Green Bay Packers Eye Pro Bowl Defender Signing

The Green Bay Packers are likely to sign Pro Bowl defender Jadeveon Clowney this summer.

NFL insider Jason La Canfora reports the Packers have emerged as favorites to sign Clowney.

What happened to Micah Parsons?

Micah Parsons suffered an ACL and meniscus tear on Dec. 14 against the Denver Broncos.

He is expected to start the regular season on the Physically Unable to Perform list.

Why it matters for Green Bay Packers

The Packers have a void in the front seven without Parsons.

Clowney would be the team's best edge defender until Parsons returns.

The Packers are currently 10th in the American Football Conference with a 7-10 record.

What comes next?

The Packers have $23.108 million in cap space, enough to land Clowney.

Clowney recorded 22 pressures, 12 tackles for loss, 10 quarterback hits, 8.5 sacks, and 4 pass deflections in 13 games last season.

The Packers' next game is against the Minnesota Vikings on Sept. 13, 2026.

The team is relying heavily on Karl Brooks, Lukas Van Ness, and Brenton Cox Jr. next season.

There's also hope that 2025 draft picks Barryn Sorrell and Collin Oliver can step up this fall.

Clowney's signing would be a significant boost to the Packers' defense.

The Packers are poised to enter the 2026 NFL season without Parsons, but Clowney's addition would fill the gap.
