The Houston Texans have franchised LB Jadeveon Clowney.
“Today, we have placed the franchise tag on Jadeveon Clowney, but our goal is to continue to work with his representation on a long-term contract. This gives us both an opportunity to continue to do so,” - Texans General Manager Brian Gaine
Clowney's 2019 salary under the franchise tag will be worth $15.967 million, per NFL Network's Tom Pelissero.
