The Houston Texans signed defensive end Jadaveon Clowney on Sunday.

Clowney, 33, will be starting his second stint with the Texans, who drafted him with the No. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL Draft. 

He now joins the best defense in the league as they look to make another run at a Super Bowl.

*This article will be updated with contract details.

Clowney will enter his 13th season after putting up 41 tackles and 8.5 sacks through 13 games with the Dallas Cowboys last year. 

After spending the first five years of his career with the Texans, Clowney has made a habit of short stints with teams that include the Seattle Seahawks (2019), Tennessee Titans (2020), Cleveland Browns (2021-2022), Baltimore Ravens (2023), and Carolina Panthers (2024). 

He missed a handful of games last season after dealing with shoulder and knee problems, but hasn't missed more than five games in a season since 2020. 

Clowney has 450 tackles, 149 quarterback hits, 120 tackles for loss, 66.5 sacks, 36 pass deflections, 16 forced fumbles, and a league-leading three fumble recoveries for a touchdown among defensive ends since entering the league.
