We have to talk about DE/EDGE as the weakest position on the team.
With Jacas a no-show so far, and Landry still working through his knee injury... it is time to get real about a FA DE.
We can't count on Jones & Ponder all season.

Barth mentioned the idea of signing Clowney for a 1 year lightning bottle type of role. And I'm not dismissing it.
He had nearly the exact same stats as Landry last year in half the starts in DAL.
Sure, he's way past his prime, but he's still very strong and can set the edge and still get to the QB.

If we can't figure out a big trade (Thibodeaux, Highsmith) would you consider Clowney or Bosa?
 
I still prefer a Boutte and Douglas / 6th for Thibodeaux trade at this time.

The weakest position on the team is off-ball linebacker.
Otherwise fine, although I'm only signing Bosa if he agrees to go back on the juice.
 
Pass rush is their weakest link by far. Nobody is scared of their DE/Edge players. Landry is okay, but Jones is a JAG.

I've never been a fan of Clowney, but he's familiar with Vrabel. I won't be shocked if he's a late off-season addition.
