Jadeveon Clowney Open To Return To Seahawks

May 6, 2020 8:57 AM

Jadeveon Clowney says he's healthy and ready to contribute wherever he ends up as a free agent.

"I don't know if people think I'm hurting because of what I went through because of the core [injury] or because [of injuries] in previous years," Clowney told Fox 26 in Houston. "But I just want to let people know I'm ready, and I'm gonna be ready to go whenever the time comes."

The defensive end played for the Seattle Seahawks last season.

"I've got a few [offers], but the process for me is really just weighing my options and taking my time," Clowney said. "I ain't in no rush right now. I know with what's going on right now in the world, with the coronavirus and everything, it's a slow process until teams really can see me and see what I got and give me physicals and everything.

"So I ain't in no rush. I'm just waiting on the right opportunity and the right timing for me."

Early in the offseason the door appeared closed to a return to Seattle, but that's changed as the offseason has progressed.

"I love Seattle," Clowney said. "I love everybody on the coaching staff. I wouldn't trade those guys in. I hope we can work something out."

Marshawn Lynch In Talks To Return To Seahawks

May 5, 2020 8:57 AM

Marshawn Lynch says his agent has been in contact with the Seattle Seahawks about a potential return to the team.

"Well, it's almost on that 'expect the unexpected,'" Lynch told Scott Van Pelt. "But just as far as right now, what I do know is, Imma keep it solid. My agent [Doug Hendrickson] has been in talks with Seattle, so like I said, we'll see what happens. If it works out and I get back up there, it is what it is. And if not, s---, I'm lookin' good. So I ain't really trippin' too much."

Lynch, who turned 34 in April, unretired for the second time before Week 17 of last season to rejoin the Seahawks after injuries decimated their backfield.
