Day 6 of the NFL free agent signing period broke on Saturday with seemingly promising news for the Seahawks — a report from Pro Football Talk that the team was “moving toward a new deal” with defensive end Jadeveon Clowney.
But almost before the ink on that report dried came another from PFT, positing that maybe the “chatter on the NFL grapevine” had been spurred by Clowney’s camp to try to drum up more interest in him around the league.
That could mean there may be some urgency coming from Seattle’s side to get something done, and Clowney — knowing that at some point the team will be forced to move on — may be making one last attempt to see if there’s interest elsewhere.
