The New York Jets-Jadeveon Clowney era is probably over before it ever began.
According to a report from ESPN’s Rich Cimini, the Jets’ late offseason windfall won’t be used to lure the three-time Pro Bowl defensive lineman to a green uniform. Cimini instead theorizes that the Jets plan to use the money elsewhere, listing possibilities like upgrades to the receiving and secondary corps. He even lists more drastic options like stashing the money for future endeavors or a long-term extension for Jamal Adams.
The Jets were recently granted an extra $11 million in 2020 cap space by designating the release of cornerback Trumaine Johnson as a post-June 1 transaction.
