Jadeveon Clowney really thought this offseason would become his big payday. It has not worked out that way thus far.
Dianna Russini of ESPN reported that the free agent DE/OLB is looking for $20 million per year in negotiations, however, teams aren’t willing to go that high, considering that most of the top pass rushers were franchised at much lower salaries.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Network stated Clowney hasn’t found the market he expected and that the Seahawks offer could wind up being his best option.
The former No. 1 overall pick of the Texans back in 2014 was franchise tagged by Houston last year before trading him to the Seahawks at the start of the regular season.
The 27-year-old played in 13 games and recorded 31 tackles, three sacks, an interception, two defensive touchdowns, four forced fumbles, two recoveries and three pass defenses.
