An ESPN analyst has proposed that the Green Bay Packers should sign free agent Jadeveon Clowney to bolster their defense ahead of training camp. The Packers face uncertainties in their edge rusher position due to an extended injury absence from Micah Parsons, which could leave them relying on unproven talent early in the season. Clowney, who tallied 8.5 sacks last season with the Dallas Cowboys, could address these concerns while providing valuable depth. With Parsons' return timeline pushed back, adding Clowney appears to be a strategic move for the Packers.
- •Clowney recorded 8.5 sacks and 12 tackles for loss in 2025.
- •Micah Parsons is expected to be out until at least mid-October.
- •Lukas Van Ness may start as the primary edge rusher for the Packers initially.
- •The Packers are also exploring other options if they cannot trade for Montez Sweat.
