Jones: Cowboys have signed Clowney to contract

The Dallas Cowboys have signed three-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney to a contract, owner Jerry Jones said after the team's overtime win against the New York Giants on Sunday.

The free agent had visited the Cowboys last week.

The Panthers released Clowney on May 8, moving on from him after just one season of a two-year contract he signed with them in 2023.

Clowney, 32, was due to count $13.775 million against the 2025 salary cap in the second year of a two-year, $20 million deal.

Clowney had 5.5 sacks last season with the Panthers after having 9.5 the previous year with the Baltimore Ravens.

Drafted No. 1 overall by the Houston Texans in 2014, Clowney spent his first five seasons with the franchise but has bounced around since.

In 11 seasons, he has 58 sacks, 139 quarterback hits, 409 tackles and 15 forced fumbles.
