Regardless, Clowney will have to shop his services somewhere else. The Raiders, Titans and Seahawks are among the other teams that have revealed some interest in Clowney.

Its possible that the Browns wanted Clowney however his rate was expensive. Since they desired to squeeze Vernon into taking a pay cut, its also possible that the Browns were revealing interest in Clowney mainly.

It appears we can cross the Browns off the list of groups interested in complimentary representative Jadeveon Clowney.

Under Vernons old contract he was set to make $15.25 million, but it was non-guaranteed, implying that the Browns could have cut Vernon upon signing Clowney. Vernon accepted take a pay cut, now $10.75 countless his 2020 pay is ensured, so theres no doubt hes going to make the lineup. That probably does not leave any space for Clowney.

After the Browns agreed to a renegotiated contract with Olivier Vernon, a league source informed PFT that Cleveland is not likely to continue pursuing Clowney, whom they had actually previously revealed interest in signing.
