Jadeveon Clowney signs one-year deal with Houston Texans

Summary

Jadeveon Clowney, a free agent edge rusher and former Dallas Cowboys player, has signed a one-year contract to return to the Houston Texans. Clowney, who was the Cowboys' leading sack artist in 2025 with 8.5 sacks, bolsters a Texans defense that is considered one of the best in the NFL. The deal is valued at $5.5 million with the potential to reach $8 million. Clowney's return comes after a lackluster season for the Cowboys, who missed the playoffs and finished with the league's worst defense. The Texans hope Clowney can enhance their defensive lineup significantly as the new season approaches.
