The Texans signed Clowney to a one-year deal Sunday, Aaron Wilson of KPRC 2 Houston reports.
Clowney is set to return to Houston, which selected him first overall in the 2014 Draft. His new deal has a base value of $5.5 million and a maximum value of $8 million. Clowney recorded 8.5 sacks with the Cowboys last season and should serve as the Texans' top rotational pass rusher behind Will Anderson and Danielle Hunter.
