A report from Denver Broncos insider Cecil Lammey claims that the Las Vegas Raiders are interested in bringing in free agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney. To be more specific, Jon Gruden is interested in Clowney but GM Mike Mayock and owner Mark Davis are fine with standing pat on the defense.
The rumors swirling around Clowney suggest that he is looking for $17-18 million per year which is more than the Raiders may be willing to spend but given the strange nature of this offseason he may be willing to accept less.
Gruden infamously traded away an elite pass rusher in Khalil Mack because of his contract demands so giving Clowney a long-term big money deal would certainly raise a few eyebrows among Raider Nation.
