The San Francisco 49ers<\/a> have surfaced in plenty of rumors involving veteran pass rushers, but they haven\u2019t signed one as training camp approaches.<\/p>\n After finishing last season with 20 sacks, the 49ers are counting on Nick Bosa and Mykel Williams to help generate more pressure this year. They also added another edge rusher by selecting Romello Height in the 2026 NFL<\/a> Draft.<\/p>\n One of the names in the speculation regarding the 49ers is Jadeveon Clowney, as the veteran is now used to signing a one-year contract at this point in his career. <\/p>\n However, Wynston Wilcox of FanSided doesn\u2019t see Clowney signing with the Niners; he has the pass rusher going to the Green Bay Packers<\/a>. <\/p>\n \u201cThe Green Bay Packers need to find a cheap, short-term option on their defensive line, and Jadeveon Clowney is just that,\u201d Wilcox wrote in a July 12 article<\/a>. \u201cHe has had durability issues and is an aging veteran, but what he can provide a team in need is too valuable to pass up. <\/p>\n \u201cHe\u2019ll be in his age-33 season, which isn\u2019t ideal, but for a team like the Packers who are in their championship window, they can\u2019t afford to pass up on his potential \u2014 particularly in run defense.\u201d<\/p>\n Last season with the\u00a0Dallas Cowboys<\/a>, Clowney played 372 snaps and earned a 79.2 overall PFF defensive grade<\/a>. Moreover, he generated 40 total pressures, nine sacks, 29 hurries, two QB hits, and one forced fumble. Meanwhile, against the run, he recorded 26 solo tackles.<\/p>\n Jadeveon Clowney Would Make Sense for Packers<\/p>\n Moreover, Wilcox argues that Clowney\u2019s ability to play alongside elite pass rushers is why it would make sense for the Packers, given that they have Micah Parsons. <\/p>\n \u201cClowney fits with the Packers because he\u2019d be the perfect complement to Micah Parsons and a good solution as Parsons continues to rehab his knee injury from late last season,\u201d Wilcox added in his article. \u201cAnd when Clowney is paired with an elite pass rusher, that elevates him as well. <\/p>\n \u201cHis two seasons in Cleveland opposite Myles Garrett resulted in 11 sacks and three forced fumbles in 26 games.\u00a0Since 2021, Clowney has had three seasons with at least eight sacks and 34.5 sacks total during that span.\u201d<\/p>\n 49ers Urged to Pursue Jadeveon Clowney<\/p>\n When it comes to the Niners, they have Nick Bosa, and Clowney could be a good running mate. As a result, KNBR\u2019s Larry Krueger is urging the Niners to go after Clowney ahead of the 2026 NFL season. <\/p>\n \u201cJadeveon Clowney is 33, and he\u2019s been really productive recently,\u201d\u00a0Krueger said in a July 9 video on his YouTube channel<\/a>. \u201cHe\u2019s had 23.5 sacks over the past three seasons in the NFL. This guy\u2019s still getting it done. He\u2019s also very versatile. You can line him up on the right side, on the left side\u00a0or\u00a0in the A-gaps; you can walk him up on the line of scrimmage like a linebacker in a\u00a0five-man\u00a0front. You can play him as a stacked linebacker on the second level or as an off-ball linebacker.<\/p>\n \u201cThere are a lot of different things you can do with Jadeveon Clowney. He\u2019s very versatile, and those 23.5 sacks over the past three seasons show he still has it. Plus, he had 8.5 sacks last year with the Dallas Cowboys, whose defense was horrendous, the worst in football. But Matt Eberflus was there, and now Eberflus, who coached Clowney in Dallas, is in San Francisco.\u201d<\/p>\n \n\t\t\tEduardo Razo<\/a> Eduardo Razo is a sports writer for Heavy.com, covering the NFL, MLB, and college football.
