The Cleveland Browns’ fierce defense is keeping another strong piece.
The AFC North team has agreed to terms with former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney, NFL Network reported Sunday.
Clowney played for Cleveland in 2021 and had 9 sacks in 14 games along with a pair of forced fumbles.

Clowney was expected to be a generational force when chosen first overall out of South Carolina by the Houston Texans in 2014.
It has been a strange ride, however. Clowney remained with Houston through 2018, with consecutive Pro Bowl appearances in 2016-18.
Since, he has played for Seattle, Tennessee, and Cleveland.
Overall, he has 41 career sacks with a high of 9.5 in 2017 with Houston.
