Send in the Clowns

Michael Clayton is one of the best movies I’ve ever seen but I can’t even really say why. It’s just so tense. 

[LinvilleGorge]

He's been considerably overrated and overpaid. But for the right price I'd be all for it.

[Bear Hands]

I’m probably going to be a broken record, but I really feel that Haynes is massively undervalued by the fanbase.
 

As far as I’m concerned, and considering 2022 snap counts, he’s our other starting OLB right now.

I see what they are trying to do. Evero’s scheme runs off of two different edge rushers. We used to call this an Anchor (Run Stopper) and a Buck (Speed Rusher). Johnson and YGM are likely there to set the edge and control the LOS while the other side causes chaos (Burns, Barno, Haynes).
 

However, I don’t think YGM and Johnson are going to be that good at doing it, and I’m more concerned about our front 3 against the run than anything else on the team right now.

Forgot about him. I feel like we have enough to work with for now for a first year in a new system. See what you have with the young linebackers. If needed get a vet before season but give the guys we have a chance to step up

We need to figure out bajan sooooooooo 

If he can stop the run give him the cash

[Aussie Tank]

I’d be all for he’s always been pretty stout in run defence of I’d try swing a trade for Chase Young

I don't think that is a good idea.  We have a new scheme and a defensive coordinator that will be open to every player on this team.  I'm not saying your not right but let's wait to see what Evero can do with our players.

If anyone we should sign Ngakoue.

This is true which isn’t saying much but like @KSpanmentioned he always wants his money and then goes out and is completely below average.

The Panthers can pickup someone just as good as Clowney  and for less  money.

I was going to take the bait and say, "Don't worry.  They're here."

1. I wouldn't assume YGM is a starter.

2. He out produced Clooney on a per game basis

Is Chase Young available? How has his career started so far? He seemed like he had a bright future at first? If he still has all that potential and is available for trade I would look into that immediately.

Seemed like he had a bright future? Lol, dude was the consensus best non-QB in the draft and taken right after Burrow. He was considered to be Myles Garrett level talented. Pretty sure he was also considered better than the Bosas when he came out.

He’s been a massive bust after being the DROY. He’s been hurt for two years but even when he played 12 games in those 2 years he only had 1.5 sacks and 5 QB hits. I don’t recall what his injuries are but he really dropped in year 2 while starting 9 games.

Washington already declined his 5th year options so they obviously have reservations that he’ll ever reach his potential but I don’t think they’ll trade him for peanuts because he was the #2 pick and has been hurt.
