Here’s my outside the box idea for DE.
Offer Clowney a 3 year, 40m deal that structures like this.
9 fully guaranteed in his first year with performance bonus of an additional 2m when he gets 10 sacks and 50k per week in workout bonuses. Once he hits 10 sacks, his 2023 salary of 13m is triggered to be fully guaranteed. Same incentives for 2023 are put in place to guarantee his third year salary.
9+2+850,000=11,850,000
13+2+850,000= 15,850,000
14,450,000+2+850,000=17.3m
If we sign him, the $$$ has to motivate him. With a structure similar to that, I think he would be a really good signing to pair him with Karlaftis and it would send a message to Frank Clark at the same time.
