Breaking News: Jadeveon Clowney Is Back with the Seattle Seahawks
May 10, 2025 | Seattle, WA
In a stunning twist that’s sending shockwaves through the NFC West, Jadeveon Clowney is officially returning to the Seattle Seahawks.
The team announced Saturday that the veteran edge rusher has signed a one-year deal to rejoin the franchise where he first made waves as a disruptive defensive force in 2019. The move reunites Clowney with a fan base that embraced his physical play and explosive energy — and signals that the Seahawks are going all-in on revamping their defense in 2025.
Clowney, 32, is coming off a strong season with the Baltimore Ravens, where he posted 9.5 sacks, 14 tackles for loss, and a career-high 25 quarterback hits. He played a key role in Baltimore’s deep playoff run, reestablishing himself as one of the league’s most effective pass rushers. With several teams vying for his services this offseason, Clowney chose familiarity and unfinished business in Seattle.
“I never felt like I was done here,” Clowney said in a statement. “I loved my time in Seattle — the fans, the energy, the culture. I’m ready to get back to work and help this team win.”
Clowney played one season with the Seahawks in 2019 after being acquired in a trade from the Houston Texans. Despite modest sack numbers that year (3.0), he made a significant impact as a run defender and game-wrecker, most notably in a dominant performance against the 49ers on Monday Night Football.
Now, paired with young talents like Boye Mafe and Derick Hall, Clowney’s return adds veteran leadership and championship-caliber experience to a Seattle defense looking to return to its former glory under new head coach Mike Macdonald.
General Manager John Schneider praised the move, calling Clowney “a fierce competitor” and someone who “fits exactly what we’re building on that side of the ball.”
The Seahawks have been aggressive this offseason in rebuilding their defensive front, and Clowney’s return further solidifies that commitment. While his best statistical years may be behind him, his presence on the field and in the locker room could be a game-changer for a Seattle team looking to rise in a stacked NFC.
With training camp just months away, one thing is clear: Jadeveon Clowney is back in Seattle — and he’s not here to coast.
