The New England Patriots may need another edge rusher this offseason.
Patriots rookie linebacker Gabe Jacas is dealing with an injury to his knee, which he had a procedure on this spring, and is the only second-round pick from this year’s draft class that has yet to sign with their respective team. Though New England is in good hands with Harold Landry and Dre’Mont Jones on the edge, a third star added to the rotation stands to benefit the team greatly in 2026.
According to Bleacher Report’s Alex Kay, the Patriots are the perfect landing spot for star free agent edge rusher Jadeveon Clowney.
“The New England Patriots are a fantastic fit for Clowney,” Kay said. “The team needs to bolster the edge after coming up just short of a Super Bowl last season, adding some firepower to combat the top-tier opposing signal-callers the squad is set to come up against during the 2026 campaign.”
Clowney played at a high level last season in his 12th year in the league. The South Carolina native recorded 8.5 sacks across only 13 games played, six of which he started for the Dallas Cowboys in 2025. He was a disruptor in the pass rush and showed that he’s still a high-end edge rusher in the league.
