Jadeveon Clowney waited until April 15 to sign with the Cleveland Browns in 2021 and he made a huge impact on the defense. While the free-agent edge defender remains unsigned, it seems history could repeat itself in 2022.
Clowney, age 29, has a history of taking a slower approach to free agency. Recovering from an injury two years ago, he didn’t sign with the Tennessee Titans until September 2020. While he likely won’t be waiting around that long this time around, he has left many fans wondering if he would return to Cleveland.
This is a player the organization badly wants to add back to the fold. They pursued him in 2020 and finally brought him in for the 2021 season. He made exactly the impact the coaching staff hoped for, proving to be a great complement opposite of Myles Garrett.
With quarterback Deshaun Watson now on the team and potentially avoiding a suspension in 2022, Cleveland is taking an all-in approach this season that NFL insiders believe will result in a reunion with the 6-foot-5 defensive end.
ESPN’s Tony Grossi shared that he expects Clowney to re-sign with the Browns this offseason. Notably, he doesn’t believe Jarvis Landry returns to Cleveland.
The organization currently has $19 million in cap space and will have even more savings whenever a Baker Mayfield trade happens. With money not an issue, it only seems like a matter of time until Clowney is back on the roster.
