With the 2020 NFL Scouting Combine in the books and the NFL draft two months away, teams around the league are turning their attention to the next big event on the NFL calendar – the start of free agency and the new league year – which kicks off on March 18.
The Seahawks, like all 31 other clubs around the country, have some tough decisions to make regarding players set to become unrestricted free agents. One such player is receiving his fair share of media attention and speculation.
Gregg Rosenthal and Chris Wesseling of NFL.com put together their list of the top 101 free agents of 2020 and Seattle defensive end Jadeveon Clowney landed at No. 3.
“Clowney’s production doesn’t always match the hype, but he can still hijack an offense at peak moments – often in the biggest games,” Rosenthal and Wesseling note. “Don’t let the three-sack total fool you: He was a difference-maker in his Seattle debut, as the pass rush tended to vanish for quarters at a time whenever he missed stretches due to nagging injuries.”
Only wide receiver Amari Cooper (No. 2) and quarterback Dak Prescott (No. 1) rank higher than Clowney in the top 101 free agents of 2020.
