Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle reported that Houston Texans Pro Bowl outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney is expected to miss the Texans offseason voluntary program as he continues his quest to seek out a long term contract after hitting free agency as an unrestricted free agent.
Texans general manager Brian Gaine decided the best course of action to avoid losing Clowney was to place the franchise tag, but Clowney has very little incentive to sign the franchise tag offer with millions of dollar on the table.
Clowney is expected to earn a sizeable amount of money in his next contract after playing out the fifth-year option of his rookie scale contract as the first overall draft pick in the 2014 NFL Draft.
