It seems like Jadeveon Clowney won’t be headed to the Dolphins after all. The Texans outside linebacker is “adamant” that he doesn’t want to play for Miami, a source told Aaron Wilson of the Houston Chronicle (Twitter link). 
Just a few days ago, we heard that the Dolphins considered themselves the favorites to land the former first overall pick. The Jets, Redskins, Seahawks, and Eagles have all also held conversations with Houston about trading for Clowney. Since Clowney can’t be traded until he signs his franchise tender, he has the leverage to shoot down a potential trade. He’s apparently more interested in joining a playoff contender, as Seattle and Philadelphia are said to be his preferred destinations.
Clowney met with Dolphins head coach Brian Flores and other members of the organization in person, but he clearly wasn’t swayed by their pitch. In a follow-up tweet, John McClain of the Houston Chronicle writes that Clowney specifically hasn’t signed his tender because he doesn’t want to play for the Dolphins.
Miami has been the most active publicly in their pursuit, and there have been rumors of a potential swap involving left tackle Laremy Tunsil. It was reported yesterday that there would be a “revolt” in the locker room if the Dolphins traded Tunsil. It’s unclear how interested the other four teams are, or if they’ll be willing to meet Houston’s asking price. Clowney has let it be known he’s willing to miss regular season games, so it doesn’t seem like there’s an end in sight here.
Come on Howie, bring this man to Philly!
No thanks, too much for a guy that only turns it on when he’s in the mood.
You haven’t been watching Clowney if you are still using his “motor” as a diss. That was an bull crap draft weakness that hasn’t been an issue since he’s been in the league.
Yeah, not like the headline here would tell us anything about his character
With his talent and abilities he should’ve been dominating in this league since day 1. He has generational talent, but just never totally strung it together enough that teams are comfortable going all in on a guy that doesn’t go all in himself.
Nah bring him to philly our line would be best in nfl by far
The cops in South Florida love to target high profile NFL players like Clowney so giving Flores the thumb down shows that he isn’t a total fool.
Show some sources were cops “target” high profile players.
You want facts!
That’s fake news!
Live with the world
you have created!
Stay in the world you created, dipstick, and leave the rest of us alone!
this idea was doomed from the start. a lose-lose proposition if you like.
Dolphins fans should thank this guy, Clowney’s saving Miami from themselves.
Well, DUH!
At least Clowney has principles. Miami is one of the few teams that can sign him to the massive extension he is looking for. So he’s most likely leaving money on the table by not accepting a trade to the Dolphins.
Most likely scenario is the dolphins made him an offer that is correct for him and he wants $100M more. He’s really not that great, he’ll never admit it though.
HaHa! His “principles”? This guy’s principles begin and end with money.
Raiduhs !!!!!!! 4th round pick
