Jadeveon Clowney reveals what he'll bring to Dallas Cowboys defense

New Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jadeveon Clowney is expected to make his debut with the team in Week 4 against the Green Bay Packers, and plans to make an immediate impact.

The Dallas Cowboys' pass rush has left a lot to be desired since trading away Micah Parsons to the Green Bay Packers before the start of the 2025-26 NFL season.

While the Cowboys will be welcoming Parsons back to AT&T Stadium for a Week 4 showdown against Green Bay in primetime, they will also be introducing their newest tight end, Jadeveon Clowney, to the fans.

Clowney brings a veteran presence and leadership to a unit that greatly needs it, and his versatility allows him to impact the game against the run or with his pass rush.

"A lot, man," Clowney said, via DallasCowboys.com. "Just bringing my energy, my effort out there, and I think that's going to be enough for me. Just let my play do the talking.

"I feel good. Football, it's coming back, like riding a bike. Just get out there and go, and work your hands and make sure you just run to the ball, you'll get in shape."

Last season, Clowney spent time with the Carolina Panthers. He has also had stints with the Baltimore RavensCleveland BrownsTennessee TitansSeattle Seahawks, and Houston Texans. Clowney recorded 5.5 sacks and 46 tackles in 14 games.

If he can bring the much-needed pass rush to Dallas, it will be a low-risk, high-reward move that paid off in a big way.
