What happened: Houston agreed to terms with Jadeveon Clowney, adding the veteran edge rusher before preseason. The Texans originally selected him No. 1 overall in the 2014 NFL draft.
Why it matters: The move brings proven pass-rush production into training camp while keeping Clowney in his hometown. Houston gains an experienced option for its defensive rotation.
By the numbers: Clowney recorded 8.5 sacks during the 2025 season.
What to watch: Clowney’s role in Houston’s pass-rush rotation will come into focus during training camp.
