The 2020 NFL offseason has clearly not unfolded the way Jadeveon Clowney would have wished. Entering free agency, Clowney looked like one of the marquee names available and was shooting for the next market-resetting contract at his position.
That market for his services never materialized, though, and teams have been unable to get him to agree to significantly more modest deals. Players betting on themselves when it comes to contract negotiations happens all the time, and Clowney’s most likely resolution is to accept a one-year contract somewhere he believes he can thrive before testing the offseason waters again in 2021.
