They will always be relevant as long as RW is their QB. I have to say their FO has done an amazing job drafting and aquiring FA's. Everyone thought they were done after the legion of boom and while I don't think they are close to the skill level of that team, they likely will be competing for a playoff spot while we landing a top 5 pick for the second year in a row.
Why didn't Keim make a run at Clowney?

He wanted to go to the Eagles or the Seahawks. He nixed a trade to the Dolphins.
He picked where he wanted to go

Didn’t he talk his way out of a trade to Miami?
Yes.
Keim has many faults. Him not trading for a guy who wasn't going to resign with anyone but the Seahawks or Eagles isn't one of them.
I didn't hear that he only wanted to go to those two teams, makes sense.
A real question though is what will it take for people to demand a trade to us? You are on the right path
Consistent winning IMO.
We don't know that Keim didn't make a run for Clowney.....I assume many GMs did, we just didn't hear about it, particularly if Clowney had no interest. But, the fact remains, the best players usually want to play on the best teams, assuming the money is about the same, especially after their rookie deals are over. We can expect that Russell Wilson and Pete Carroll will keep the Seahawks competitive for a long time.

Clowney refused to go to Miami. He wasn't coming here.

Signing Clowney as a one year rental makes little sense. Now if he opts for FA, then signing him would make sense.

Maybe not right this moment, but let's wait & see how the rest of the season plays out. As Murray continues to develop, we can easily be a place where elite talent will want to play. We live in a world of instant gratification. As we shore up some obvious holes, having a guy like Murray will pay long term dividends. Hard to ask for patience with this Cardinal franchise, but I for one, am buying our future under Murray.
Keim signed a baseball player? No wonder the defense is struggling.

He is the only factor.

Clowney would be an OLB in this defense like he was in Houston. We need interior lineman a lot worse.

Is awesome but currently plays OLB and not on the Dline. I think Corey Peters is very good but the rest of the DLine is mediocre at best.

And Keim got him for a lot cheaper than the biggest MLB name in FA cost.

I thought that CC would have been too expensive to keep, I was very wrong.
Not much else you could ask for. This isn't Madden where you can get any and all players to sign with you. It's a two way street.

I thought it was because Keim was afraid of Clown(ey)s.

Who would you have cut or restructured to make room?

Things have changed.
I thought the same thing...I was wrong as well.

Clowney is a good player but a huge tease. He looks like he should be Bruce Smith.
