The Seattle Seahawks are still poking around the veteran edge rusher market, and would you believe who’s back on their radar? None other than Jadeveon Clowney, the guy who rocked the Emerald City before and who’s got a clear history with our very own Coach Mike Macdonald. NFL insider Jordan Schultz first dropped that the Browns met with Clowney for their own reunion talks. Then, fellow insider Aaron Wilson confirmed what we all want to know: both our Hawks and the Houston Texans have officially been keeping tabs on the 33-year-old. My heart just skipped a beat thinking about it, what about yours? The interest is real.
Clowney’s Still Got It, And We Need To Talk About Those Sacks
Okay, so maybe you hear “33-year-old edge rusher” and a tiny alarm bell goes off. But let’s look at the facts, because Clowney just wrapped a season with the Dallas Cowboys that was seriously impressive. He logged a massive 8.5 sacks in only 13 games played, which is just one sack shy of his career high! And get this, he hit that career high not just with the Texans, but also when he played in Mike Macdonald’s defense with the Baltimore Ravens. That’s a huge connection, folks, and it’s not something you can ignore. We’re talking about a three-time Pro Bowl guy, a former number one overall #NFLDraft pick, who proved last year he can still get to the quarterback and make a huge impact. You love to see that kind of veteran performance.
Why The Seahawks Are Kicking The Tires On A Reunion, And The Catch
Remember Clowney’s first stint in Seattle back in 2019? He only had three sacks, but the man delivered a pick-six, a fumble return touchdown, and led the team with an impressive 13 QB hits. Back then, he was effectively tasked with being Seattle’s primary pass rusher on a defense that, let’s be honest, was a bit sub-par. If he came back to the Emerald City now, the situation would be completely different. He wouldn’t be shouldering the entire pass rush load as the primary guy. Plus, his proven ability to play the run is a huge asset that every defense craves. It’s easy to see why Coach Macdonald and the front office might be interested, despite Clowney having bounced around to six different teams since 2019 and his well-documented injury history. The biggest catch right now? We already signed Dante Fowler Jr. earlier this offseason to bolster that edge. So, is this just general market monitoring, or could our Hawks be serious about bringing him home?
This Clowney reunion talk is straight-up wild, especially with the regular season barreling down on us. We’re all on pins and needles, waiting to see if our Hawks actually make a move for one more veteran to solidify that defensive line. Keep those eyes glued to Seattle On Tap, because if anything breaks, you know we’ll be here with the immediate breakdown!
