They have the cap space to pay Clowney
General manager Howie Roseman has about $44 million in cap space to work with this offseason. That’s more than enough to get a long-tern deal done with Clowney.
Spotrac projects Clowney to make about $20 million per year with his new contract, placing him as the third highest paid edge rusher in football. It’s a high price, but if Clowney plays up to his potential, the contract will be well worth it.
