The NFL's regular season is over, which for most teams, means it's time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.



NFL free agency is a huge part of the process, and along with the NFL Draft, it has everyone preparing for what should be a very active couple of months.

We've officially come up with our own contract projections for the NFL's top free agents that include context behind each player's 2023 season, the likelihood of a franchise tag, the projection itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that's “all-in” and is needing to reduce that first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.

So, without further ado, let's check out the projection for Baltimore Ravens pass rusher, Jadeveon Clowney.

Jadeveon Clowney 2024 Contract Projection

Clowney has been a mercenary for hire for half-a-decade now. As a high-floor player who has been a strong run defender, Clowney has been a last-minute option for contenders looking to shore up their edge room. Those mercenary ways typically netted him one-year deals in the range of $8-10 million. But in 2023 Clowney had to take a small two-and-a-half million dollar pact with the Ravens.

Clowney has found a version of the fountain of youth under defensive coordinator Mike MacDonald in Baltimore, setting a career high in pressures with 69 and logging his highest sack total (8.5) since his last year in Houston in 2018.

This resurgence should help Clowney cash in yet again on another one year pact while getting him back to an eight figure payday.

• Franchise Tag Likelihood: Low
• 1 yr $10.5M, $10.5M APY, $10.5M fully GTD
• Year One Cap Hit: $3.1 million
