Saw this from who I believe is a Dolphins beat writer on Twitter.
Apparently late last week, Clowney turn down a multi-year contract with approximately $17.5 million annually.
Total years and guaranteed money was unknown.
Again, just a rumor. Unconfirmed.
$17.5 annually and no state income tax in Florida? We would have to pony up big time and that’s not going to happen
There has to just be a small number of teams left that can make a multi-year splash at that size contract.
Matt,
With the recent signings of Lewis and Coleman you would have to think the waiting for Clowney is done. If we sign an ER I would guess it would be Golden for another year. The only team I heard was interested in Golden was Atlanta and they signed Fowler.
Did you have anyone in mind?

Washington does not have a state income tax either, as do New Hampshire, Texas and Tennessee(Florida).
One thing we know, there is still plenty of money on the sidelines, and not many exciting players out there.
I bet he ends up doing just fine.

I think he's going back to Seattle. However, you can always find money if they need to, especially on a 1 year deal. However, I agree with you that when it's all said and done, Golden will come back to the Giants.

They still have 16M available, they can rescind the tag until LW signs it
I’d reject it too.
I'd heard the same.
not really... maybe out the window.

IIRC Bus Cook is his agent. He’s been around forever. He knows no one is giving him a multi year deal for anything close to 21 million a year. He’s got into to get another one year deal. You won’t a multi year rap to get money up front and take a little less. He will somehow have to survive on less. Get the feeling he’s going to one of those guys who’s broke 5-10 years after football

Recently or was this earlier in the process?

Jon,
Can you say if the Giants have a plan beyond Clowney

Last week. I mentioned in a thread, you'd have to search for it if you want the exact date.

Not heard anything specific. Reading the tea leaves tho, there's not much left besides Golden and the draft.
