The Seattle Seahawks finished their NFL draft without taking an edge rusher, but they could remedy that situation immediately in free agency.

The first day of the NFL draft is in the books, and teams have started addressing some of their biggest needs this offseason.

The Chicago Bears are at the center of the conversation following the early rounds of the 2026 National Football League draft. By focusing almost exclusively on the offense, the organization has overlooked a glaring need: strengthening its defensive line.

Could the Houston Texans reunite with a familiar friend in free agency?

Jadeveon Clowney and the San Francisco 49ers have emerged as a potential match as the veteran pass rusher continues to draw interest in free agency. The pairing reflects a strategic opportunity for a team looking to reinforce its defensive front.

The Dallas Cowboys have been slow in getting their sack leader in 2025 re-signed. He confirms, however, that he's got "a lot left in the tank."

“ That’s the usual for me ,” Clowney told Aaron Wilson of KPRC. “The usual, all season. Come in, stand on my grind. I got a lot left in the tank. I don’t know if other people know that, but I know that. I can continue to prove that to people and go out there and show people I’m going to do that.”

After Bradley McDougald was traded to the Jets in the deal that sent Jamal Adams to the Seattle Seahawks, McDougald tweeted about a conversation with free agent Jadeveon Clowney. McDougald said Clowney told him “to tell the Jets to come get me!

The Panthers are moving on from one of their veteran defenders. According to multiple reports, Carolina is releasing edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney. The No. 1 overall pick of the 2014 draft, Clowney had signed a two-year deal with the Panthers last offseason.
