3. Clowney Watch Continues
No one is talking from either side so it is hard to know if there are ongoing negotiations to get defensive end, Jadeveon Clowney, back in Cleveland for a second season.
A week ago, there was talk about an offer on the table, but the silence since that time is deafening.
The #Browns are "pushing" to re-sign Jadeveon Clowney, according to ESPN's Jeremy Fowler. Cleveland had an offer on the table at one point, somewhere in the area of $12M per season for two years (reportedly). Currently unknown whether the Browns have changed their offer.

Browns fans are growing impatient.
I wish the @browns would just lock down Clowney so I can rest some sleep at night 🥲🤣🤣 #Browns #nfl #football #fyp

Some are taking drastic measures.
Stephen’s grandma has been locked up for days while he awaits news about Clowney, Jarvis Landry and/or Brandin Cooks.
I’m not letting my grandma out until you re-sign Jarvis Landry, Jadeveon Clowney and/or trade for Brandin Cooks @browns pic.twitter.com/dpABzmI0bn

It is unclear what the holdup could be.
Hopefully, there is news on this front very soon.
Happy Sunday Browns Fans!
Make it a good one.
