Mortensen: Keep an Eye on Clowney

Recommended Posts

On Golic & Wingo just now, he said to keep an eye on him regarding teams looking for pass rushing help.  Said the Jets tried to trade for Frank Clark and may look to Clowney next, as he is only franchised and doesn't have a long-term deal yet.

Interesting...

Would you trade our first for him (considering we would have to find a way to pay him too)?

I don’t want Clowney but this isn’t Madden guys. Build through the draft...the Panther mantra right? Except Norwell and Norman walked and we used that money to pay KK who disappeared and Matt Kalil.

I don’t mean to beat a dead horse but in the world outside of Madden you simply can’t have some all star team of underpaid over preforming rookie studs. At some point you have to pay the performers and the issue is the Panthers have NOT built through the draft and instead allocated sources in duds.

Considering we had to restructure Luke's deal just in order to sign our draft picks.

 

There is litterally no chance we trade for a guy who is going to be one of the top 5 highest paid defensive players in the league

I agree to build through the draft.  Paying him would really hamstring us, and he just hasn't been as impactful as I expected, nor has he been very durable.  Just posted the question bc Mort presented him as a possibility and there was a good number of posters here who wanted to go after him before he got tagged.

Mario Addison has had more sacks. No thanks

Clowney has made the pro bowl the last 3 years. Addison has never made it and is not in the same stratosphere as Clowney. 

I still say "hell no" to the OPs question because we would have to give up a first and more importantly pay him.

    • I'm super excited about the guys we're getting back, and fortunately this year, outside of Robert Hunt, we haven't had any season-threatening injuries. Rico has earned the start, but I am excited to have both available.  The team is finally turning into the run-first team Canales said he wanted to be. As for JT Sanders, I think he has lost the most be being out. He is probably our best receiving TE, but with the emergence of Mitchell Evans & with him and Tommy Tremble both absolutely balling in run blocking, it will be hard to fix something that isn't broken. I'm hoping Turk Wharton can help with our pass rush. We really havent gotten to see him much due to injuries, but we desperately need anyone to provide some pass rush juice, which is what he was brought to do. I'm the most excited about Jalen Coker returning. Theilen may have been the most clutch last year, but I've watched a lot of film, and Coker was the most consistent WR we had when he was out there last year.  I think he can be an ideal #2 to Tmac. While Coker doesn't have the raw athleticism XL does, his route running, savvy, and overall football IQ simply make him better.  I think with the fact Coker can play both outside and in the slot will give our pass game more versatility.  We have been running a lot of 2 TE sets, and I think Tmac & Coker should be the primary WRs for 12 personnel. The other WRs (XL, Tremayne, Renfrow, & Horn) all have roles, but I dont think any of them can fully replace what Coker can do. I do think Renfrow will be inactive this week if everyone is healthy bc of how valuable Tremayne is for ST and as a run blocker. So happy that we are playing meaningful football heading into November. We are still almost certainly a year away, but we are absolutely moving in the right direction     
    • Better than a fragile starter, though
