Cowboys Host veteran pass Rusher for Potential Contract
FRISCO, TX – November 2, 2023 – The Dallas Cowboys are hosting three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jadeveon Clowney for a visit, according to multiple reports, as the team explores options to strengthen its pass rush. Clowney, a free agent, arrives as Dallas seeks to add depth and proven talent following a Week 1 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles and amid concerns about consistent pressure on opposing quarterbacks.
The Cowboys’ pursuit of Clowney signals a proactive approach to addressing a critical need. While Micah Parsons remains a dominant force, the team has sought additional contributors to consistently disrupt offenses. sam Williams, a second-year player, is developing but has faced questions about consistency, and the Cowboys are evaluating all avenues to improve their defensive line’s overall impact. A potential signing would provide defensive coordinator Dan quinn with another versatile weapon capable of generating pressure from multiple positions.
Clowney, 30, has recorded 97.5 career sacks across 10 NFL seasons with the Houston Texans, Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, and Cleveland Browns. He earned Pro Bowl selections in 2016,2017,and 2018. Last season with the Browns, he registered 9 sacks, 33 total tackles, and two forced fumbles.
The visit will allow the Cowboys to assess clowney’s current physical condition and determine if his skillset aligns with their defensive scheme.If the meeting is successful, negotiations could quickly follow, potentially adding a seasoned veteran to a cowboys defense aiming for a Super Bowl run.
