Ferrell is a high potential rusher that fits us so well. He’s dirt cheap for 5 years and we could have money to add more players due to cap flexibility.

In one of Veaches press conferences he said to make moves you need cap space AND draft picks. Iirc it was after releasing Berry.

To me, it sounded like a guy wanting to trade for a blue chip guy.

Clowney is an elite run stuffer and is a good pass rusher that has played in a passive 2 gap read and react system in the NFL.

In a system that is pressure and multi look based, he’s almost perfect. He would be rushing the QB more than in Houston and his role would fit his skill set a lot better. His body type is also ideal for the position.

Because he's a younger lesser player than Clowney at this stage.

The money part I get. That's a lot especially if they want to pay JOnes up there.

But saying Clowney isn't an elite player? Nah.
