Jadeveon Clowney has agreed to terms with the Houston Texans, marking his return to the team that drafted him first overall in 2014. The outside linebacker previously played five seasons in Houston, earning three Pro Bowl selections. Clowney has had stints with several teams since, including the Panthers and Cowboys, and he recorded 8.5 sacks last season in Dallas. The Texans have bolstered their defense with this acquisition, hoping Clowney can contribute to their pass rush once again.
