Best landing spot for Jadeveon Clowney may be a familiar AFC heavyweight

All 32 training camps are underway, and the 2025 NFL preseason begins on Thursday night in Canton, Ohio, when the Los Angeles Chargers and Detroit Lions clash in the Hall of Fame Game.

Over the last week or so, there has been a lot of player movement around the league. Cory Woodroof of USA Today’s For The Win has been keeping track of the numerous veteran free agents still available to teams right now, and continues to make recommendations when it comes to possible landing spots for these veteran performers.

Back in early May, the Carolina Panthers parted ways with a performer who had tied for the team lead in sacks (5.5) this past season. After inking Jadeveon Clowney to a two-year contract in 2024, the club cut him loose after only one season. The 11-year pro remains a free agent, and writers and analysts have been making their share of predictions on who the first overall pick in the 2014 draft could eventually sign with.

Could Jadeveon Clowney reunite with the AFC North champion Ravens?

As for Woodruff, he believes that Clowney could wind up back where he was before he signed with the Panthers last offseason. “The Ravens adding Clowney as a mercenary rusher at this point in the season would be such a Ravens move. Clowney has played there before, and we like the idea of a reunion for both sides quite a bit.”
