As we continue to watch the market for Jadeveon Clowney, I am told by several sources the asking price has been moved off that $20mil+ number and it’s closer to $17-18mil. This could spark more interest. Also told Titans and Seahawks are still “interested”

ESPN’s Dianna Russini has reported that free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has reduced his asking price of $20 million per year on the contract he awaits to sign by $2-3 million.
However, the Seahawks find themselves competing for Clowney’s services for the 2020 season. The Titans have spoken to Clowney’s representatives and seem to be pursuing him as well.
“We have touched base with Clowney’s representation, and we’re kind of seeing and navigate where that one might be,” Titans general manager Jon Robinson told ESPN.
The Seahawks face a threat with Tennessee holding the fifth-most salary cap space in the NFL with around $32.5 million, while the former has No. 27-most in the league with $11.3 million and must clear additional space quickly.
The Seahawks could end up re-signing Clowney, but it could take a series of moves to do so, and they must before Tennessee has a chance to entice the prized free agent.
