The Houston Texans have been sending mixed signals on whether they want Jadeveon Clowney around long-term. There were reports that they fired former general manager Brian Gaine over his desire to keep Clowney long-term, although there is no way of proving that.
Personally, I like Clowney and like his potential even more. He’s only 26 years old and is in the prime of his career. There is the fact that he has three Pro Bowl selections and has shown versatility as a defensive end or outside linebacker. Players like that don’t just grow on trees.
The Texans should be trying to find a way to keep him long-term as they’ve seen the play of Whitney Mercilus decline over the past several seasons.
