Multiple sources confirmed on Monday that defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has agreed to remain with the Cleveland Browns. The contract, worth a maximum of $11 million, will see the 29-year-old player play for the Browns for another full season.

Clowney amassed two forced fumbles and nine sacks for the Browns last season, wrapping up what has been arguably his best season in the NFL to date. The new deal presents a payment increase from his previous $10 million one-year agreement with the Browns, which also included $750,000 in sack bonuses.

Last season proved to be a major career turnaround for Clowney, who combatted multiple injuries over the years. While playing for the Tennessee Titans in 2020, Clowney struggled to find his form, failing to make a single sack before a knee injury requiring surgery ruled him out of action for the remainder of the season.

2021 proved to be a year of regrowth for the defensive end as he managed to feature in 14 games and complete the regular season with two sacks and a forced fumble in the final game.

Following this strong performance, Clowney was interested in remaining at Cleveland provided that his financial requests could be met. “You play at a high level, you want to get paid,” he remarked.

One of the biggest surprises of this year’s NFL free agency is the fact that three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jadeveon Clowney still doesn’t have a team. However, this will change before the 2020 season kicks off according to the player himself.

ESPN’s Josina Anderson recently reported that she talked with Clowney about his plans for the future and that the 27-year-old defensive end told her he intends to sign a deal “before the season starts, if everything still goes on time with the season.”

Clowney also said that he has “not narrowed down a final team,” and that he’s “still open” to offers.

Jadeveon Clowney entered the free agency with hopes of landing a massive long-term contract with an expected salary of $20+ million a year. However, recent injury issues he had alongside the ongoing coronavirus pandemic narrowed down his market. Reportedly, Clowney later dropped his asking price to around $17 million a year but still failed to generate much interest.

Most recently, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, and Seattle Seahawks were mentioned among the favorites for Clowney’s signature. However, neither of these teams managed to get the job done in recent months.

Clowney spent 2019 with Seahawks, playing 13 games in the regular season. He finished the year with 31 tackles, 3.0 sacks, four forced fumbles, and one interception.

The 2019 NFL season didn’t end the way Seattle Seahawks’ star defensive end Jadeveon Clowney hoped it would. Seattle suffered a 28-23 defeat to Green Bay Packers in Divisional Round, which prevented Clowney to make his first Super Bowl career appearance. He hopes, however, that he’ll be there next year even if it’s not in Seahawks’ jersey.

Clowney is set to become an unrestricted free agent in March, and he is determined to make his decision based on his chances to win and not money. The 26-year-old told the media after the Packers’ game that his priority in free agency will be signing with the team that can get him to Super Bowl.

“I just want to win,” said Clowney. “I’m trying to get to the Super Bowl by any means. That’s what I’m looking for: Who’s going to get me there? I ain’t looking to get on no sorry team for no money. That ain’t going to fly. I ain’t gonna put my body through all of that just to lose no 16 games, go home with my check. I’d hate that, so that ain’t what I’m doing. So if I can’t win no Super Bowl, I ain’t going to no team that can’t win.”

Jadeveon Clowney has had a bit of a down year this season, managing only 3.0 sacks, but was regardless impactful for Seahawks’ defense scoring two defensive touchdowns. Seattle will definitely want to keep him around while he should attract numerous other suitors around the league as well.

Clowney, who was the first overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft, spent the first five years of his career with Houston Texans. During that time, he had three Pro Bowl appearances and one Second-team All-Pro selection while recording 29.0 sacks.

After Clowney and Texans failed to reach a contract extension agreement, he was traded to Seahawks in exchange for Jacob Martin, Barkevious Mingo, and 2020’s third-round pick.

The breakup between Houston Texans and their outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney seems to be getting near. According to latest reports from NFL Network, Texans are interested in trading Clowney before the season starts with the Miami Dolphins emerging as favorite to land the 26-year-old Pro Bowler.

NFL Insider Ian Rapaport tweeted on Tuesday that Clowney met in person with Dolphins’ coach Brian Flores and other members of the organization in order to discuss Miami as his next landing spot. Dolphins are reportedly very keen on making the deal with the Texans and certainly have assets to pull off such a trade.

For any trade to happen, however, Jadeveon Clowney would need to sign his franchise tag Texans placed on him back in March.  Another issue is that Dolphins or any other team can’t sign Clowney to a long term deal until after this season.

After failing to reach a long term contract agreement with Houston Texans in the offseason, Clowney decided to miss the team’s offseason activities and didn’t report to training camp. However, since he is basically an unsigned player at the moment, he can’t be fined for his absence.

Clowney is coming off his third consecutive Pro Bowl season in which he had 38 tackles, 9.0 sacks, three fumble recoveries, and one touchdown.
