Jadeveon Clowney Has Joined Dallas Cowboys! New Chapter Has Started

Dallas, TX – September 13, 2025

The Dallas Cowboys have made it official: veteran pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney has signed a one-year deal with the team, adding a massive piece to a defensive front still adjusting after the departure of Micah Parsons.

The value of the contract has not yet been disclosed, but the move comes at a pivotal time. Dallas is searching for proven edge production and leadership to stabilize a pass rush that struggled to find answers in Week 1.

Clowney, 32, was released by the Carolina Panthers earlier this offseason despite posting a solid 2024 campaign: 46 tackles, 5.5 sacks, and four pass deflections in 14 starts. His release surprised many around the league.

Since being drafted No. 1 overall in 2014, Clowney has suited up for the Texans, Seahawks, Titans, Browns, Ravens, and Panthers. Now, he adds Dallas to his long list of NFL stops, bringing experience and toughness.

For the Cowboys, this isn’t just about filling a roster spot. It’s about injecting a battle-tested veteran who can set the edge, collapse the pocket, and take pressure off the younger defensive linemen.

Clowney has never quite lived up to the “superstar” expectations that followed him out of South Carolina, but he’s carved out a career as a disruptive, physical defender capable of game-changing plays.

“This is the type of move that makes sense for both sides,” one team source said. “Dallas needs help, and Clowney wants one more chance to prove he can still dominate.”

Cowboys fans will be watching closely to see how quickly Clowney fits into Dan Quinn’s system. His presence could prove critical as Dallas looks to re-establish itself as an NFC powerhouse.

Steelers Add Two Former Packers Fan Favorites to Practice Squad To Strengthen Defense Ahead Of Browns Game
  PITTSBURGH – On Wednesday, October 8, 2025, the Pittsburgh Steelers welcomed two linebackers formerly with the Green Bay Packers for a workout session. The players invited were Michael Barrett and Isaiah Simmons, as the team looks to bolster its defensive unit ahead of upcoming games. Isaiah Simmons, selected as the 8th overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft out of Clemson, has appeared in 84 games. He has recorded 329 tackles (226 solo, 103 assisted), 8.5 sacks (74 yards), 5 interceptions (127 yards), 2 interception touchdowns, 9 forced fumbles, and 3 fumble recoveries. Simmons, who briefly signed with the Packers in 2025 but didn’t make the final roster, is known for his versatility and impressive speed. Michael Barrett, a 7th-round pick (240th overall) by the Carolina Panthers in the 2024 NFL Draft out of Michigan, has limited NFL experience. He has appeared in a few games on practice squads with teams like the Packers and Browns but has yet to record significant stats (0 tackles, sacks, or interceptions). At Michigan, Barrett had a standout final college season with 65 tackles, 3 sacks, and 3 forced fumbles. Alex Highsmith, a key linebacker for the Steelers, suffered a high ankle sprain during the team’s Week 2 loss to the Seattle Seahawks on September 14, 2025. The injury sidelined him for Weeks 3 and 4, with an estimated recovery time of 4-6 weeks. While Highsmith was not placed on injured reserve to maintain roster flexibility, he is still recovering post-bye week and expected to return soon. However, the Steelers are seeking temporary replacements for the edge rusher position. The workouts with Barrett and Simmons reflect head coach Mike Tomlin’s cautious approach to adding depth to the defense, especially after releasing Ja’Whaun Bentley and losing Jon Rhattigan to the Raiders. Simmons, with his experience and athleticism, could be an ideal short-term option to support T.J. Watt and Nick Herbig. The Steelers have not yet announced any contract decisions regarding the two linebackers. SOURCE: https://x.com/FarabaughFB/status/1976031373946388722
