As Jadeveon Clowney zeroes in on his next gig, he’s let go of his agent. According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, the defensive end has fired agent Bus Cook.
Does this sound familiar? Last year during Labor Day Weekend, Clowney fired Cook as his agent. The two ended up reconciling, and the franchise-tagged pass rusher was later traded from the Texans to the Seahawks. It sounds like there won’t be another reunion, however, as Clowney is expected to “eventually hire” Kennard McGuire for representation.
Meanwhile, as Clowney continues his free agency tour, Florio reports that the Saints brass visited the player in Houston. An image on Instagram showed Clowney posing with head coach Sean Payton, and the message indicated that two other Saints coaches attended the meeting. For what it’s worth, Clowney subsequently “liked” that post, which was posted by a chef at a restaurant.
We learned yesterday that Clowney could end up waiting until next week to sign a contract. By waiting for the roster deadline to pass, the veteran could find that suitors are operating with more financial flexibility. The Saints and Titans currently have offers out to Clowney, setting the stage for a high-priced bidding war. The Ravens have also been mentioned as a potential suitor.
Just waiting for the inevitable here… the Lions have let a whole list of good front 7 players go by them, but they will make the “smartest man in the room” move by signing Clowney to a multi-year deal to become the next Ziggy (all the potential in the world, but never on the field).
He has stated he wants to play for a contender, so…
They all say that until the $$$ proves otherwise, so…
A high priced bidding war?? Lol. The saints have no money. He is going back to Seattle.
This clowns agent must work for PFR, floating nothing but garbage the past few months and trying to stir-up interest.
Someone should do a case study detailing how frequently Clowney’s name has been mentioned in PFR articles over the past six months
