than quickness. Plus it's much harder to compensate for a bad DE than it is for a "bad" receiver. An offense can attack a bad DE. A defense attacking a bad receiver isn't really a thing to worry about.

damn

Clowney

Unfortunately Barnett resigned with the Eagles for two years.

Clowney. Not even close.

It hurts a little to say that, but yes.

Clowney.

Clowney........not even close.

Clowney because i think that is a weaker position for us and I keep hearing Watson is so good he doesn't need great receivers, average ones he makes better.

Clowney. I can't imagine many saying Jarvis. Now I will go back and be surprised.

So far your right nobody has said Landry ...

My heart wants Jarvis...He is exactly the kind of person you want on your team.
Defensive line is hurting more than WR...so I do have to choose against my heart.

At this point in their careers Clowney is still elite - Jarvis is not. We can all love juice and the intangibles, but having an elite DE opposite MG and the impact that brings is more important.

I see. I mean. It's a pretty easy choice.

Clowney is a no brainer

Clowney all day long. Kinda carried MG at times last year.

Clowney.

Clowney AND Juice - Siamese twins.

Clowney ... but which is more likely to be available? 🤔

I don't see why we can't have both. But to play along, I would hope that we keep Juice. He brings more to the team than Clowney. I think the latter is a great physical specimen and flashes on plays, but I think he is overrated. I don't think he really cares about winning or his teammates. I think he is a hired gun. I want guys who add to the culture of the team and can ball. Landry does both. Clowney provides one of those two assets.

Couldn't have said it better.

What about if you could have Landry or OBJ

Love Juice., but Clowney...

i think the question was posed because right now we can only sign one because of Bake's contract.

i'd love for us to have both. while clowney is priority from a position standpoint, having landry back would seriously amp this team up, and talk about a security blanket for watson. i'd love nothing more than a ticked off Landry making tough catches on 3rd down all season.

While looking at if from the standpoint of who gives us the best chance to get to the playoffs.....I don't think it's quite the landslide that's indicated here. After Cooper, our WR cupboard is bare. DPJ is still a question mark, Schwartz has shown nothing. Felton and Grant are also big question marks and aren't expected to be major contributors. The way Landry can fire up the team and the crowd is something that shouldn't be overlooked. I love what Clowney brings too. I hope we can sign both.

We should be fine to sign both, if we want to.

We have $22 million in top 51 cap space. Our draft requirements wil be lower as we have traded away #1 and #4 this year. Yes, we have a 2, 2 3's, and a 4, 6, and 7, however, the cap impact of these picks will be greatly reduced because of the ones we traded away.

I do think that we will eventually be able to trade Mayfield, but it wil either be as a result of a redone contract, or us eating some $$ to make the trade. I really don't see any way we just dump him and eat the $18 million guarantee.

j/c...

Was looking for $20M/year?

https://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2022/03/26/jarvis-landry-makes-agent-change/

That doesn't make sense, he was making less than that with us and we wanted him to take a cut and he was supposedly willing depending on how much.

$20M/yr for Landry absolutely does not make sense and hopefully his agent didn't tell him he could get that on the open market. If so, I can see why Landry dumped him when the offers weren't coming in.

As for the Browns, it was reported that Landry wanted additional years added on a restructured deal and the Browns weren't willing to add years to his deal.

20 M per year? I’d guess he’ll get 10-12

That's being very generous, IMO. Especially after FA has gone on for a few weeks. But hey, one team already overpaid for him once before.....it could happen again.

I think it's bargain hunting time. Jarvis might have to settle for a contract like Juju got from KC. 1 year, $3.25M but with escalators that could get it up around $10M. That's not necessarily his worth, but at this point in the FA process it might be all he gets.
