Were less than two weeks from the start of the 2020 NFL season and Jadeveon Clowney is still on the free agent market.

The three-time Pro Bowl defensive end remains unsigned as training camps around the league conclude and teams ramp up for NFL action. Clowney has received interest from multiple teams, but the 27-year-old remains unsigned largely because of his asking price.

The elite pass rusher initially entered free agency with a $20 million per year asking price but has reportedlyloweredhis price tag to somewhere in the $17-18 million range awaiting an ideal suitor.

If you ask Yahoo! Sports NFL insider Charles Robinson, the Seattle Seahawks or Tennessee Titans could still make a deal with Clowney. That is, at the right price.

I think its Tennessee and Seattle, and I think its all on Clowney deciding what the number is that hes willing to play for, Robinson said Tuesday on the Pat McAfee show. If its sub-$15 (million), this, I think, can get done. Maybe its 12 or 13 with incentives that could push it, but the market, its not great.

Clowney, who turned 27 on Feb. 14, made $15 million in 2019when he was traded by the Houston Texans to the Seahawks. The Texans paid $7millionofClowney'scontract for this season, while the Seahawks picked up the remaining $8millionof the deal.

In 11 starts through 13 games in Seattle, Clowney compiled 21 tackles (seven for loss), three sacks (13 quarterback hits), four forced fumbles (two recoveries) and one interception for a touchdown (three pass breakups).

Robinson noted how Yannick Ngakoues trade from the Jacksonville Jaguars to the Minnesota Vikings may have had a domino effect on Clowneys value on the market. Ngakoue signed a one-year, $12 million deal, making it unlikely Clowney could obtain the type of money hes looking for in a future NFL team.

Hes also turned down several lucrative offers from the Cleveland Browns, per Robinson. The Browns presented Clowney with deals between one and three years, all within the $17 to $18 million per year range, but the star pass rusher was not interested.

When asked if Clowney could pull a Le'Veon Bell and sit out the entire season if his contract demands aren't met,ESPN's John Clayton said it's entirely possible.

As of today, hes taking the same position, Its either $15 million or Im not playing,' Clayton said. And unless he changes that then hes not playing because no one is going to pay him $15 million, particularly now that you saw (Browns defensive end) Olivier Vernon took a (paycut to $11 million) and you saw that (Ngakoue is making $12 million). I think right now its up to him.

But Clayton does think Clowney would be open to reducing his asking price for the right team, a la Seahawks.

If he goes down to $12 or $11 million, he could be here (in Seattle), he said. I could see that happening.

While theres no new indications that a Clowney signing is imminent, the clock is ticking and Clowney will soon have to decide whether hes going to play this year or sit out the entire 2020 season.
