The Saints were giving a very strong push to the end, but in usual Saints fashion, they had a set price they refused to budge on (1 yr, $10 million). Not surprisingly, Clowney wanted the bigger offer.

Well, the Saints seem well above the cap so paying an extra 50% for Clowney wasn't likely doable because of that.
Read another article where a few teams offered him $15MM but he didn't want to go to those teams.
Of the handful of teams he did want to go to, Seattle was willing to pay $10-12MM, Clowney clearly wanted that $15M and nothing less.
