I've never been a huge fan, but after he stormed off today and having been such a disappointment so far, what would you be willing to give up in a trade to bring him home with 2 years plus the option left on his rookie deal?  What would the Texans be willing to accept?

John McClain ✔ @McClain_on_NFL Clowney has known since after practice Wednesday he wasn't playing. Left stadium to take tickets to family. 3:04 PM - 9 Jan 2016

 

EDIT: Do not believe everything ESPN tells you...

Pretty much. Short of him being flat out released the only thing they would take a look at is Anderson and picks. 

Their board doesn't bat an eye when the possibility of shipping him for a 3rd comes up.  For the last pick in the 3rd round?  Risky?  Sure.  But holy crap you can't say it's not intriguing if being home really is where he belongs and can thrive.

Oh absolutely. If Gettleman has picked 2 BPAs and neither of them have been defensive end you absolutely make the phone call to Houston and check their price. Hell any team with a need at DE that feels the value is there would be dumb not to call after the 2nd round.

I was a huge fan of him when he was playing for the Gamecocks but I just thought he doesn't have a big heart to play in the NFL. He took plays off often. I dreamed of seeing him suited up that #90 Panthers jersey but not now.

Considering his injury history too, no thanks.

      2025 Schedule Release - post 'em when you find 'em

      So dumb I get it, they want to expand the reach of the NFL, but it's not the right sport to be playing games halfway around the world for a variety of reasons.   But one of the main ones is what happens if a player has an injury in that game? A lot of times, you're not supposed to fly right after some injuries, so when they happen here it's not a big deal, the player stays in that town for a few days and then flys home separately.  But that opens a whole bag of worms if the game is played all the way out in Australia. Plus just needing that long of a flight to get out there and back, even if they get a bye week after, it means a ton of travel and needing to adjust to a new time zone directly after another game.

      I don't think it was fear of the unknown because he tried to hide the extent of the injuries that made him drop. After the drop, the reports I heard were that teams knew what was wrong with his knee and it was something similar to another athlete from a few years ago (honestly don't remember if it was even a football player).  That it was basically one of those things where he should be fine for a while, there isn't a huge concern of immediate injury risk.   But what he has going on with his knee is something that is degenerative and there's little chance he'll be able to play more than 5 or so years on it before he won't be able to play anymore. So basically it was teams knowing if they draft him, he's probably going to be only a rookie contract player and even if he's great, you might not be able to get use out of him on a second contract.  Which in turn makes the drop make sense, but I'm kinda surprised some contending team didn't take him late in the 1st, hoping he'd put them over the top on a SB run but then not even have to worry about giving him a big contract in 4 years too.
