It is important to stress that I have no information on this source's track record when it comes to the 49ers-related rumors, and no one else seems to be reporting this information outside of referencing this specific source.
Take it for what it is worth. Maybe nothing. Maybe something.
With that said, here is the tweet that has been creating a little bit of buzz over the last few hours.
The tweet notes that nothing is imminent. If the report is accurate, it could be the 49ers merely reaching out to see what it might take to add the three-time Pro Bowl selection to an already strong defensive front that includes pass rushers Nick Bosa, Dee Ford, and Arik Armstead.
The Houston Texans traded Clowney to the Seattle Seahawks before the start of last season in exchange for a third-round draft pick and two players. He was not re-signed and became a free agent in March.
Clowney has recorded 236 tackles, 32 sacks, 14 passes defensed, an interception, a touchdown, and nine forced fumbles through his six NFL seasons.
Again, there may be nothing here, but with discussion ramping up a bit surrounding the topic, it became worth presenting while disclosing that there may be nothing to this story.
