Jordan Schultz reports that the Ravens are signing veteran OLB Jadeveon Clowney to a contract on Friday.
According to Aaron Wilson, Clowney’s one-year contract with the Ravens is worth up to $6 million.
Clowney had been one of the best available free agents for a few months now, but it was clear he was going to wait to sign with his next team shortly before the start of the season.
The Ravens hosted Clowney for a visit a few weeks ago. However, he left without a deal and later met with the Jaguars.
Clowney, 30, is a former No. 1 overall pick of the Texans back in 2014. He was in the final year of his four-year, $22.272 million contract when the Texans picked up his fifth-year option which paid him $12.306 million for the 2018 season.
Houston franchised Clowney before trading him to the Seahawks at the start of the regular season in 2019. It took until September in 2020 for him to a sign one-year deal worth up to $15 million with the Titans.
Clowney signed with the Browns on one-year deals in 2021 and 2022, the second worth $11 million. However, Cleveland designated him as a post-June 1 release this offseason. He recently met with the Ravens.
In 2022, Clowney appeared in 12 games for the Browns and recorded 28 tackles, two sacks, a forced fumble, a recovery, and three pass defenses.
