Bills Named A Free Agent Destination For Former No. 1 Pick Jadeveon Clowney

Could former first overall pick Jadeveon Clowney sign with the Buffalo Bills this offseason?

The Buffalo Bills likely won't be too active in free agency as they deal with a brutal cap situation, but they could still make a few smaller moves as they look to keep their contending window open.

Many outlets have shared their free agency suggestions, and many more will do so before the new league year begins in early March. For the Bills in particular, Pro Football Focus naming 2014 No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney as a potential target stands out.

"Clowney could be something of a Leonard Floyd replacement coming off one of the best seasons of his career, as a long, freakishly athletic edge who defends the run very well," PFF wrote.

Clowney has been somewhat disappointing by the standards of a No. 1 overall pick, but he's still a quality player in his own right. The 31-year-old proved he can still play at a high level this season with the Baltimore Ravens, as he finished with 9.5 sacks to match a career-high and posted an overall PFF grade of 85.7.

Through 10 seasons in the league, the former South Carolina star has racked up 363 total tackles, 99 tackles for loss and 52.5 sacks. He has also earned three Pro Bowl selections as well as a second-team All-Pro nod in 2016 with the Houston Texans.

With Floyd likely leaving in free agency and Von Miller on a steep decline, the Bills could certainly use some help on the edge. Clowney wouldn't exactly be cheap, as Spotrac projects him to earn about $7.2 million on a one-year deal, but he could be one of the better-value free agents available this offseason.
