00:00What if I told you, Brian, what if I told you that a 6'5", 270-pound,

00:10former number one overall pick, edge rusher, just hit free agency?

00:17Who is that?

00:18Jadavion Clowney just got released by the Panthers.

00:21Now, I'm not saying this is an answer to our prayers.

00:25Okay.

00:26Clowney's 32, 5 1⁄2 sacks last year in 14 games.

00:31Did have 9 1⁄2 two years ago playing for the Ravens.

00:36Clowney has never had double-digit sacks, which is pretty remarkable.

00:41I actually called my shot on Clowney, and nobody wanted to hear it way back when.

00:46Ask Chase Hughes.

00:47We had a wager on this.

00:48I never thought Clowney was going to be the dominant force people did in the NFL.

00:53He's just a little bit too much of a tweener.

00:55But he's been good, and for a team that's been damn good.

01:00He's been good.

01:02He's been good, but when you come in as like a situational guy, you get 9 1⁄2 sacks.

01:08That says a lot.

01:09Well, then is it a guy you want Washington to look at?

01:12I don't know if he – I think Clowney's at a point now where we're looking for somebody

01:17to play and keep playing for some years.

01:19We're not in the position for him to keep getting him.

01:22If they're going to add somebody at this point, odds are it's going to be somebody in this

01:28part of town, like the veteran that's been released.

01:31There's going to be more releases, too.

01:33I don't think we need to –

01:35You don't jump on the first one.

01:37Right.

01:37You can wait and see what's going to happen.

01:39Well, it's not going to cost you a tremendous amount.

01:41That's who's going to be coming available now.

01:46Frankly, I'm not surprised that Clowney became available.

01:48And I think the amount of tweets I get about Zedarius Smith and stuff, like this is where

01:59if Washington's going to be bringing in a free agent, that's what you're talking about.

02:03Von Miller, who's 36 years old.

02:06Preston Smith, who I know Preston well and really, really like him.

02:10I kind of wonder if he's not done.

02:12Zedarius Smith's 33.

02:13Matthew Judon's 33.

02:15I like Zedarius.

02:17Judon can get to the quarterback.

02:20I haven't really looked at how he is against the run.

02:22Judon last year in Atlanta wasn't great.

02:26Doesn't mean he's not great.

02:28What I love about Von Miller, Von Miller's a leader and he's a worker.

02:33He can help some guys.
