Overview

  • Jadeveon Clowney, a three-time Pro Bowler, was released by the Carolina Panthers with one year remaining on his two-year, $20 million contract.
  • The move frees up $7.78 million in cap space for the Panthers, helping them address financial needs such as their rookie draft class.
  • Clowney recorded 5.5 sacks, 46 tackles, and strong run-defense grades in 14 games during the 2024 season with Carolina.
  • The New York Jets are reportedly considering Clowney as a cost-efficient option to bolster their defensive line and support Jermaine Johnson’s recovery from an Achilles injury.
  • Clowney’s elite run-stopping ability and consistent pass-rushing production over his career make him an appealing target for teams needing veteran depth.
