Jadeveon Clowney is looking forward to teaming up with fellow pass rusher Myles Garrett after signing for the Cleveland Browns.
The Browns confirmed the arrival of free agent Clowney on Wednesday, reportedly on a one-year, $10million contract.
Clowney, the first overall pick in 2014, was a three-time Pro Bowler with the Houston Texans before spending the 2019 season with the Seattle Seahawks and joining the Tennessee Titans for 2020.
Cleveland has become the 28-year-old's latest stop and he is revelling the opportunity to play opposite Garrett.
Clowney has 32.0 career sacks, a tally bettered by Garrett, who has quickly racked up 42.5 along with 83 quarterback hits in four seasons.
"I've been getting double-teamed an awful lot in this league, in my career," the new signing said.
"I'm looking forward to playing with somebody dominant on the other side in Myles Garrett who can draw a double-team. Maybe I can go one-on-one more."
Clowney will be hoping to rediscover the form of his final two seasons in Houston, which saw 18.5 sacks and 42 QB hits across 31 games.
He has had just 19 starts since leaving the Texans and missed the second half of last season in Tennessee with a knee injury.
