You make a great point .... but ....
I never said THEY thought he is a bad fit .... I said "I don't see a fit" ...
He will have been on 3 different teams in his short tenure .... began last year wanting huge bucks ... still wants huge bucks ... and his production isn't worth top dollar IMO ... I don't see a fit ... But I don't make those decisions ... JMO
I’d prefer to pass , let him get his retirement fund from some other Superbowl bound team
The Clown knocked back Dolphin approaches in 2019 and 2020 and we moved on acquiring Ogbah from KC and Lawson from the Bills. The ship has sailed and the Clown is left on the dock.

I thought Jackson debunked the 17 mil offer to Clowney from Fins. Also, we signed those edge guys really fast in FA, making it seem like they were primary targets. Not saying they weren't interested this year, but probably nowhere near his original asking price.

Seahawks were (and still may be) willing to pay Jadeveon Clowney $15 million for 2020
Much has been written said about teams that have interest, that may have interest, that could have interest, that at one point had interest, and/or that had no interest in defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.

Overrated, IMO, and not worth the $.now his price is $15M. Maybe that is $12M-$15M now. This is the guy that puts this defense over the top. Constant harassment and our corners will make for a stifling defenseSeahawks were (and still may be) willing to pay Jadeveon Clowney $15 million for 2020

3 sacks last year, and has never had a double digit sack season.
Good player, but more reputation, than actual production.

not sure how much of that was Watt. You make a fair point, but in our defense, he wouldn't excel?
If he were the move that would put us over the top, I'd probably sign him...but he isn't. $15 mil/year is pretty high IMO.

We need better LB's
This move would make this defense legitimate. He is a potential 10 sack a year guy. Anyone who says his production is an issue has not watched him play. He disturbs the quarterback almost every play.
He is well worth 15 mil per year since he plays a premier position. We may have Ogbah and Lawson already but you can never have too many good pass rushers.

The article from Jackson says Miami made no offer.
Sources: Clowney lowers price to $17M-18M
Free agent Jadeveon Clowney is now seeking a number closer to $17 million to $18 million per season, and the Seahawks and Titans remain "interested" in signing the three-time Pro Bowl selection, sources told ESPN.www.espn.com
Jadeveon Clowney Rejected $17M Per Year From Dolphins?
Update: Barry Jackson of the Miami Herald says an involved party told him the Dolphins did not make free-agent DE Jadeveon Clowney an offer. Jackson adds that the Dolphins liked Clowney and would have beennfltraderumors.co
So Clowney's price is where Miami made it's offer. Was KVN the fall back or were they looking to get both? Just like real estate, the seller is showing desperation and the next buyer could even get him cheaper. To me, it's all about guaranteed money. That is probably lower too because his asking price is lowered. Defensive end is still a huge need. Miami should cut Albert and offer a deal to Clowney.

Clowney is more of a run stopper than a pass rusher at this point
I'm pretty sure that boat sailed a long time ago and we're moving forward with the guys we have now......guys that actually want to be here.
1 day contract so he can retire a Dolphin.

His “production” is far better than the sack numbers. He’s still a load and gets pressures and contains the edge. That said, last year was not a great showcase for him entering free agency. I doubt Miami bites unless the number got down closer to $15 million.
