Rumor... Clowney to Seattle

[QuickLightning]

Looks like he no longer counts towards comp picks now, too. Since guys signed starting Monday after the draft are not considered. So much for getting a 3rd rounder back.

No matter what they do with Clowney and/or with the draft, the bashing will be strong on here as always. Makes for some entertaining reading though :lol:

 

[hawkfan68]

Considering they passed up some of the top DEs in the draft and picked an LB, I believe that the FO has strong indications about where they stand with Clowney and other available pass rushers in FA. We'll see what happens tonight though....

Thinking KJ and Britt are cut after the draft and we bump up our offer to Clowney. We got a LB is the 1st, be better be able to replace KJ.

KJ is a great LB, he is coming off of one of his best seasons, the defense was not strong last year and cutting KJ downgrades the D even further; why are so many on .net suggesting we will cut KJ?

KJ looked phenomenal in the 1st half of the season. Enough so that I questioned my call to trade him in the off season.

Then he completely gassed in the second half.

He's just doesn't seem to have the stamina anymore. It happened in 2018 too.

It's official. Clowney no longer counts towards comp picks. That was an expensive 1 year rental...

Not really.

Just one less pick for everyone to complain about next year.

I mean, he was no Sheldon Richardson.

A huge reason they drafted Brooks

The amount of time our D was spending on the field was enough all of them were gassed. Can't lay that off on KJ alone. Hopefully the moves we have made will enable them to get off the field quicker with more 3rd down stops and turnovers.
I really believe we[re in much better shape going into the coming season as compared to last year. Our new additions should be able to keep the opposition from spending so much attention to Clowney too, which would really enhance his ability to shine.

 

[Largent80]

We added a good corner before the draft, and Amadi has a year under his belt as does Blair. I'm liking the secondary. They will add a FA DE and maybe a DT as well, plenty of time.

My guess is the Seahawks are just waiting for a team to make an offer Clowney would be willing to accept; then we would match it. Wouldn't make sense to just not get a 3rd round comp pick. That way, Clowney will not feel offended by whatever contract he gets as i think other teams are not going to offer as much as he wants.

Last season we were thinking 18-20+ million a year for him but his stock dropped to around 12-16 million range. That would be a steal if we can get it at that price for couple years or even a one year deal.

That's exactly what's gonna happen. I believe it will be in the 16 mil range. They didn't release Britt and Fluker for nothing. They are going to add a body or two on that D-line. Either it be Clowney, Yannick.,Judon, Jones etc...

Not really. Unless we were happy signing only Clowney.

I just saw that today the Giants put something called the "UFA Tender" on Markus Golden. I'd never heard of it before and it is something that's rarely used by teams, but Clowney's situation might call for Seattle doing the same to him if they can.

I know the Seahawks agreed not to Franchise tag Clowney as part of the trade, but the UFA Tender is not the franchise tag, it's something different entirely (the deadline to franchise tag is already past anyways). Basically, the UFA tender is to protect teams from players holding out to sign until after the comp pick deadline, screwing them out of a potential compensatory pick. Clowney would be able to negotiate and sign with any team up until the deadline (July 22nd). However, once that date passed, he would only be allowed to sign with Seattle at his previous years salary + 10%... A way to force a decision either way... I know it would surely piss off Clowney, and I wonder if Seattle would just not want to deal with that. It's an option though possibly... :stirthepot:

The Giants placed the unrestricted free agent tender on Golden, Field Yates of ESPN reports. That means if Golden doesn’t sign with another team by July 22, he can only play for the Giants this season. It also means that if Golden signs with another team by July 22, he will count toward the 2021 compensatory pick formula, meaning the Giants might still get a compensatory pick for him even though the deadline passed today.

This is interesting... seems like a no-brainer for the Seahawks and it doesn't violate the agreement not to franchise tag him.
