Free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is still up for grabs in the market, and it appears he might be headed to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The 6’5″, 266-pound player had an asking price of $22 million, but no teams during the offseason came close to that number, so he had to drop it considereably to around $17 million a season.
Speaking on The Sports Bash, NFL insider John Clayton from 710 ESPN shared his updates regarding Clowney’s situation:
“He’s going to be interested in Philadelphia because one of the things and one of the reasons he turned down Cleveland is because he wants to go to a winning team,” Clayton explained.
“He turned down Miami twice because he didn’t expect them to be a winning team.”
Clayton also added that Clowney might take a deal in the $9-10 million range to play.
If that wasn’t proof enough that Clowney might be headed to the Eagles — Brian Baldinger reported that Philly will be expected to make some noise this week.

While he’s been productive during his career, Clowney’s missed 21 games in his career and has made it through a full 16-game slate only once. Last year, Clowney procured 31 tackles and three sacks in 13 games for the Seattle Seahawks while adding four forced fumbles and two fumble recoveries, as well as a pair of defensive touchdowns.
