Jadeveon Clowney reunion?

Multiple teams (including the Seahawks) are showing interest in the former number one pick.

He definitely has something in the tank. He's the ultimate one year at a time guy. But he's a hell of a player. At a low $ deal, why not?

Hes another DL... (Demarcus) I dont want to take rotations from guys.. but him Fowler, Lawrence.. the veteran rotation that gets results

He's only 33, made about 100 mil in his career. Has already played here. Nothing wrong with depth.

The O-line doesn't rotate in and out, but the D-line does. Snag him to give 100% and wear down the O-line.

At the end of the game, it's a sack fest against those worn down O-lineman!

Yes and Yes on picking him up!

I approve of this message

I still vividly remember that one play that propelled him into the national spotlight.

It’s strange that I don’t remember much of anything about him from the one season he wore Seahawks blue.

Anyone have a take on why he’s played one season for so many different teams?


ETA:
I wonder if the Hawks actually have interest or if that’s just spin coming from his agents team?

The downside would be sacrificing a promising young DE on this year's roster. It's kind of the Rams approach. We just have to be conscious that next year we're probably going to need to rebuild the DE group a bit. Fortunately, I think DT group will still be in pretty good shape.

Id be for it. Still a high-end run defender who can provide some rush. Very underrated career IMO. Would help keep everyone fresh.

Yeah I want Clowney rotating with Fowler Jr. More than makes up for the loss of Boye Mafe. The Bengals thought they landed a poor man's Micah Parsons but instead he's just an average rotational piece

A bit off topic but in the world of maybes... Christian Gonzales for 2 first round picks. He said he loves Spoon, they workout together and when asked if he was confident about signing with the Patriots he didn't say yes, he said "I hope".

Screw the cap numbers, the Rams have proven it means nothing. Bring in both of these guys and we will have the best defense in the history of defences!

I wouldn't mind bringing him in as depth and he can still be a great rotation piece. I don't want Mills to lose too many snaps but Macdonald is smart and I'm sure if he sees a need filled with Clowney I trust him.

Clowney would be a FANTASTIC rotation piece.

Wouldn't mind it at all if they brought him in but as you said, not at the cost of Mills losing snaps.

Then again, this would enable the Hawks to ease-in Mills into playing regularly before they just toss him out there for the full (or almost-full) 60 minutes.

“A bit off topic”, are you high AF?

Come on Bro, that BS is so far off topic even I recognize it.

You don't remember his 2019 away game against the Niners? It was one of the best of his career. Five tackles, a sack, a strip sack, a fumble return for TD, and innumerable pressures all over the field? So many Hawk fans remember him for that one game, and forget all the games where he had little to no impact.



Part of the reason he plays on so many one-year contracts is that he himself sees all of his contracts as one year deals. When he was playing for the Panthers, he said that he views all of his contracts as one-year deals, and if he overplays the contract, he will go upstairs to negotiate a new deal.

He is a scheme fit player, and an inconsistent one at that. His time in Seattle is not an aberration. He disappears for several games (while remaining consistently stout against the run), but then absolutely dominates on occasion. Teams bring him in to bolster their line for a year, before finding someone younger and/or more consistent.

It has been a great strategy for him, netting just shy of $100 million for a player who likely doesn't break half that on long-term deals.

I'd bring him in on a heavily incentive laden contract. I think he has a motivation issue, and needs something to stay engaged.

(edited to correct that it was an away game. It was such a great game, that I totally forgot that it wasn't at home)

Oddly enough I don’t remember that game, not sure why.

I’ll have to go look for the highlights.

I’m still wondering if the Hawks are even actually interested in him though.
The more I poke around the less I believe we are.

It says it's his best plays vs the Niners, but they are all in that one game.

Which is probably, in fact, all of his best plays vs the niners.

That Niners game was among the best individual performances I've seen from a Seahawks DL. He was unblockable that night.

That's game against the 9'ers Clowney went ape s*** on them. It reminded me of football game in the movie Fast Time's at Richmond high. Where the All-Star football player's younger brother and Sean Penn totaled his car.
But turned it into motivation lol.

IIRC, he dominated against the Eagles that season too. One of those was a playoff game.
