Overview

• Dallas hosted Jadeveon Clowney for a visit and workout on Sept. 10, but he departed without a contract, with local reporting indicating he is probably not expected to sign.
• The team remains in contact with Clowney, per Josina Anderson, as it evaluates veteran options to bolster a thinned edge group.
• The Cowboys traded All-Pro Micah Parsons to the Packers on Aug. 28 for DT Kenny Clark and first-round picks in 2026 and 2027, and Green Bay immediately extended him on a four-year deal reported around $186–188 million.
• Week 1 exposed Dallas’ need for finishing pass-rush production in a 24-20 loss to the Eagles, leaving more on the plate for Sam Williams, Marshawn Kneeland, Dante Fowler Jr., James Houston and rookie Donovan Ezeiruaku.
• Head coach Brian Schottenheimer cited a personal relationship and Clowney’s run-and-pass disruption as reasons for the look, while Parsons has already contributed in Green Bay’s 2-0 start and drawn public attention to Dallas’ summer decisions.
