Cowboys Sign Veteran Pass Rusher Jadeveon Clowney, Jerry Jones Says
Jadeveon Clowney, a three-time Pro Bowl defensive end with 58 career sacks, joins the Cowboys to strengthen their pass rush after trading Micah Parsons.
- The Dallas Cowboys announced they signed 32-year-old defensive end Jadeveon Clowney on Sunday after their overtime win over the Giants.
- Following the trade of Micah Parsons to Green Bay in August, which brought defensive tackle Kenny Clark and a pair of first-round selections to Dallas, the Cowboys sought to fill their need for an edge rusher.
- Clowney, a former first overall pick in 2014 by the Texans, recorded 9.5 sacks last season with Baltimore and had 58 career sacks over 11 years.
- Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer praised Clowney's disruptive ability against run and pass, and Jerry Jones said Clowney's signing adds experience the team lacked without Parsons.
- This signing uses part of Dallas' $37.5 million cap space and could strengthen their pass rush while providing veteran depth to the defense.
