Is Jadeveon Clowney a realistic target in FA?

Carolina guy, plays a position in which is our weakest on the team. Texans already paying JJ Watt 100 mil who plays the same position as Clowney. Maybe they wont break the bank. Obviously we would have to worry about other teams with more cap space, but this could be the type of splashy move Tepper would make. I think Clowney should be our priority in FA.

Dudes gonna get a big dollar contract.

Very few of those work out ever and I haven't seen enough if him to think he'd be anywhere near worth the contract he'll be getting. 

Plus he's still living off the college reputation he had. Never lived up to it.

What type of contract you expect him to get?

At least 12 a year.  The Texans already set his market by executing his 5th year option.  Had they thought they could get him for less, they would have negotiated a contract.

Texans gotta franchise him, for at least one more run, right?  They're having a great year, on the strength of that D.  They would be foolish to not try and work something out.  That being said, I would be all for us taking a shot at locking him up long term.

Meh... has had trouble staying healthy and seems to be playing on raw talent, never struck me as a guy who wants to be great and is willing to put in the work to capitalize on his potential.

Not sure about his work ethic, but he has missed 4 games in the last four seasons.  He got injured the first year, but since then has been better than average.

    • My general take on the state of the team not going too in depth is this: Either Morgan or Canales (hard to say whether it’s the players or the system/coaching, and that goes for any team) has been responsible for considerable strides forward on D and a bit more productive offense, but it’s been a small sample size and we collapsed at the end of the year. I lean towards it being more Canales growing as a coach and building a culture of buy-in and getting the most out of players in the locker room. My reasoning for leaning there is that Morgan was part of the Fitterer stink and it’ll take him a while of sustained success in roster management to overcome that in my mind. Next year is a big year to see if that was a fluke or not. These big signings this offseason are exciting and sometimes teams can have amazing FA classes but more often than not those who spend big and “win the offseason” don’t show the results in the regular season.    As far as QB goes, in a vacuum I’m completely fine with the Pickett signing, he’s ok value for a backup and a huge improvement over Dalton. If Bryce went down there isn’t a huge drop off there and if the rest of the team builds on last year they could win games with him under center. I’m not sure the ‘85 Bears could win games with current Dalton under center. But the O is just so damn limited with Bryce and Pickett does not push him at all, he’s purely a backup. So I agree we I’d love to see a QB with some upside drafted, a guy who could actually push Bryce if/when he struggles or doesn’t improve any further. He’s improved steadily the last 2 years but it has been from arguably worst in league history to still below average. I’m not convinced he can get any better than purely average at absolute best. I hope he can man but I just don’t see it happening. And the longer we keep penciling him as starter the less confidence I have in this staff. Even with our unexpected relative success as a team last year sometimes you do have to take another step back to take a step forward, and that could mean moving on from Bryce, and temporarily going with a slightly worse player like Pickett while aggressively trying to upgrade the position and taking dart throws in the draft/free agency on upside players. I know, there wasn’t much available this offseason outside of Willis, and this draft class seems to be poor at QB. But I’d have preferred we try something and if it didn’t work and we took a step back then just keep trying until something hits. Rolling with Bryce is just delaying the inevitable and living in purgatory.    just my 2 cents, hope I’m proved wrong
    • His market value is 15.7 million. Not worth it to bring him at his age, at that price. If we were to bring in a veteran, DeAndre Hopkins is available for 2 million market value. I've said this in other threads, get Keenan Allen to play the slot. He's as good as a pass catching tight end and is market is under 7 million.
