Dallas Cowboys Sign Jadeveon Clowney Amidst Misdemeanour Charges; Veteran Joins Southwestern Squad
NFL veteran Jadeveon Clowney has inked a one-year pact with the Dallas Cowboys, bolstering the team's pass-rushing corps following Micah Parsons' trade to the Green Bay Packers.
Clowney, who turns 32 next month, was apprehended in Rock Hill, South Carolina, on September 12, 2023, on misdemeanour counts of trespassing and failure to identify. However, he has vowed to contest the charges, describing the incident as a 'big misunderstanding' and 'frustrating.' Further details about the arrest remain scarce.
The Cowboys, currently 1-1 ahead of Sunday's road tilt against the Chicago Bears, are banking on Clowney's addition to fortify their defensive line. Clowney cited the team's secondary and the acquisition of Kenny Clark as factors drawing him to the Cowboys.
Clowney's NFL journey commenced with the Houston Texans, where he spent the first five seasons of his career. He then had stints with the Seattle Seahawks, Tennessee Titans, Cleveland Browns, and Baltimore Ravens before joining the Carolina Panthers for the previous two campaigns. Last year, Clowney tallied 46 tackles, nine tackles for loss, and 5.5 sacks with the Panthers.
Before his NFL career, Clowney emerged as one of the nation's premier defensive players at South Carolina, earning SEC Defensive Player of the Year honours in 2012. Despite his roots in Rock Hill, South Carolina, not being extensively documented or publicly linked to his past or professional career, Clowney's heritage remains a significant part of his identity.
Clowney, the 2014 No. 1 overall pick and a three-time Pro Bowler, insists he still has 'a lot' left in the tank as he embarks on his 12th NFL season. He's eager to contribute to the Cowboys' success and believes he can make a difference on the team's defense.
As Clowney prepares for his Cowboys debut, the team will be hoping his addition can help improve their defensive performance and secure a playoff spot. With Clowney's proven track record and determination, the Cowboys may have found a key piece to help them achieve their objectives.
