Clowney note

[HPF Bob]

That is where you show some Clowney highlight tapes and tell them "you're thisclose to getting this guy if you'll just part with an extra third. Whaddayasay?"

Latest from the Miami Herald:

The Houston Texans have dangled a first-round draft choice and Pro Bowl edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney in a proposed trade for Dolphins left tackle Laremy Tunsil, but the Dolphins have asked for more than that, according to two league sources.
According to one person briefed on the discussions, the Dolphins have asked the Texans for another high draft pick in addition to Clowney and a first-round pick.

Ugh. I might do that for Dillard, but not Tunsil...

Or maybe this is just Miami playing the media.

Or this is the Texans playing the media. Okay not how we normally visualize the Texans.

Since Clowney needs to sign first and he currently doesn't have an agent plus the Texans currently have no GM, it is hard to tell who is calling the shots right now or what they might agree to. The Dolphins may think they might as well ask for rape just to see if the Texans agree to it.

I'm afraid we're looking at another LeVeon Bell situation.

[HPF Bob]

I could see the Texans sending Clowney to the Chargers for RB Melvin Gordon and some 2020 draft picks thrown in but it might wait until after Week 3 when the two teams play each other before they pull the trigger.

Clowney balked at the Dolphins because he "wants to play for a contender". Well, the Chargers were in the playoffs last year and the weather there is great year-round. He might regret agreeing to play in high-tax California rather than no-tax Florida but I bet that wouldn't even enter his thinking.

Gordon would be an excellent addition to the Texans roster and their best RB since Arian Foster but the Texans imperative at this time is to find a capable LT who can protect Watson backside and Gordon can't help them meet that need.

Granted, but they weren't interested in Williams for the Redskins who, other than being long in the tooth, is a capable LT. I'm not sure what is all that special about Tunsil. There's a lot of bad answers here. It may be a matter of finding the solution that stinks least.
