The Seattle Seahawks are reportedly keen to tie down Jadeveon Clowney to a new contract but are still said to have work to do to secure an extension.

ESPN.com noted the Seahawks "can't tag him and don't seem to be interested in breaking the bank for a player who gets a lot of pressure (he was fifth in ESPN's pass rush win rate in 2019) but not nearly as many sacks (three last season) as some of the league's highest-paid edge defenders."

Seattle's reluctance to pay Frank Clark an annual salary of $21 million is also referenced, with the report noting that Clark is more "productive" than Clowney in some areas.
