The Carolina Panthers are weighing the future of Jadeveon Clowney, a three-time Pro Bowl selection, as they prepare for the upcoming 2025 NFL draft. Following the acquisition of two SEC edge rushers, the team has not committed to Clowney's role moving forward. General Manager Dan Morgan has stated that discussions concerning the roster are ongoing, particularly concerning Clowney's hefty $13.775 million cap hit in the final year of his contract.

Clowney's performance dipped last season, recording only 5.5 sacks, and with the addition of fresh talent in the draft, the Panthers may explore trade options. The team currently features six edge rushers, including Clowney and D.J. Wonnum as returning starters, but the landscape could shift significantly as they reassess their strategy post-draft.
