You may not have heard the news recently, but the Carolina Panthers went from the defensive winger veteran Jadeveon Clowney. He signed with a $ 20 million contract over two years with the Panthers after having had a strong season with the Ravens of Baltimore and he will not see the second season.
Clowney is easily one of the most notable defensive agents in the NFL at the moment. The Seattle Seahawks exchanged in a memorable way for Clowney in 2019, and although he recorded three bags, 13 strokes and two returns escaped for the affected, the Seahawks have chosen not to keep his services.

Since he left Houston’s Texans, Clowney has become a companion. He made five teams dating from 2019 and his time with the Cleveland Browns ended very badly. When he joined the Ravens in 2023, Clowney had 9.5 career bags in the defense of Mike Macdonald and was part of the N ° 1 classified unit in Baltimore.
In Caroline, Clowney had 5.5 bags in 14 games, as well as four defensive passes and 11 strokes QB. The defense of the panthers was terrible but it does not seem that it was a major reason. Carolina seeks to become younger and open a cap space, so Clowney was obviously a victim of a cap.
Do you want the Seahawks to strengthen their defensive line a little more and bring Clowney back? He has past links with Mike Macdonald and it is probably the strongest argument in favor of signing it. With Derick Hall, Boye Mafe, Demarcus Lawrence and Uchenna Nwosu all on the table of depths, Clowney would not have to rely on the first Pass-Rusher / Run-Stopper like Seattle in 2019.
The back of the medal, which I find myself, is that he is 32 years old with a very deep story of injuries that made him miss time. I prefer to see this playing time allocated to players on the list right now. It also seems particular that, as long as Clowney is praised for his rushing disruptive pass (despite the absence of a high volume of bags) and his ability to stop the race, he has repeatedly rebounded from one team to another in recent seasons, regardless of his salary.

I don’t want Clowney to come back and I don’t really see a justification “Take A Flyer” for him either. But perhaps you think the opposite and see its success with Macdonald as a reason to try to further strengthen Seattle’s defensive depth. Discuss in the comments!
