They got too cute is what happened. Once Houston tried creating a rift between us and LT we should have made our intentions not to trade him public. The leaking to the media for sure had not come from our end.I believe the reporting is that we were bargain bin shopping and asked about Clowney.
The Texans became interested in Tunsil. We said we weren't interested in trading Tunsil.
They offered Clowney and a first round pick for Tunsil. We replied, sorry, that isn't nearly enough.
All the while Clowney has expressed he doesn't want to join a rebuilding team.
Sounds like we handled it about as well as you would like?
They should have bailed out after clowney said he didn't want to play here. their ego told them they could convince him and all they needed to do was get him here.
I appreciate they did their due diligence. But they stuck around too long and let Houston try to flip the whole script on them. It's a dirty move and I assume that won't go over well in the future between us and them.
