JediXMan Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Dude was always overrated as a pass rusher. Good run stuff but way to inconsistent as a pass rusher. Browns like the Titans will regret signing him soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BlackTiger Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 I doubt we sign him but i do think he would be an upgrade here Our DE room is Muhammad, Banogu and Turay We need more than that Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewColtsFan Posted April 12, 2021 Share Posted April 12, 2021 Whenever I see a tweet or some other report talking about our “interest” in some player it makes me wonder... and think. 1. We typically don’t leak. 2. So who’s is leaking our interest? 3. Either an agent trying to drive up interest... (maybe Clowney’s agent). Or... 4. Another team trying to drive up interest. (Like the Eagles with Wentz). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But it is interesting that we are keeping tabs on him. Not many here want him but Ballard seems to be still interested even after having Houston on the team for two years. He might have them valued closely for all we know. That said I think the Browns will be willing to pay more than Ballard. That we can pretty much count on. No doubt the Browns think they can win it this year and they view Clowney as another playmaker they are willing to add. Another interesting development for sure.

At Houston's age there is also a good chance he won't be able to achieve his numbers from last year. I would rather sign Clowney given the choice. I think there is a good chance Houston signs elsewhere too. You notice no players are clamoring for his return like they were for TY and Rhodes. It might come down to plan C for Ballard.

JoeThornburg Posted April 14, 2021 Share Posted April 14, 2021 I'm telling you right now that's only because they are looking at the Steelers oline and salivating at the prospects of just beating them, but that's AFC Central football. Otherwise, pretty garbage signing unless he comes cheap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hes never been in trouble for behavior, he did get a one game suspension for a hit I think. Hes not exactly the most likable personality but I dont need that from a defensive end. I would have been glad to see him come here, considering our current DE situation. I think hes better than Turay, Muhammad and Banagu. There is no one on the roster that is hands down better than him Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His knee injury history (and type) takes him completely out of the discussion for me, period. Sep 7, 2014 Knee Meniscus Tear, Clowney underwent surgery for a torn lateral meniscus in his knee. Nov 23, 2014 Knee Meniscus Tear, Clowney missed the final 5 games of the season dealing with complications from his September surgery to repair a torn meniscus in his knee. Dec 8, 2014 Knee repair, Clowney had knee microfracture surgery to regrow cartilage (this is always a big red flag to me). Jan 23, 2017 Knee Strain Grade 1, Clowney underwent arthroscopic surgery on his left knee after the 2016 season. Jan 8, 2018 Knee Strain Grade 1 , Clowney underwent arthroscopic knee surgery shortly after the 2017 season ended. Dec 2, 2020 Knee Meniscus Repair , Clowney underwent meniscus knee surgery ending his 2020 season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
