I don't get the two for one player deals...you don't get to keep the extra guy without cutting someone you already have...so it's more like you give up the player you trade, plus the player you cut, to get the two new players.

So to my way of thinking, this is the deal Houston got:

give up
Jadeveon Clowney 
(as yet unknown player to cut...probably an edge/OLB guy, since they're getting two of them in the trade)

get
1st round bust
6th rounder playing like a 4th rounder
3rd round pick next draft

I don't know the money situation, but they surely got some cap room as well.

What they were really looking for was an offensive lineman, but only Miami was willing to do that. Clowney said no, the Dolphins locker room revolted, and Deshaun Watson is probably going to die.

Laremy Tunsil and Kenny Stills traded to Houston

QB Eagles

O'Brien is drunk and/or doesn't know what he's doing. If someone acts quick they might be able to get Hopkins or Watt.

the clowney trade was abysmal but getting a franchise lt for your star qb aint no thing

they gave up more than you want but  watson was gonna get killed without something else
Zero hour, Michael. It's the end of the line. I'm the firstborn. I'm sick of playing second fiddle. I'm always third in line for everything. I'm tired of finishing fourth. Being the fifth wheel. There are six things I'm mad about, and I'm taking over.

QB Eagles

It is true that it's basically impossible to lose a trade with the Dolphins, drunk or not.

Has Chris Grier ever won a trade? Thanks for Ajayi and for accepting Byron Maxwell and Kiko Alonso to help the Birds get Wentz, dummy.

Speaking of Kiko Alonso, he's demanded a trade out of Miami.

Looks like he got his release instead.

EDIT:  Check that, apparently Yardbreaker was not correct.  Alonso currently on the roster.

Goff just got $110m guaranteed

I never noticed before that his face is perpetually set to that weird not-smile thing people do when they see someone they're not going to talk to.

Can't wait to see him jump into the stands, trying to climb his way up to the boxes to punch somebody.

Or will he?

He just posted a YouTube video with some of him and Gruden's phone call on it.

Gruden is exasperated
