So you can add in the OMG salary cap hit this year which they seem to be handling just fine so yes Clowney has been worth it. For what they gave up he had been elite. But will never live up to his pre draft hype
I mean Shaq Lawson has a "positive grade" when you talking about pass rush grades.
Clowney was brought in to hit the qb and he's been avg at it so far. They took a gamble (and ate that money) hoping he'd replace Frank Clark and that's just not the case. They gave Ziggy $9M and he's basically a ghost.
Outside of the cap hit I don't think they gave up much, I agree with that.
I will disagree they're just fine in regards to pass rush...they spent almost $25M on two guys and they're damn near the bottom of the league in pressure rate (31st).
