He reeeeeallly overplayed his hand. And now he'll be lucky to be playing by October even if he signs today. Or even playing effectively. Melvin Gordon returned to the Chargers at the end of September and in his first four games he had 44 carries for 112 yards (2.5 yards per carry) including the Titans game where he got two carries from the inch line he couldn't punch in and fumbled on the final one to lose the game. In 2010, Vincent Jackson ended his holdout at the end of October and played his first game the last week of November (he may have gotten hurt - I forget). He finished the season playing 5 games with 14 catches for 248 yards and 3 touchdowns (all in one game). Bottom line is holdouts are usually ineffective for a while when they first return.
no.! too much money, injury history. the jville guy, who cost the vikes a 2nd rounder, would be much, much better. and, we had an extra 2nd.

The one-year deal is believed to be worth $12 million, according to Pro Football Talk. Clowney will be reunited in Tennessee with Mike Vrabel, who was on the Texans' staff during Clowney's first three seasons. Vrabel recently confirmed that the Titans had reached out to Clowney's agent. While his desired annual salary was speculated on throughout the offseason, Clowney has never had more than $12 million "on the table" during his negotiations, according to CBS NFL Insider Jason La Canfora. La Canfora added that, while the Titans were the most consistent player throughout the process, the Browns were also offering Clowney around the $12 million he was reportedly aiming for. It was also recently reported that the Saints had made a push to sign Clowney before the start of the regular season. Seattle was also reportedly keeping tabs on Clowney, who played well during his only season with the club. After injuries wiped out most of his rookie season, Clowney, the No.1 overall pick in the 2014 draft, bounced back in 2015, recording 4.5 sacks and eight tackles for loss in 13 games (nine starts). Clowney earned the first of three consecutive Pro Bowl selections in 2016 while becoming a regular starter on the Texans' defense. During that span, Clowney averaged just over eight sacks, 53 tackles and 18 tackles per loss per season. He also forced four fumbles while recovering six forced fumbles.
I would've thought hard about giving him $12 million for 1 year. Might've been worth the risk. But he's too much of a diva, and I would've been concerned about him screwing up the chemistry of a young, rebuilding team.
Dudes going to instantly pull a hamstring or groin. Not wishing it on him but it's going to be difficult to just jump right in.
The endless pursuit for a legit edge pass rusher rages on.. Still waiting for the perfect cheap,young,durable, 2 way productive DE to magically fall from the sky.
He said he chose familiarity over economics, or in other words "I didn't get near as much as I thought I could".
they are really selling out the farm for a championship this year. in 20201 they are already -71mil. even if brees retires it only saves 14 mil.
