    Cleveland #Browns are signing Jadeveon Clowney to a 1-year deal for $8 million. Source says an additional $2 million in incentives will be available. Plan is to play Clowney opposite Myles Garrett. A salary restructure or release of Sheldon Richardson may be required.

    Wasn't Houston going to visit us? If so, it looks like a little tightening of the vice by AB may have pushed Clowney faster than he wanted.

    Just for context: Clowney 2020 // Vernon 2020.

    We don't have a drastic need into which a first-round pick will be thrown.  Who are you, Andrew Berry, and what have you done with Berea?

    This tells me that his knees passed some sort of physical. Injuries robbed Clowney of some of freakiness but there's no doubt he can be a force...especially against single blocking assignments and especially if he doesn't have to play every snap. This could be an extremely important signing...make it happen. I also think this means we're going CB in the draft.

    I surely hope, if this is true, that Clowney and his 3 sacks in his last 22 games played doesn't keep the Browns from adding a DE early in the draft.

    They can't double team them both, especially with Jackson now added to the middle push into the DEs. We are doing to D what we did to the O last offseason. This team is headed for greatness.  Can ya feel it???

    Clowney will be a very nice addition.

    And this will be the understatement of the 2021 season.  LOL!? The players know what is happening. You can hear it in the interviews.

    Don't think of Clowney as a past #1 overall pick.. think of him as Olivier Vernon. For those of you who don't click links, their performances last year were separated by 0.1

    Realistic expectations are key.. if you expect Myles Garrett, he'll disappoint. If you expect Curtis Weaver, you'll be happy.

    As to who to take.. I'd say this allows us to sit back and see which top-20 defensive talent falls to us.  The pool of not-elite-but-pretty-good is a large one.

    It is All about rotating DUDES upfront.  We’ve acquired the dudes now.  Still want a DE/DT within first couple picks. 

    This is a Great signing if Clowney  is on 40-50% snap pitch count.  

    We are finally assembling depth where we can keep guys fresh with little to no drop off.

    I'm expecting a better run stopper and faster, quicker version of Vernon. The room just got a lot better for depth as SdBacker points out. Fresh legs sure worked for TB.

    So I'm here to expect an injured rookie who has never taken an NFL snap...?

  • Just for context: Clowney 2020 // Vernon 2020.

    We don't have a drastic need into which a first-round pick will be thrown.  Who are you, Andrew Berry, and what have you done with Berea?

    What Berry is doing- is: this is our year, we're going for it all. Apparently Berry doesn't see any edge talent at #26 superior toJavedon. I hope it's just another one year contract for Clowney. 

    We've bolstered the secondary in FA- it allows us to take the best LB on the board in the first round.

    Let’s be real here with the Vernon/Clowney comparison.

    I don’t think it matters we have a lot of key contributors on potential one year deals...(free agents or could be cut before 2022 with little to no penalty).  We can go in any number of directions including edge rusher at 26.

    But id rule out QB, LT, RT, RB, K, P

    Sig bet it's either DB or WR (barring Micah Parsons miracle drop)
