Can we poach any bottom dwellers in a trade?  Jets or Dolphins?

 

Chubb is available for trade.... I don't know about surrent chubb, but I thought he was going to be like Parsons or have a similar impact....

 

* I think he's getting around 20 million this year....so thats over one mill per game....maybe ask the phins to kick in some $$$$ as well..

Should have kept Clowney.

He isn't even that effective as a pass rusher, he's a run defense guy nowadays especially.

I think the main point was saving $$$ and they were able to roll over the cash saving next year too.

*I also think they didn't forsee drafting 2 edges and didn't want lazy clowney to rub off on them. Either one can coast by on shear talent like clowney has for 10 years...

It would have to be the bad influence factor for me to endorse it.
The money they can deal with. I believe there was dead cap from it as it is.

Well isn't that just typical...

Let the young guys get even more reps then.

He was doing work lately too. Sucks.

Thats a given. But the point remains that an already struggling pass rush group just lost their best rusher, if you can call him that at this point.

Oh sure, and this is obviously a loss for the defense overall.

But it's not like we're losing someone Brown where it's a massive downgrade to replace him.  There's even a very valid argument to make that with increased snaps, Scourton and/or Princely could end up playing better in a few weeks than Jones would have been playing himself.

Sometimes players just step up their game to a new level when given more of an opportunity.
