The Dallas Cowboys needed to bring in another pass rusher after trading All-Pro outside linebacker Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers in late August. Enter Jadeveon Clowney , who signed a one-year deal during Week 2 of the regular season.
The 32-year-old Clowney has been a solid contributor for a Cowboys defense which has largely struggled. Set to be an unrestricted free agent this March, Clowney has the opportunity to return to Dallas or opt to play elsewhere in 2026. The Cowboys “absolutely” want Clowney back, team executive vice president Stephen Jones said.
“Absolutely. I mean, he’s played at a very high level, he’s been one of our best pressure players, and obviously has a great pedigree being the first pick in the draft, albeit a few years ago,” Jones said Monday on 105.3 The Fan. “We’d love to have Jadeveon back. We’ll be talking with his guys right away. Would love to get him in the mix because he is a leader.”
Jones added, “We’d love to have in the mix from the get-go, which would be outstanding. Hopefully, with his willingness to want to be here and us wanting him to be here, hopefully we can figure something out.”
Jadeveon Clowney still productive after more than a decade in NFL
Clowney, the 2014 No. 1 overall pick, has played in 12 games this season. He has compiled 35 total tackles, eight tackles for loss, 5.5 sacks and three PBUs. Clowney is tied for the team league in sacks and is first in tackles for loss.
