The Baltimore Ravens are still making improvements before the start of the 2023 NFL regular season. The team reportedly signed former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney to a one-year deal Friday, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network.
After being selected by the Houston Texans with the first pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, Clowney excelled early in his career. In five seasons with the team, he made three Pro Bowls and was named a second-team All-Pro in 2016. Clowney racked up 29 sacks with the team.
Clowney was traded to the Seattle Seahawks just before the start of the 2019 NFL season. He recorded just three sacks in 13 games before entering free agency. He spent one injury-riddled season with the Tennessee Titans before signing with the Browns. After racking up nine sacks with Cleveland in 2021, Clowney registered two sacks in 2022.
The Ravens don't need Clowney to perform like a superstar in 2023. The team ranked third in points against in 2022, allowing just 18.5 points per game. The Ravens also tied for fifth in the NFL with 48 sacks in 2022. The team, however, lost both Justin Houston and Calais Campbell in the offseason. Houston led Baltimore with nine and a half sacks last season. Campbell was tied for second with five and a half sacks in 2022. Clowney was likely signed to offset those losses provided he can still harass opposing quarterbacks.
