3. Jadeveon Clowney, EDGE

Clowney is getting a little long in the tooth in the NFL as a 31-year-old entering his 11th season in the league, but he could still have a lot to offer.

He’s bounced around a lot lately as he’s now on his fifth different team over the past six years, but he hasn’t fallen off as a dangerous pass rusher.

He has two seasons of 9+ sacks over the past three years (9.5 last year in Baltimore) and has forced at least one fumble for nine straight seasons.

He’s also been decent in pass coverage, recording multiple pass breakups in five straight seasons.

Considering that Carolina was dead-last in the NFL in sacks per game last season (1.6), it’s in desperate need of another sack-filled season from Clowney.

If he can deliver, the Panthers might be inclined to extend him past 2025.
