A dominant Houston Texans defense just got better.
The Texans have agreed to terms with free-agent defensive end Jadeveon Clowney, NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports . Clowney, 33, remains an effective effective pass rusher who 8.5 sacks for the Dallas Cowboys last season.
The deal reunites Clowney with the Texans team that selected him No. 1 overall in the 2014 NFL Draft.
Clowney joins a Texans team that returns the core of arguably the NFL’s best defense from 2025. Houston allowed the fewest yards in the the NFL (277.2 per game) and the second fewest points (17.2 per game). He’ll fortify a pass rush that already features 5-time Pro Bowler Danielle Hunter (15 sacks, 22 QB hits) and first-team All-Pro Will Anderson (12 sacks, 23 QB hits).
