I would still look to draft an edge rusher in the draft, because Clowney would most likely be a 1 and done here, and we will need his replacement.

Not sure why everyone wants to get rid of Ford. When he was in there our pass rush was beyond elite. When he was out it was mediocre. If were going to replace him at least do with with a guy who isn't also known for missing time.

Ford looks like he's trending in the wrong direction. We only saw what Ford could do at the beginning of the year and we never saw it from him again. Imo idk about his knee holding up much longer. He was a non factor in the SB. With his age and tendinitis... I'd move him

Clowney has had micro fracture surgery and was hurt the majority of last year too. So where's the upgrade?

I'd rather have an elite pass rusher when healthy than a elite run defender when healthy.

This.

And he played on a really talented DL in Hou as well. During that time JJ Watt was having DPOY type seasons and Clowney never really looked great even when he got plenty of 1on1 chances. I really dont get why some people like him so much.

Clowney is over rated.

No need to sign for him now with COVID-19 having everyone home anyway. Completely different than a Brady signing, which enthuses your base and brings other pieces of the puzzle to your team with the sheer announcement of it.

The owners will devalue you if they can,....we've seen it time and time again. When workouts are set to get underway I'm sure he'll get his money.

But every player that doesn't play for the 49ers is elite.

I know right? With the Titans hurry up and sign this guy so the Seattle doesn't get him and waste a third round pick. I know they'll get a Compensatory pick but I do hope Seattle doesn't get him and I hope they don't trade for that end on Jacksonville.....then they have no pass rush again

Scratch that they have Bruce Irvin and he's great right
