Report: Jadeveon Clowney, Browns Agree to 1 Year, $11M Contract; Had 9 Sacks in 2021

According to Mary Kay Cabot of cleveland.com, Jadeveon Clowney has re-signed with the Cleveland Browns.

Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the agreement is a one year, $11 million contract, but he added it could be more complicated than that.

On the April 3 episode of SportsCenter, Jeremy Fowler said that the Browns were pushing for a reunion with Clowney. His agent told the Akron Beacon Journal that Clowney and the Browns had a "mutual interest" in each other.

He was drafted by the Houston Texans in the first round in 2014, but was traded to the Seattle Seahawks prior to the season. He joined the Tennessee Titans for the 2020 campaign after one year in Seattle. He signed a one-year deal with the Browns.

Clowney had 37 tackles and nine sacks in 14 games in his first season in Cleveland. He was limited to eight games in 2020 because of a knee injury.

One of the most respected edge-rushers in the NFL when healthy is the three-time Pro Bowl selection. He has never had a season with 10 or more sacks in his career, but he commands attention from opposing offensive lines to open up opportunities for his teammates. Cleveland had 43 sacks last season.

Consistency will be provided by Clowney's return to Cleveland. The South Carolina product, who recorded a career-high 16 sacks last season, remains a part of one of the best pass-rushing tandems in the league.
