Houston Texans pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney is reportedly prepared to sit out into the regular season as he looks to sort out his future with the team.
Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reported Clowney has told "several people" he's willing to sit out games—forfeiting around $1 million per week—to ensure he winds up in the right situation this season. Garafolo categorized the Pro Bowler as "hurt" that the Texans have entertained trading him.
Clowney will play under the franchise tag in 2019, regardless of where he spends the season. However, he's hesitant to sign the tag because that would give Houston the right to trade him to any NFL franchise.
