Ravens Insider: Cowboys sign veteran pass rusher and former Ravens DE Jadeveon Clowney

ARLINGTON, Texas (AP) — The Dallas Cowboys have signed Jadeveon Clowney a little more than two weeks after trading star pass rusher Micah Parsons to Green Bay, team owner and general manager Jerry Jones said Sunday.

Jones told reporters after a thrilling 40-37 overtime victory over the New York Giants the club would add the veteran defensive end who visited the Cowboys this past week.

The 32-year-old Clowney joins a group that was already young and got younger when Dallas ended a long contract stalemate with Parsons by sending the 26-year-old in his prime to the Packers in a stunner.

Clowney had 5 1/2 sacks for Carolina last season after tying his career high of 9 1/2 in 2023 with Baltimore. The 2014 No. 1 overall pick out of South Carolina has 58 sacks in 140 games over 11 years.

Clowney’s signing with Dallas takes a potential pass rushing addition off the market for the Ravens. Outside linebacker Kyle Van Noy, who had 12 1/2 sacks in 2024, is expected to miss some time with a hamstring injury suffered in Baltimore’s Week 2 win over the Browns. In Van Noy’s absence, the Ravens are expected to give increased time to pass rushers Tavius Robinson and rookie Mike Green. Robinson recorded a sack in Sunday’s victory, forcing a fumble that was recovered by linebacker Roquan Smith and returned for a touchdown.

While the Ravens have been hesitant to give specifics about Van Noy’s health, his injury is not considered a season-ending ailment. Coach John Harbaugh said Monday that he’s confident in the team’s current depth behind Van Noy.
