Texans show interest in defensive end Jadeveon Clowney ahead of season
Summary

The Houston Texans are exploring the possibility of re-signing Jadeveon Clowney, the former No. 1 overall pick, ahead of the 2026 NFL season. Clowney, 33, has also drawn interest from the Cleveland Browns and Seattle Seahawks. After a solid 2025 season with the Dallas Cowboys, where he led the team with 8.5 sacks, Clowney could serve as a rotational third-down option for Houston. The Texans have a strong defensive lineup led by Will Anderson Jr. but may look to enhance their pass rush and run defense. The Texans open their regular season against the Buffalo Bills on September 13.
