If the Las Vegas Raiders have their way, defensive end Jadeveon Clowney will not be returning to the Seattle Seahawks in 2020.
104.3 The Fan’s Cecil Lammey reported on Monday that the Raiders have extended an offer to Clowney, joining the slew of organizations trying to tempt the pass-rusher to sign with them before the season starts.
As Lammey states, multiple other teams have made larger offers to Clowney, but he has yet to accept any of them. Currently, the Cleveland Browns stand at the top of the sweepstakes, having offered $3 million more than Seattle has offered.
Signing Clowney would give the Raiders a much-needed veteran presence at edge rusher to mentor young defensive ends Maxx Crosby and Clelin Ferrell, who combined for 14.5 sacks in 2019.
As it stands, the 2020 NFL season will not kick off for another two months, leaving Clowney plenty of time to wait for better options should he continue to test the waters.
