Not exactly apples to apples

Clowney a former first round pick hampered by injuries coming off his 5th year option didn't want to play under the tag and wouldn't show up.

I would venture to say Yan is a better player at this point and a more consistent player.


But on the point of trading him... I'm only trading him for a first or a package like a 2nd and a 4th or something along those lines.
Otherwise he plays under the tag, accepts a new deal, or doesn't play for anyone.

I don't know what is being offered but he deserves a 21-22m per year average with at least 50-60% of total contract fully gtd.
If they offer him something like that and he turns it down, I play hard ball and tag and force him to play (outside of getting a really good trade offer from an NFC team)

My thoughts exactly...

"if unable to get long term extension....tag..." 

Well we weren't going to just let him walk off into free agency and get a (possible) 3rd-5th round comp pick for him... screw that.
hahaha
