Jadeveon Clowney Wants To Play For The New York Giants

“According to an NFL source, the Giants are one of the teams on the 27-year-old edge-rusher’s wish list as he heads to free agency. But according to another source, he could be looking at a contract worth $22-23 million per year, which will likely be out of the Giants’ range.”

On the other hand, the New York Giants are actively looking for help on defense. Their needs include edge-rushers, inside linebackers, and corners. The truth is, they need all the help they can get.

That said, ESPN’s Jordan Raanan believes the Giants will end up passing on Clowney not only because of the money but his prior injuries.

“Edge rusher might not work out. Giants general manager Dave Gettleman expects all of the top pass-rushers to be tagged, with the exception of Jadeveon Clowney ‘because of the injuries.’ In reality, Clowney and the Seattle Seahawks struck a deal that has prevented him from being tagged. Still, the Giants are traditionally conservative when it comes to medical concerns. It is hard to imagine they’re seriously going to swim in those Clowney waters, given Gettleman’s comment.”
