With pass rush a priority, the Packers are exploring potential options to bolster that area, especially after Rashan Gary’s exit and Micah Parsons’ absence early in the offseason. One high-profile possibility being discussed is Jadeveon Clowney, a veteran edge threat who previously contributed for Dallas.
Clowney, the former No. 1 overall pick, joined the Cowboys midseason last year and delivered strong numbers—13 games, 41 total tackles, 8.5 sacks, plus fumbles and defended passes. While he has never fully lived up to the pre-draft hype, his proven production could offer immediate depth behind Parsons and a complementary presence for Green Bay’s defense.
The Packers’ current depth at outside linebacker includes Lukas Van Ness in a larger role, along with Karl Brooks, Brenton Cox Jr., Edgerrin Cooper, Collin Oliver, and Barryn Sorrell. While there is capable talent, questions remain about experience and proven production at the edge position.
Overall, adding Clowney would align with Green Bay’s all-in mindset for a potential Super Bowl run, provided the price is reasonable. If signed, he could help stabilize the pass rush late in the year as the team builds continuity with its younger edge defenders.
