The slow march to the NFL draft is almost over. In about a week, the Cleveland Browns will be making their first selection of the draft. The 44th pick in the second round is a lot lower than usual but that was the price to acquire QB Deshaun Watson.
With only a few days left, Jadeveon Clowney could be the key to the Browns plans. We noted earlier this week how he could flip what the team does if he re-signs especially if it is a multi-year deal.
Pairing up with Myles Garrett, Clowney had a great year in Cleveland but made it clear that money would decide where he goes in free agency. With a lot of money spent around the league, Clowney’s market for a big deal may be limited to the Browns or a losing team.
Garrett and Clowney fueled speculation of a reunion via Instagram. Garrett shared two pictures on his IG story, one of which Clowney then shared on his:
“Unfinished business” sends a clear message of what the long-time Cleveland defensive end would like to see. Clowney sharing the post that Garrett tagged him in seems to send a similar message.
Around the league, Clowney’s return to the Browns has been expected since shortly after Watson was acquired. It seems like only a matter of time before that becomes official.
