I’m not sure if I like this or not, I’ll trust they know what they’re doing but the idea of clowneys talent on the roster is hard to let go

He ain’t coming back. His attitude seems to be a problem, and one of the reasons why he has been operating on one year deals for so many teams.

Locker room chemistry 100%. Same reason why we let Johnson go. Someone times the players attitude can bring the team down more than the talent they have.

Truth is, he’s never lived up to the hype of his potential.  Closest he ver came was those first few years in Houston when they moved him around everywhere.  That being said, he’s a really, really solid player and a great vet to have on the roster.  Not sure why we make this move now?

First move of the off-season that I hate, unless this is what he wanted. he was our best’ish run defender and the young guys ain’t going to learn themselves. 

[MHS831]

You need to play these young guys as much as possible. 

Hard to replace production like this (sarcasm):

was he a problem? I see this as more of a cap casualty. We barley had enough cap to sign our rookies. This moves allows for some flexibility incase of injury.

That $7.7 million in cap savings will allow Dan to bring in a CB and FS

On one hand I would have liked to retain him because he still has value in a rotation and veteran expertise. On the other hand we've invested a very significant amount of resources in our new youth movement and we need to get them development. And at the end of the day despite Clowney being a local story as much as he is liked around these parts the reality is as an NFL talent he has bounced around the league a lot and there is a reason for that. Good luck to him.
