Have well known insiders been speculating like this all along abut Clowney? Haven't been paying attention with it for a while.
Still can't imagine they go into the season with Green/Collier as Clowney's replacement, with a 29 year old career backup on the other side, and some rookies. All that unproven talent.
Everson Griffen would've been the Clowney replacement at 5 tech and has the same cap hit as Finney and Ogbuehi. That would be interesting if they do indeed lose Clowney.
Another one of the Bengals' AFC North rivals is considered the favorite to sign Clowney according to Tony Pauline of Pro Football Network.
“A lot of people in the league believe that in end, he’s going to end up with the Baltimore Ravens,” Pauline said on the NFL Draft Insiders podcast. “The Ravens need an upgrade with their pass rush. The belief from league insiders is don’t be surprised if he ends up with the Baltimore Ravens.
“Clowney, right now, the belief is he’s just going to sit out of training camp because he doesn’t like training camp. He had an issue with training camp when he was with Houston. He’s going to wait until the end of training camp unless someone blows him away with a huge contract.”
The Ravens have nearly $17 million in cap space after releasing safety Earl Thomas on Sunday.
