With the market for defensive end Jadeveon Clowney remaining relatively cold, a new team has stepped up to gauge the pass-rusher's interest.
According to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, the Cleveland Browns have been in talks with Clowney's camp. While no deal is imminent, the news signals the Seattle Seahawks may not be the front-runner to re-sign the former No. 1 overall pick.
Clowney had seemingly been reluctant to budge from a demand of $20 million per season, but ESPN Seattle'sJohn Clayton reported Thursday that he'd accept a deal closer to $17 million per year.
