"The Dallas Cowboys needed some help for their pass rush. That's what happens when you trade away a perennial Defensive Player of the Year candidate who never had fewer than 12 sacks in a season. To fix their predictable woes after parting with Micah Parsons, the Cowboys have turned to a former No. 1 overall pick. Jadeveon Clowney is, hopefully, the answer to this issue, and he's gearing up to make his Dallas debut with a new jersey number."
"Clowney hasn't lived up to the sky-high expectations fans and analysts had for him as the top pick in the 2014 NFL Draft by the Houston Texans. Yet, he's been a dependable pass rusher for most of his career. Last season, playing for the Carolina Panthers, he still made an impact with 5.5 sacks. Now, he was the best pickup the Cowboys could find at this point in the season."
The Dallas Cowboys sought help for their pass rush after trading Micah Parsons, who consistently had at least 12 sacks per season. The team acquired Jadeveon Clowney, a former No. 1 overall pick, who will wear No. 42 with Dallas. Clowney has not met his initial high expectations but has been a dependable pass rusher across his career. He recorded 5.5 sacks last season with the Carolina Panthers. Clowney provides veteran experience for coordinator Matt Eberflus but likely will not match Parsons’ impact. The team hopes he can improve a defense that has struggled in recent outings.
