We got Jadeveon Clowney !!!

[sutz]

Sad to lose Martin.

He might be a starter for the Texans, and on several squads around the league. But here he's locked behind Bobby, KJ, and Kendricks for another year or two. Could work out well for him.

Hey, with this move maybe we can keep 'Queem! :twisted:

Basically we are getting Clowney for a thrid round pick we will get back as compensation next year if he leaves plus mingo salary and martin salary so his total cost is 12 million or so minus whatever both players traded made. Not bad

 

[Hachtung]

Pending physicals!!! Remember it was Houston and the Duane Brown deal that Houston ended up failing the Hawks defensive back (can’t remember his name) during physical that ended up us giving up more draft picks. That changed that trade considerably... Hope it doesn’t happen again...

 

[getnasty]

If wanted to be traded to Seattle, who's to say he doesn't sign long term? Seems like nobody gives us a shot to sign him and i don't know how it will work cap wise but i like our odds.

That's a good point. Thing is, we can't deal with him until next off season. Maybe he'll like being around, and practicing against, his buddy Duane Brown.

Cap-wise, we're not in bad shape overall since we just dumped a bunch of salary on defensive stars the past couple of years.

I'm fine with Mingo and a third but I liked Martin..He played his ass off
and always seemed around the play but that being said it keeps the
BBK killer on the team so I feel good.

I must say we just about stole Clowney from the Texans! Just need to get him signed to a long term deal after the season and this will go down as one the most lopsided trades in NFL history.

As bad as I feel for Houston fans, I gotta be feeling worse for Miami fans.

They couldn't come up with a better deal than a couple of backup linebackers and a 3rd?

LOL

No clowney could decline going to miami which he did.

Seahawks robbed Houston! Lmao.

[Cyrus12]

One year rental I guess .

One year rental I guess .

Not necessarily.

 

[Cyrus12]

Also allows us to keep someone on the bubble.

Interesting though that both of these players are really not DEs than LBs. But probably does free up room for Queen.

 

[timmat]

Great for us certainly, but I don’t think we really stole him or anything like that. Teams just aren’t willing to offer much for 1yr rental players. The incentive for the Hawks was higher because he said he wanted to play here, thus increasing chances of resigning after the season. But I’d bet there weren’t many options out there for Texans.

The interesting thing for next offseason is do the Hawks even want to pay $20 plus million for a D lineman who’s never had double digit sacks? Obviously D lineman can dominate in ways other than sacks, but that price range is usually reserved for the pass rush monsters.

Time will tell, but for now, this is so sweet and just another reason to get excited about the season.

And another nod to our organization and fans for making this team a desired destination for players of this caliber.

They probably did, but Clowney didn't want any part of that organization. Miami is one of the worst-run teams in the league, and have been for decades.
