Jadeveon Clowney, Cleveland Browns progressing in contract talks
The Cleveland Browns are progressing in talks on a deal with free agent pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney, and there is optimism that an agreement could be completed soon, sources told ESPN's Dianna Russini.

The Browns also pursued Clowney last offseason, but the three-time Pro Bowler reportedly rejected Cleveland's multiyear contract offer and ultimately signed a one-year, $13 million deal with the Tennessee Titans.
Clowney, 28, struggled in 2020 with Tennessee, finishing with 19 tackles and zero sacks in eight games before suffering a season-ending knee injury in November. He had surgery in December and is expected to be at full health for the start of the 2021 season.
Clowney has 255 tackles (75 for a loss), 86 quarterback hits and 32 sacks in his seven seasons. Over his career, he has dealt with various knee injuries, in addition to groin, elbow, back and Lisfranc injuries.

Signing may be imminent. Clowney's numbers haven't been that great recently, but he would be joining a pass rush that features All-Pro Myles Garrett and the newly acquired LB Takkarist McKinley. When Garrett and/or McKinley are double-teamed, perhaps Clowney finds a hole.
With the signing of safety of John Johnson from the Rams (a HUGE need), this defense is looking pretty solid.
