Cowboys Eye Veteran Edge Rusher: Jadeveon Clowney Visit Today!
The Dallas Cowboys are reportedly hosting three-time Pro Bowler Jadeveon Clowney for a visit, potentially adding depth to their defensive line. Josina Anderson reports that Clowney, a former No. 1 overall pick, is in Dallas to meet with the team. This move comes after the Cowboys traded Micah Parsons, leaving a gap in their pass rush. While the current defensive line performed adequately in Week 1, adding a veteran like Clowney could provide valuable experience and rotational support.
Clowney, 32, spent last season with the Carolina Panthers, recording 5.5 sacks and 46 tackles in 14 games. He has also played for the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Seattle Seahawks, and Houston Texans. Clowney's versatility in stopping the run and rushing the passer makes him an attractive option for the Cowboys.
Despite no longer being a guaranteed starter, Clowney can still contribute in obvious passing situations. He was surprisingly released by the Panthers after one season of a two-year contract, making him a free agent. He's consistently been a player who signs later in the offseason, and this year is no different. The Cowboys will be looking to see if he can still bring the heat.
The Cowboys' interest in Clowney suggests they are actively seeking to bolster their defense despite their performance in the first game. Stay tuned for updates on Clowney's visit and whether he will sign with the team.
