The Seattle Seahawks already made one notable move for their pass rush by adding Dante Fowler Jr., but there’s still room for another veteran piece on the edge. One name that keeps making sense is a familiar one: Jadeveon Clowney.
Clowney is still sitting in free agency after a productive 2025 season with the Dallas Cowboys, where he played 13 games and finished with 12 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, and 22 quarterback pressures. Kristopher Knox of Bleacher Report recently listed potential landing spots for the top remaining free agents, and Seattle was among the teams named for Clowney.
Knox pointed to more than just the sack total when making the case. “This past season, for example, Clowney joined the Dallas Cowboys for 13 games and finished with 12 tackles for loss, 8.5 sacks, and 22 quarterback pressures. He isn't just a situational edge-rusher, either, and remains a very disruptive force against the run.”
Pro Football Focus ranked Clowney 18th overall among 115 edge-defenders for the 2025 season, which helps explain why he’s still viewed as a useful addition for a team looking to deepen its front.
The fit in Seattle is easy to see. Clowney already spent the 2019 season with the Seahawks, posting 31 tackles, seven tackles for loss, and three sacks. He also played alongside Fowler in Dallas last season, which only adds another layer of familiarity if Seattle wanted to bring him back.
At 33, Clowney isn’t the same player who entered the league as the top pick, but he’s still productive enough to matter. He has three Pro Bowl selections and has reached at least six sacks in six of his 12 seasons.
If the Seahawks did make the move, Clowney would slot into a veteran-heavy edge group with Fowler, Demarcus Lawrence, and Uchenna Nwosu. That would give Seattle plenty of experience and flexibility on the outside, while also giving Clowney a chance to join a contender again.

Jadarian Price Could Force Seahawks Into Another Huge RB Decision
John Schneiders track record at running back has usually been about patience and value, not splashy investment, which is why the Seahawks current situation is worth watching. Seattle has bodies in the backfield, but after Kenneth Walker III moved on in free agency, it no longer has the kind of explosive runner who can tilt a game with one touch. That leaves the spotlight on Jadarian Price, the rare early pick at the position in Schneiders tenure, and on how quickly the Seahawks can sort out whether they have found a long-term answer.
If Price settles in, Seattle can keep building around him and avoid another major swing. If he does not, the path gets complicated fast, with the front office potentially weighing another premium draft pick at a position it usually treats cautiously, or looking ahead to a market that could include veteran help and a new crop of college runners. Names like Kewan Lacy and Ahmad Hardy already fit the kind of conversation Seattle may be forced to have again sooner than expected. [Read more 🡒]
Seahawks Roster Looks Loaded But One Camp Concern Stands Out
With rookie camp underway and the 2026 season still months away, Seattles roster already looks deeper than it has in a while. Leonard Williams and Byron Murphy give the defensive front real backbone, Jaxon Smith-Njigba remains the most obvious offensive centerpiece, and Sam Darnold arrives with enough support around him to make this a team worth watching early. Even with offseason turnover, the Seahawks have the feel of a club that can point to multiple established pieces and a few young names ready to push for bigger roles.
The one area that keeps surfacing, though, is the back end of the roster and how quickly the new pieces can settle in. Losing Coby Bryant and Riq Woolen changes the look of the secondary, and Seattle is leaning on rookies Bud Clark and Julian Neal to help absorb that hit while the rest of camp sorts out the depth chart. There is also a real camp battle brewing behind Darnold, with Drew Lock and Jalen Milroe competing for the No. 2 job, the kind of subplot that can matter more than it sounds if the Seahawks need stability in a hurry.

Zach Charbonnet May Be Running Out Of Time In Seattle
Zach Charbonnets path back to the Seahawks has already been complicated by the ACL injury he suffered in last seasons divisional playoff game against the 49ers, and his absence has only sharpened the questions around where he fits next. He was coming off a productive season that may have marked his high-water point in Seattle, but the running back picture has moved on while he has been sidelined.
For Charbonnet, the challenge now is not just getting healthy, but doing enough once he is back on the field to remind Seattle what he can still offer. The Seahawks have a different look in place at the position, and with his future role unsettled, every remaining opportunity to show he can still be a factor carries real weight for both sides.
