The Seahawks need edge rushers, many of them. It would be nice if working out a contract extension with Jadeveon Clowney was easy. But this is the NFL and there is lots of money to be had and money complicates everything. According to Bleacher Reports Matt Miller, Clowney wants a “market-setting contract.” If this is true, Seattle needs to say goodbye to Jadeveon Clowney.
The Seahawks traded for Clowney last offseason and during the negotiations to get his services, Seattle agreed not to franchise tag Clowney. In 2019, Jadeveon Clowney was far and away the best defensive lineman that the Seahawks had.
