Free agent edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney visited the Cowboys on Wednesday, but he left without a contract.<\/p>\n
Bryan Broaddus of 105.3 The Fan reports \u201cthe Cowboys wanted to sign Clowney. Clowney\u2019s the one who made this decision. He said he\u2019d like to wait.\u201d<\/p>\n
The Cowboys now are trying to convince Clowney to join them.<\/p>\n
\u201cGood visit. Talked to him again yesterday,\u201d Cowboys coach Brian Schottenheimer said Friday, via Jon Machota of TheAthletic.com. \u201cThis is one of those deals where it\u2019s a business decision. There are two sides that have to come together. It was a great visit. We\u2019ll kind of see how it plays out.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen I talked to him yesterday, he was cooking dinner for his kids. Talked to them. His son goes: \u2018I don\u2019t know you.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Well, you might. You might soon.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n
The holdup could be money as Clowney does not come cheap.<\/p>\n
Five of his past six contracts have been one-year deals, and he spent only one season in Carolina after signing a two-year deal in the 2024 offseason. The $4.5 million he made in Baltimore in 2023 is the least amount of money he\u2019s made in any season. <\/p>\n
Clowney made $9.786 million with the Panthers for one season.<\/p>\n
He has never had a double-digit sack season but has 58 since the Texans made him the No. 1 overall pick in 2014. Clowney\u2019s three Pro Bowls came with the Texans in 2016-18.<\/p>\n
The Cowboys could use another edge rusher for their defensive ends-by-committee now that they\u2019ve traded Micah Parsons. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Free agent edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney visited the Cowboys on Wednesday, but he left without a contract.
