This has nothing to do with sack totals, but more with the idea of value.
Clowney notched three sacks last season with the Seattle Seahawks throughout 13 regular season games, but those sacks do not tell the full story. He was battling a core injury, which will require off-season surgery. Still, even with that impediment, he was able to generate 30 pressures, more than Bud Dupree (as just outlined) and more than DeMarcus Lawrence, both of whom appeared in all 16 games for the Pittsburgh Steelers and the Dallas Cowboys, respectively. So, where is the risk? The cost. Clowney has indicated, according to reporting from Bleacher Report, that he is seeking a “market-setting” contract. (Kirby Lee-USA TODAY Sports)
