While the Cleveland Browns have gotten some acceptable play in the past from their pairings to Pro Bowl edge rusher Myles Garrett, they believe that Jadeveon Clowney, whom they signed to a one-year contract a year ago, made for the best pass-rushing duo that the team has had for some time.
With that said, they were evidently not prepared to break the bank—having already done so to upgrade the quarterback position—to bring him back. After sitting in free agency for a couple of months, the two sides finally reached an agreement on a deal yesterday, another one-year contract that, with incentives, could amount to $11 million, including $750,000 in incentives related to sack numbers.
