The Dallas Cowboys secured an epic comeback win over the New York Giants on Sunday afternoon, forcing overtime with a 64-yard field goal off of Brandon Aubrey's golden boot before claiming overtime victory to leave Week 2 with their first win of the NFL season.

Following the game, the Cowboys landed another major win.

It was announced that the Cowboys and veteran defensive end Jadeveon Clowney have agreed to a deal. The two sides have been flirting for several days, but on Sunday afternoon, a deal became official.

And now, we know the details.

According to NFL insider Ian Rapoport, the Cowboys and Clowney have agreed to a one-year deal deal worth $3.5 million. The contract has a max value of $6 million with incentives.

That is a great, affordable deal for a player who brings a much-needed veteran presence to the defensive end rotation. As a bonus, Clowney can help both the pass rush and run the defense, and defensive line coach Aaron Whitecotton loves players with versatility.

Last season, Clowney spent time with the Carolina Panthers. He has also had stints with the Baltimore Ravens, Cleveland Browns, Tennessee Titans, Seattle Seahawks, and Houston Texans.

Clowney recorded 5.5 sacks and 46 tackles in 14 games. We'll have to see if the team revisits the Clowney option if nothing improves moving forward.
