Jadeveon Clowney is looking for his fourth team in four years and seventh NFL team overall after being released by the Carolina Panthers on Thursday. The move frees up $7.78 million in cap space for Carolina as Clowney was due around $8.53 million in salary in 2025, with $2 million reportedly guaranteed.

The Panthers explored a trade of Jadeveon Clowney before the draft, but nothing came about on that front. Given the team’s rookie additions, though, the possibility remained the veteran edge rusher would be let go after only one season in Carolina.
