DE Jadeveon Clowney
Prior to free agency, Jadeveon Clowney was expected to get some big offers. But according to NFL Network, he’s been disappointed at the lack of big offers he’s gotten. Somewhere in the neighborhood of perhaps $20 million was expected for his services, but clearly that hasn’t happened. So could he lower his price tag a bit?
In 2019 with the Seahawks he had three sacks. Clowney has been good in the past with 9.0 and 9.5 sack seasons in 2017 and 2018, respectively. But Pro Football Focus also backs that Clowney was still productive last year despite his dip in sacks. He was handed an 88.0 overall grade in 2018 and only dropped to a 87.3 mark last season and he has the third-best edge defender grade from the analytics outlet in terms of defending the run since 2017 (91.3) as well.
All things considered with the Bills, Clowney would need to lower his price tag, and if he came to Buffalo, that could make Trent Murphy a cap casualty, since the Bills still have to consider re-signing players of their own, such as Tre’Davious White, Matt Milano and Dion Dawkins.
I occasionally have a hard time evaluating Jadeveon Clowney, because sometimes it's like watching an alien play an entirely different sport. pic.twitter.com/wxpKnS1kbX
