After nearly years of pursuing Jadeveon Clowney, the Cleveland Browns were able to get him for the 2021. His impact on their defense was everything they could have hoped for, helping them make significant strides on that side of the ball over the course of the season.2021 Production24 solo tackles, 9 sacks, 11 tackles for lo s, 2 forced fumbles, 2 pa s deflectionsPlaying Clowney acro s Myles Garrett proved to be a devastating combination. They were often able to completely take away outside Bashaud Breeland Jersey running efforts and limit quarterback from rolling out, Chad Henne Jersey creating a choke point the entire defense could tee off. Four of Clowney's nine sacks came in the last two games of the season, but his pre sure was felt all season long.Not only did it benefit Garrett having Clowney acro s from him, but it benefited linebackers like Jeremiah Owusu-Koramoah, because he was often free to fly around and make plays.Scroll to ContinueClowney did deal with some injuries over the course of the season which limited his impact in some games, but it was a healthy season compared to Chris Jones Jersey what Clowney has experienced in recent years.Free Agency Status: UnrestrictedClowney is scheduled to be an unrestricted free agency. It's unlikely the Browns would slap the franchise tag on him as that would be a one-year deal for $17.5 million. It's po sible they would use the transition tag, giving them the ability to match another team's offer.Free Agency ProjectionGiven the amount of time and energy the Browns have put into pursuing Clowney, it's unlikely they are just content to let him walk. It doesn't help that if he were to leave, they don't have anyone to step in and play that role. They would be forced to replace him likely through a combination of free agency and the upcoming NFL Draft.Clowney has been pretty honest about his wants. Money will be one of the factors that Anthony Hitchens Jersey drives his decision, but he loved playing with Garrett and praised defensive coordinator Joe Woods at the end of the season. So it at least gives the impre sion Joe Montana Jersey that so long as the Browns make a competitive offer, he's likely to be inclined to stay.That might be in the neighborhood of $15 million per season. At that point, it's simply a question of years. They may continue a year to year relationship, but if the Browns were to go as high as three years, the third year would likely have the means to get out of the deal.
