OWINGS MILLS, Md. -- The Baltimore Ravens reached a deal with former No. 1 overall pick Jadeveon Clowney on Friday, a source told ESPN's Jeremy Fowler, providing much needed experienced depth at outside linebacker.
A three-time Pro Bowl player, Clowney has 43 career sacks, which are more than what the current Ravens outside linebackers have totaled (28.5).
The Ravens are expected to rely on young edge rushers Odafe Oweh and David Ojabo this season, but they lack proven backups behind them. WIth Tyus Bowser (Non-Football Injury list) taking longer to recover from a knee injury, Baltimore didn't have an outside linebacker in practice who was older than 25.
