Colts lose chance to sign pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney to Texans
Summary

Jadeveon Clowney, a top free agent pass rusher, has signed with the Houston Texans. Clowney, a former No. 1 overall pick, recorded over 40 quarterback pressures in the past two seasons. The Indianapolis Colts, seeking to enhance their pass rush, may need to explore other options after Clowney's decision, as they ranked 30th in pass rush win rate last season. With recent changes to their defensive unit, including the acquisition of Arden Key, the Colts aim to bolster their pass rush despite potentially missing out on a key target.
