Former Seattle Seahawks defensive lineman Malik McDowell is not going to give into his former team’s demands on his signing bonus.

McDowell is being sued by the Seahawks, who want him to pay back roughly $800,000 in bonus money after an ATV injury prevented him from playing for the team. McDowell was never cleared by Seattle’s doctors, but he claimed Saturday that he’d been cleared by an independent neurologist and he was released for reasons unrelated to his injury.
