I hope Clowney and his agent aren't waiting until the DE market dries up. This would give them back the leverage.
I think it'd be the opposite, the longer they wait the more teams will drop out because they've moved onto other players and have had their draft addressing needs. It's why he's lowering his demands now, crickets.
Clowney's not waiting because he wants the DE pool to dry up, he's waiting for the virus travel restrictions to be lifted so he can go take physicals, which he thinks will increase his value once teams see he's relatively healthy and in good shape.
Neither seems like a good plan to me. By this point in free agency, the teams willing to spend big money have spent their big money. The teams left like the Hawks and others have hardline budgets and values they're going to stick to because they still have roster spots and needs to address in the next 3-4 months.
So I don't see how just being the last DE standing makes Clowney more valuable.
