Jerry Jones: Cowboys sign 3-time Pro Bowl DE Jadeveon Clowney

Three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Jadeveon Clowney has signed with the Dallas Cowboys, team owner Jerry Jones said after a 40-37 overtime victory over the New York Giants on Sunday.

Clowney, a 32-year-old free agent who visited with the Cowboys last week, played for the Carolina Panthers last season before being released in May. His 11-year NFL career started with the Houston Texans, who made him the No. 1 overall draft pick in 2014 and employed him for five seasons, the last three as a Pro Bowl selection.

Clowney then played one season for Seattle, one for Tennessee, two years for Cleveland, one season for Baltimore and one for Carolina, the team he left after the first year of a two-year, $20 million deal he signed in 2024.

"He's been an outstanding player; he'll add some real depth," Jones told reporters about Clowney after Sunday's game. "He's very credible. He'll help us."

The Cowboys had yet to make the move official on Sunday.

Clowney had 46 tackles and 5.5 sacks last season for the Panthers last season after getting 43 tackles and 9.5 sacks the previous year with the Ravens.

In his career, he has recorded 409 tackles, 58 sacks and 15 forced fumbles over 140 games (127 starts).
