Lamar Jackson: I ‘Definitely’ Want Jadeveon Clowney Back on Baltimore Ravens

Somebody on X had a question on their mind: Would superstar quarterback Lamar Jackson want defensive end Jadeveon Clowney back on the Baltimore Ravens? “Definitely,” Jackson responded to a fan on X on Thursday who asked the quarterback if he wanted Clowney “back” with the Ravens. Clowney, a three-time Pro Bowler and the No. 1 pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, spent the 2023 season with the Ravens, tying his career-high with 9.5 sacks in said year. He then spent the 2024 season with the Carolina Panthers and later played for the Dallas Cowboys in 2025. Last year in Dallas (2025), Clowney recorded 8.5 sacks, one forced fumble, two fumble recoveries and 41 combined tackles across 13 games. He also finished fourth among edge defenders with four batted passes, according to Pro Football Focus. Should the 33-year-old Clowney reunite with the Ravens, he’d join a defense that was tied for 30th in the NFL in opponent passing yards (247.9 per game) last season, while being 24th in opponent total yards (354.5 per game), 18th in opponent points (23.4 per game) and 10th in opponent rushing yards (106.6 per game). Former Ravens defensive assistant and Miami Dolphins defensive coordinator Anthony Weaver is Baltimore’s new defensive coordinator under new head coach Jesse Minter. As for defensive additions, the Ravens signed former Cincinnati Bengals defensive end and four-time Pro Bowler Trey Hendrickson to a four-year, $112 million deal after a blockbuster trade for Las Vegas Raiders star defensive end Maxx Crosby fell through due to long-term medical concerns. Baltimore also signed former New England Patriots defensive back Jaylinn Hawkins (two-year, $10 million deal), among other moves. As for Jackson, the two-time NFL MVP is coming off a 2025 campaign that was sidetracked by hamstring and back injuries, respectively. Across 13 games, Jackson totaled 2,549 passing yards, 21 passing touchdowns, seven interceptions and a 103.8 passer rating, while completing 63.6% of his passes. He also rushed for 349 yards and two touchdowns. Baltimore missed the playoffs at 8-9.​Responding to a user on X, Ravens QB Lamar Jackson expressed that he “definitely” wants Jadeveon Clowney back in Baltimore.
