Browns appear done with Clowney
Jadeveon Clowney’s last move with the Browns happened off the field — a public bashing born of frustration and disappointment. The team countered accordingly. Clowney was sent home from practice on Friday, one day after he harshly criticized the organization and coaching staff in an explosive interview that effectively ended his second season in Cleveland just ahead of the finale in Pittsburgh. Coach Kevin Stefanski refused to directly address Clowney’s status — or provide any specifics about his decision to punish the defensive end — as the Browns prepared to face the Steelers on Sunday. However, Stefanski did indicate Clowney won’t be on the trip. “Nothing comes above the team,” he said. Angry that he wasn’t being showcased more in the Browns’ defense, Clowney said in an interview Thursday with cleveland.com that he didn’t feel appreciated and was “95% sure” he wasn’t coming back for a third season. Clowney further claimed the Browns have given four-time Pro Bowl defensive end Myles Garrett preferential treatment and were focused on getting him to the Hall of Fame.
