I agree with this. The strategy hasn't been a big free agency splash but if that left the money for Clowney it's worth doing. Especially on a short deal if that's possible.
If Clowney doesn't fit into our locker room and/or Joe Douglas doesn't see him as a fit, we still have to go out and add some edge players.
Vinny Curry has been linked to us since the start of free agency and he would likely take an inexpensive, one year deal...similar to most of the additions JD has mad.
The only player Douglas has committed to for more than one season is Connor McGovern. The blueprint is very clear right now. He's tearing down the walls and building up the foundation through the NFL Draft.
He is going to fill holes and create competition in free agency, but no starting spots are guaranteed at these positions. He wants to build a team of "his" guys, unlike what we've seen in the past from Tannebaum, Idzik, and Maccagnan. They would sign or trade for just about anybody. Douglas has reminded me of Eric Mangini as an evaluator from the start. He has a price, he sticks to it. He has a particular player that he likes and he'll bring in those guys.
He didn't see too much in Robby Anderson and that's fine.
