Browns done with Jadeveon Clowney after critical comments

Associated Press  

BEREA, Ohio — Jadeveon Clowney’s last move with the Cleveland Browns happened off the field — a public bashing born of frustration and disappointment. Angry that he wasn’t being showcased more in Cleveland’s defense, Clowney said in an interview Thursday with cleveland.com that he didn’t feel appreciated and was “95% sure” he wasn’t coming back for a third season. But I wish he would’ve handled a little bit differently.” Garrett said his relationship with Clowney remains “cordial” and he didn’t take the comments to heart. Asked if he would welcome Clowney back at any point, Garrett said: “We want volunteers, not hostages.” “If you feel like no one believes in you here,” Garrett said, “then go where you feel like you’re wanted and loved and appreciated.” Clowney revived his career last season in Cleveland, recording nine sacks — his most since 2018 — and pairing with Garrett up front to give the Browns one of the NFL’s most feared pass rushes. The upheaval surrounding Clowney is similar to last season’s messy situation with wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr., who was suspended by the Browns and eventually traded after weeks of drama.
