The unresolved status of Pro Bowl outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney remains in a holding pattern.
The Texans have continued trade discussions with the Miami Dolphins, whose coach, Brian Flores, met with the former top overall pick recently.
Clowney is extremely reluctant to play for a team that he doesn't consider a playoff contender, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly, after playing for an 11-5 squad last season that won the AFC South division title.
Clowney is steadfast that he won't sign his $15.967 million tender unless he is going to a preferred destination like the Seattle Seahawks and Philadelphia Eagles, according to league sources not authorized to speak publicly.
