Commanders seen as landing spot for Jadeveon Clowney amid roster changes

The Washington Commanders have been identified as a potential fit for free-agent pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney. Clowney, the former No. 1 overall pick, had 8.5 sacks for the Dallas Cowboys last season. The Commanders have focused on upgrading their defense this offseason, bringing in new players to strengthen their front seven but still appear to need edge support after not re-signing their previous player at that position. However, Clowney, now 33, is expected to pursue a team where he can start, which complicates his fit with Washington's current roster setup. Clowney has played for seven teams in his 12 NFL seasons but remains considered a quality addition.
