After win, Dallas Cowboys signing defender to help with pass rush
The Cowboys are signing veteran edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney, owner and general manager Jerry Jones told reporters following his team’s 40-37 thrilling overtime victory over the New York Giants on Sunday.
Clowney, 32, was released by the Carolina Panthers in May, one season before his two-year deal with the team expired. He visited the Cowboys last week, ESPN reported. As a team, Dallas has four sacks through two games (three against New York).
Dallas traded Micah Parsons, perhaps the league’s best player at getting after the quarterback, one week before the season started amid a lingering contract dispute.
Clowney has 58 career sacks and was drafted first overall in 2014 by the Houston Texans. He’s spent the past six seasons with five teams, the most productive being his 9.5-sack campaign with the Baltimore Ravens in 2023.
