Jadeveon Clowney Deal could be in the works

Markus Golden can be had for about $9-10 million less on a one-year deal and is younger than Clowney. He had 10 sacks, 13 TFL and 70+ tackles last year while Clowney had three sacks, seven TFLs and about 30 tackles. Golden has played 3-4 outside linebacker most of his career, but he's 6'3" and 260 pounds, so he should be able to play DE. Clowney may be the bigger name, but you could argue that Golden has been a more effective pass rusher (27 QB hits last season) and is a better value.

Being out here on the west coast, I saw my share of MG while he was with the Cards. With his hands in the dirt or as a stand up DE, he has been very effective and a highly under rated run defender. Set the edge well.

Didn't realize he had 10 sacks with the Giants though. That's a testament to his overall skill level. IMO he was one of the few bright spots on defense for NY last year.

I'd be elated if the Saints brought him in.
