GM 'hopeful' Browns can reunite with DE Clowney
Browns general manager Andrew Berry said he is "hopeful" the team will sign Jadeveon Clowney after the veteran defensive end visited the facility Wednesday.
The Cleveland Browns are looking to bolster their defensive line, and bringing back Jadeveon Clowney could be a huge boost. Clowney, a former first-round pick, has had a productive career, including a 2019 season with the Browns where he recorded 8 sacks. His visit to the facility on Wednesday sparked speculation that a reunion could be in the works.
Reuniting with Clowney would make sense for the Browns, who are looking to improve their pass rush. The team has been aggressive in free agency and the draft, and adding Clowney would give them another talented piece to build around. It's worth noting that Clowney has also drawn interest from other teams, so the Browns will need to move quickly if they want to make it happen.
What's next to watch is whether the Browns can come to an agreement with Clowney on a contract. The team has a history of being aggressive in free agency, but they also have to be mindful of their salary cap situation. If Clowney does end up signing with the Browns, it will be interesting to see how he fits into their defensive scheme and how he performs alongside other key players like Myles Garrett.
