Were the Chiefs trying to acquire Demarcus Lawrence?

Teams shouldn’t be spending huge money on pass rushers unless they are truly elite, and the deal should not be 5 or 6 years long.

Alex Okafor was a great get. He’s got half the sacks of Clowney, he’s a good run defender overall like him and he is built similarly. Give me Okafor at 1/3 of the price of the pass rushers getting paid. Then draft pass rushers to build around them.

I’m fine with paying a LB or DB big money. Hitchens and Honey Badger got paid elite money when they were signed and it’s still nowhere near as much as a premier pass rusher would get paid.

Why do you think that is?

Why would you want to pay elite money to players that don't make elite impact?

Clowney is a work in progress? How so?
