Any truth to the Clowney trade talks?

MrB · Aug 23, 2016

I just read a blurb that the Cowboys and Texans might be in talks to trade for Clowney. Anyone else hear this? According to what I read it would be for Leary, Church, OR Wilcox (not AND, but OR). I don't see any way they would want Church or Wilcox but if they did I would drive them to Houston myself.

That was my response too. Just wondering if y'all have heard anything about this.

Some lady name Katherine Acebedo wrote the article.

Broaddus said he asked about it and was told there was nothing to it

If Houston is willing to do that deal, you can bet your ass the Cowboys would be getting the short end of the stick (in case its not obvious, meaning there is something seriously jacked up about Clowney they know that the Cowboys dont)

reminds me of the Amarillo Slim quote on making bets with strangers:

Son, when a man bets you that the jack of spades will rise out of the dwck and squirt water in your ear, son don't take that bet, for as sure as eggs is eggs, you'll end up with a wet ear.

What's his value? He skipped a year in college, then hasn't done much in the pros.

strange isn't it? He was so hyped coming out and as far as I can tell, he hasn't done squat. He's been injured quite a bit hasn't he?

Yea he's been injured a lot. He also is not a great fit for the 3/4. He's more of a 4/3 DE.

It would be very fitting if a Clowney joined this circus.

Its the perfect Jerry move. Get an oft injured player who hasnt lived up to expectations. Jerry's boys can fix him and hit a homerun making it a steal of a deal. When in reality the guy would probably finish his career in Dallas playing about 4 games this year, and being released.

I'd take him.

The question would be how much do we give up...

cockstrong · Aug 23, 2016

He absolutely dominated last preseason game and has been electric this season so far

I doubt they want to trade him now

Yeah Houston Is very excited about clowny putting it together this year. No way anything is true regarding this.

Colombo is the only injured cast off we have gotten that was worth it.
