It depresses me that I totally see it

But we absolutely shouldn't

 

Why are people so hellbent on typecasting Duke Johnson? He was an all-purpose back in college wasn’t he? And he shouldered the load for the Browns in 2017. Why in the hell would the Texans, with all their needs, think “You know what we need in return for Clowney? Another running back.”

 

Because the Texans are stupid?

 

Yeah can’t put it past O’Brien

But it seems as illogical as those Lombardi reports that clowney would be traded for a receiver

Made no sense

 

It always keeps coming back to this and it’s so painful to watch because of how true it is

 

Nothing stupid has happened.. yet.

 

They've convinced one of their best defensive players to not sign his tender because they were looking to trade him, sooooo some stupid has already occurred.

 

Steelers have Trey Edmunds who has had a decent camp/preseason that won't make the team. Would he be a fit for the Texans?

 

Recent EDGE trades:

PHI to NE: Michael Bennett for 5th(2020) and 6th(2020)
KC to SF: Dee Ford for 2nd(2020)
SEA to KC: Frank Clark for 1st(2019), swap 3rds(2019) and 2nd(2020)
NYG to CLE: Oliver Vernon and 4th(2019) for Kevin Zeitler(OG) and a 5th(2019)
OAK to CHI: Khalil Mack for 1st(2019), 6th(2019), 1st(2020), 3rd(2020)
NE to ARI: Chandler Jones for 2nd and Jonathan Cooper (OG)
NE to OAK: Richard Seymour for 1st(2011)
KC to MIN: Jared Allen for 1st(2008) and 3rd(2008,2009)

Clowney is probably the most comparable to...Ford? I'd say he's between Ford and Clark (both of them were on contract years) in terms of situation and value.

Fans of teams think they're going to get a steal but some of these asks aren't completely unreasonable (even if they won't happen). Pretty much everyone is banking on the fact that the Texans don't have a GM and might (very likely) make a stupid move just to get rid of Clowney.

 

Clowney has the leverage to not sign it until a deal is reached with the team of his choosing....

 

Right, but he was gonna sign the tender until he found out they were intending on trading him and said nah fuck that. Basically, they made this situation irreparable.

 

While that's true I do legit feel like the situation was already irreparable and this still isn't much new

 

I guess what i'm saying is...teams can be stupid without having made a trade. Them being in this situation from the get shows at the very least the beginnings of stupid. Them being in this situation without a GM shows a lot more stupid.

 

I do agree with this. What got us here is very very stupid.

 

Which is why we shouldn't take the bait to keep being stupid

 

Deshaun Watson took the most sacks in he league last year and did very little to help him in the offseason. I understand part of that was his fault for holding the ball as long as he does, but the point still stands. Why Texans so stupid?

 

That's more-so my point. Now if they exit the situation with a haul, the stupid is reduced. But they're not gonna lol

 

We addressed the position!

We just did it with bad players (cuz stupid) and we fired the guy who did it (way too late)

 

The fact that we weren't even "in" the Trent Brown talks still blows my mind, we should've been able to get him OR Solder the year before at the very least.

 

I would gladly give up the Saints 2nd rounder (comparable to Ford trade) for Clowney

 

Remember when the Eagles jumped ahead of the Texans in the draft for Andre Dillard? How did that make you feel?

 

Do you think the New Orleans Saints 2nd rounder has similar value to the San Francisco 49ers 2nd rounder? I'd argue that's much less value

 

Why does he keep screaming WAH!

 

Defeated but still optimistic. Every CB in the draft was still on the board so I figured we could still address a position of need. Then we didn't.
