Rumor NFL Free Agency Rumors

He won't get big money obviously, but he'll probably get more than Mary got. I think he goes somewhere with a chance to compete for the starting job. That is currently Cincy, NE, Miami, LA, and Washington. Whichever teams don't draft a 1st round QB will be all over Winston and Scam. I wouldn't rule out Denver or Jax either.

 

Watch Clowney do an 1 year deal for 16 million with the Colts..

Mark my words!

 

Wouldn't surprise me, then he hits FA again next year for more

 

I can see Jacksonville going after him.
Maybe Denver depending how high they are on Lock.

 

John Clayton reporting that the Seahawks might be only willing to pay $13-15 million/ yr for him and that Everson Griffin is their backup plan. Says the Jets aren’t really interested anymore and that the Titans are still trying to make it happen.

 

^^That is the correct market value for Clowney around 15 mil....why I predicted from the beginning we probably wont get him. If we go way above market value thats a mistake. So probability has it Clowney will not pack up and leave Seattle for a few million dollars. That said the only shot we have might be in the guarantees of the contract we offer....a 4 year 60 million guaranteed 45 of that might do the trick....and works well for both.

 

Going to have to be reeeeeal creative if we are going to sign Clowney, Logan, and a backup QB.

It may be one or the other with Clowney & Logan at this point.

 

Probably coming down to that. That said I like our position in this. Considering the projected number of QBs and WR going in the first round....looking at 11 spots being QBs or WR, that gives us a high probability in nailing a DL and CB in the first 2 rounds. Not worried at this point if we don't sign Clowney.

 

This is one of those situations where the Tennessee tax situation may help us.

Clowney as a Titan - no state tax in 8 home games, and two away games. 10 of 16 games state tax free.

Clowney as a seahawk - 8 home games and two away games in some of the highest state tax rates in America. Maybe 2 games in tax free states out of 16.

If it's a couple million dollar difference on paper, it's really more than that.

 

The more I think about it, the more I feel we are going DT/CB with the first pick (barring we don’t sign Ryan or someone like Apple-otherwise DT/OL). We clearly have holes or upcoming holes there. It makes plenty of sense up to now anyways....
