Re: Rumour: Jimmy Smith being shopped
Jimmy & Senat & Hurst for Clowney = Done. Gotta get Texans GM drunk first, though.

Re: Rumour: Jimmy Smith being shopped
Well, it's been a few days, i've read the arguments and i've searched the highlights and the stats....I still don't see anything special in Clowney other than his name and his measurables, which do not amount to the numbers he wants to earn IMO and I continue to believe hold out hope that EDC sees it the same way. If you can fleece O'Brien in some way AND get Clowney to accept a reasonable contract offer - fine. Otherwise, to quote SVP..."What are we doing???!!!"

Re: Rumour: Jimmy Smith being shopped
The Texans have the second most cap space in the NFL this year. They are going to have the most at $79 million next year. They can bring back any of these guys easily if they want to. Space isn't an issue. Value is. That's what's driving this. The price that Clowney is asking for iis too high for what he's shown. That's why GWBR brought up Mosley. It's a similar situation to what the Ravens went through this offseason only they didn't think Mosley was even worth the franchise number.

Re: Rumour: Jimmy Smith being shopped
Well, the franchise tag number goes up by 20 pct if a team franchises a player a second time, so it would cost the Texans at least $19.2 million next year. Who knows if they trade him this year or not, but I do find it interesting that the Texans’ beat writers think Clowney will be traded this year.

Re: Rumour: Jimmy Smith being shopped
With the injury to Young a Jimmy Smith+ pick for Clowney would seemingly be off the table. Is it even possible if the Texans were willing to accept a second round pick for Clowney to fit him under the cap?

Re: Rumour: Jimmy Smith being shopped
Ironically James Hurst generated a lot of draft buzz by shutting down Clowney in the 2013 opener. He got a bit of hype going before snapping his leg and going undrafted
