Clowney note

[HPF Bob]

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.

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.

The Seahawks started making a strong push last night. My friend says if this falls through, he thinks Clowney will not be traded...but doesn’t know if he will report.

Two teams Clowney specifically stated he'd like to play for - Eagles & Seahawks.
Seahawks LT is former Texans Duane Brown so they can't help us there.

Total, complete, utter incompetence.

A video game is a better personnel manager than the Texans.
