Good news. It’s coming together
Piggy backing off this, who's to say it wasn't say a 2 yr $28m deal with $14m guaranteed?Respectfully to Ian Rapoport, there's no way this is true as it's being reported.
Clowney MAYBE had an offer of 2/28 from another team right when free agency opened and he turned it down trying to get more and then the money dried up.
There absolutely was not any $14-15M per year offers out there for him currently.

A deal like that isn't all that different than 1 yr $11m fully guaranteed. Assuming this new contract is fully guaranteed.
Essentially sacrificing $3m to play for a contender with an opportunity to still cash in big next year with another strong season.
Exactly. I don’t believe it at all unless that included some crazy incentives that got the deal up to 14M. Most likely the agent threw that out there to pump up the deal.I have my suspicions if a team was actually offering $14M guaranteed, Clowney would be playing elsewhere.
He has always been upfront about being a mercenary.
I also suspect when the final numbers come out that we'll find out Clowney can earn up to $11M and he probably only has like $8M fully guaranteed.
I believe this to be huge for Alex Wright.
Not only can he sit back and learn behind Clowney and Myles, but he'll have a direct comparison in how to win at the NFL level in Clowney.
