Jadeveon Clowney, the veteran defensive end, has made his way to Baltimore, leaving the pool of valuable NFL free agents dwindling. Multiple sources have reported that the Ravens have signed Clowney to a one-year deal. Over the past two seasons with the Browns, Clowney has impressed with 11 sacks and 23 quarterback hits. As the former No. 1 overall pick in 2014, Clowney enjoyed three consecutive Pro Bowl appearances from 2016 to 2018 while playing for the Texans. With previous stints in Seattle and Tennessee, Clowney has accumulated an impressive 43 sacks over 109 games in his career.
Odell Beckham Jr., Clowney’s former teammate on the Browns who also joined the Ravens this offseason, expressed his excitement with the signing. In the wake of star cornerback Marlon Humphrey’s impending foot surgery, Baltimore’s defense is in need of reinforcements. Despite finishing third in the league in points allowed last year, the Ravens’ defense could use an extra boost. Clowney’s arrival is expected to provide just that.
Clowney’s time with the Browns ended on a sour note due to frustration with defensive line assignments. He believed that Myles Garrett, the star lineman, was receiving more favorable matchups, hindering Clowney’s performance. In fact, Clowney expressed uncertainty about his return to Cleveland, stating that he was “ninety-five percent sure” he wouldn’t be back. However, as we know, anything can happen.
With Clowney off the market, it seems that the top stars of this year’s NFL free-agent class have found new homes. The Jets have signed Dalvin Cook, and the Patriots have acquired Ezekiel Elliot. Despite this, there are still notable players like cornerbacks Isaiah Rodgers and Ronald Darby, as well as veteran running backs Kareem Hunt and Leonard Fournette, who remain unsigned.
