Jadeveon Clowney appears to be on his way out of Cleveland, and it seems to be because of fellow defensive end Myles Garrett.<\/p>\n

Clowney told Cleveland.com on Thursday that he was \u201c95% sure\u201d that he wouldn’t sign with the Browns again this offseason due largely to how the franchise is comparing him to Garrett. Clowney was even sent home before practice on Friday, and it’s unclear if the Browns will play him on Sunday in their regular-season finale against the Pittsburgh Steelers.<\/p>\n

\u201cI just feel like I need to be around somebody that believes in me and my ability,\u201d Clowney said, via Cleveland.com. \u201c[It can\u2019t] be just me believing in myself. I believe in myself more than anybody \u2026 You’re all trying to get [Garrett] into the Hall of Fame when all that matters is winning. Everybody got here for a reason, and we can all make plays. I know I am.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Clowney has 28 total tackles and two sacks this season in Cleveland, his second with the franchise. He had nine sacks last year. Garrett, on the other hand, has 15 sacks this season \u2014 which is just 2.5 behind Nick Bosa’s league-best 17.5.<\/p>\n

While Clowney insisted that he doesn’t have any personal issues with Garrett, this issue has apparently been brewing for a while. Before the Browns fell to the Ravens in October, Clowney learned that he’d be swapping sides with Garrett. That didn’t sit well with him, and prompted him to refuse to play on first or second down.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe practiced all week, and we get in the game and they want to move me,\u201d Clowney said, via Cleveland.com. \u201cI’m not doing that. I’m old. I’ve done my job \u2026 I don’t have time for that. I’ve made my money. I’m doing this because I love the game, but keep [doing things like that] and making me not love the game.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

Garrett didn’t even realize that Clowney was sitting out on purpose until a week later. Garrett said he “assumed” Clowney was hurt.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don’t even think [Garrett] notices,\u201d Clowney said of the position switches, via Cleveland.com. \u201cI ain’t trying to say it’s him. I try to get along with everybody I play with. Me and him don’t have a problem. It ai n’t his fault.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n
