It's easy, and only takes a few moments.It’s interesting that they’ve made 3 trades to address OL depth and haven’t lifted a finger to address TE. Perhaps they actually have something schematic in mind, running more with 3+ WR for example as all our WRs seem to be good blockers relative to DBs. And/or they like the TEs more than we know, may have a 6th OL on occasion.So far no surprising cuts. I am still hoping for a Rodney Harrison type of cut at TE.
Given the garbage receivers they have, this is nuts to me.

I think the difference is the holes at OL were at the backup positions, which is easier to trade for. The big hole at TE is for a starter - we already have a few TE2-3 typesIt’s interesting that they’ve made 3 trades to address OL depth and haven’t lifted a finger to address TE.

They would have been better to have him sit out and get nothing?This is one of the most lopsided transactions in recent memory. Absolutely embarrassing for the Texans.
A binkie of some on here.Giants cut Kyle Lauletta.

Agreed w a lot here but you're always over paying in most cases. Its Just the nature of the beast.While the Seahawks clearly got the better end of this trade Clowney isn't worth 16-17M. He is good but not THAT level of good. For a price like that you want a game changing type player. Clowney is very good but not game changing IMO.
I've always thought the worst kind of players to sign long term are those consolation stars.
The ones when you pay 1-4M less for discount versions of the top guys.
For instance a guy like Dee Ford. As in "He is our Von Miller/Mack/ect" No he isn't. You are paying just 2-3M less for a far inferior player who can be taken away/managed by the top teams.
Clowney to me is in that same ball park. He is like Chandler Jones in a lot of ways. He gets a lot of pressures and sacks but can't really ruin your day when it matters. At least that is my opinion on the player. I know a lot will disagree. The fact is though that he couldn't ruin the Patriots day and was never able to take over a game or force constant double teams or change the way they had to play.
You pay top dollar for a guy who makes you change your game plan. Not for the guy that makes you chip block him while you shrug and absorb the 1-3 bad he will force and continue on as usual.
The Jetes cut this year's 3rd round pick, Jachai Polite.. How bad do you have to be for that to happen??? (unless he's injured and they are going to IR him).
There is no reason to cut him at this point if they want to put him on IR.
They can IR him now without waiving him, he just wouldn't be able to returnThere is if they don't expect him back this year. Waived/Injured. You're assuming that the Jetes current GM is smart enough to cut a veteran and then re-sign him tomorrow after placing Polite on the IR..
