Tennessee Titans & Seattle Seahawks shouldn’t be worried about Cleveland Browns competition for Jadeveon Clowney

Price is right?

As far as cap space goes, the Cleveland Browns have plenty of room to make this move and can even afford to overpay Jadeveon Clowney in 2020 if they want to make a really enticing offer to the former 1st overall pick.

So what would a deal need to look like?

Since Clowney hasn’t already signed with the Browns or at least agreed in principal with Cleveland, then it is safe to assume that the two aren’t seeing eye to eye on something.

While the best guess is that the Browns also want to get a good handle on his long term health, that isn’t the only possibility. You may remember that earlier in this offseason he said that he wanted to go to a contender, presumably after being forced to play for Bill O’Brien in Houston where he squandered some great talent.

Cleveland isn’t exactly home of the championships and I don’t mean this to sound as harsh as it probably does, but how much work needs to be done to this Browns team before they are ready to compete?

Baker Mayfield didn’t take a step forward in year two despite giving him every skill position to succeed.

Even with the addition of Jack Conklin this offseason, the Browns really need to try to upgrade at least three of the other four offensive line spots before being a competent unit. That is going to take time, money and draft picks.

Are the Browns in a position to give another big contract on defense with so many other additions necessary before a signing like Clowney’s would matter?
