Stop me if you've heard this one before but Jadeveon Clowney is a free agent in search of a new team. The journeyman has bounced around the league a lot over the past half decade, spending time with the Browns, Ravens, Panthers, and Cowboys during that time.
Per Mike Garafolo, Clowney is reportedly visiting with the Browns, and it continues to make Kansas City Chiefs fans wonder why their team never shows any interest in the veteran pass-rusher. Sure, Clowney isn't a superstar by any means, but he's coming off an 8.5-sack season with Dallas in 2025 and clearly has enough left in the tank, even at age 33.
Yet, time and time again, when Clowney is a free agent deep into the offseason, Brett Veach never even seems to glance his way. It'd be one thing if the Chiefs' pass rush was electric, as it had been during their dynasty run but that's far from the case now. This group could desperately Clowney's veteran leadership and experience.
Chiefs continue to overlook Jadeveon Clowney despite glaring need
Kansas City's pass rush ranked in the bottom 10 when it came to total sacks last year. That would be enough to think that the Chiefs should take a flier on Clowney but Veach apparently thinks otherwise. Veach did spend early draft picks on Peter Woods and R Mason Thomas to help out in that department and perhaps that's why there's been no interest in Clowney.
It's also possible that Veach simply doesn't like what he sees there. As noted, Clowney is 33 years old and is certainly closer to the end of his career than the beginning of it. At the same time though, he continues to perform well and could absolutely help this K.C. pass rush thrive, especially since the Chiefs are leaning heavily on young guys to step up and help the team out in that department.
Clowney, the former first overall pick in 2014, has been around the block and back during his lengthy NFL career for sure. He still produces at a decent level for someone his age though and it's incredibly frustrating that the Chiefs never even look in his direction. Hopefully, the decision to pass on him once again doesn't backfire on them, as it has in recent years.
