The Houston Texans and edge-rusher Jadeveon Clowney are far apart on a long-term contract agreement, per Aaron Wilsonof theHouston Chronicle.
The Texans placed the franchise tag on Clowney, who amassed 21 quarterback hits and nine sacks last season. Per Wilson, the five-year veteran has not signed his tender.
Clowney will not take part in the team's offseason conditioning program, either. Per Wilson, the ex-South Carolina Gamecock's absence "isn't an unexpected development and is regarded as standard procedure" for players who don't sign their tenders.
