Jadeveon Clowney has gotten himself into trouble in the past few days, not only within the Cleveland Browns organization but with NFL media as a whole as well.
After last week’s game, Clowney made a few comments in a post-game interview that unfortunately came at the expense of one of his teammates.

Above is Clowney’s apology to his teammate, Myles Garrett.
In their locker room last week, Clowney made extensive comments about how the team was all about Garrett, and they put him to the wayside.
He also made comments regarding Garrett being a favorite on the team, and how the team would much rather see him put up MVP-caliber numbers instead of Clowney, putting Garrett in a much better opportunity to succeed.
Clowney and Garrett are both former number-one overall picks, with Clowney being picked by the Houston Texans, and Garrett by the Browns.
Although both of these players are dominant defensive forces, it’s tricky to navigate two big personalities, especially in a locker room.
Clowney has been said to have played his last snap as a member of the Browns organization, and will likely test free agency in the offseason.
Although he was a great addition to the Browns’ defense, Clowney and Garrett might not get along in the same locker room much longer, and it might be best for a struggling organization like the Browns to cut their losses.
The Browns finished dead last in their division this year and will look to grow immensely with a new-look team in 2023.
