_Do the Cowboys still have any interest in Jadaveon Clowney? He had a good_ _season_ _last year, leading the team in sacks. Is it a matter of price or has_ _Dallas_ _simply moved on?_ **– Steve Rivoir, Castle Rock, CO**
**Patrik:** I've had interest, and still do, but I don't make the decisions around here. As the weeks roll along, I think it becomes less and less likely that Clowney returns to the Cowboys, though it wouldn't be because of any sort of dropoff in his abilities. After all, the man led the team in sacks with no offseason program and less than a full season of games played, all while being a locker room leader and loudly professing his love of Dallas and hope for a return in 2026.
But with Christian Parker changing the scheme, the Cowboys might feel as if Clowney might have difficulty with what Parker's scheme would ask of him — hence the re-signing of Sam Williams and the addition of Malachi Lawrence as a first-round pick. They'll also lean heavily on Donovan Ezeiruaku in Year 2, so while I do believe there's a sliver of a chance Clowney and the Cowboys figure something out, I wouldn't bet on it (I mean, if I were allowed to bet at all).
