- Panthers OLB Jadeveon Clowney: ‘I don’t plan on coming here and just losing’
Despite what his general manager said at the lectern right before him, Carolina Panthers outside linebacker Jadeveon Clowney doesn't expect to lose in 2024.
The 11th-year veteran spoke with reporters this afternoon, shortly after Dan Morgan stated that he wasn't going to place any expectations on a playoff run this upcoming season. Clowney seemed to disagree.

"I can just say this—I've been on six teams and I've never been a loser, really," he replied. "And I never went nowhere and lost and I don't plan on coming here and just losing. I've told them guys this is my sixth team and I know what it look like, I know what it take to win. So it's coming together every day in practice. We all here for a reason, we're all professionals. And we all got what it takes to win in this organization."
This organization has had a rough go at trying to win, as they've missed the playoffs in each of the past six seasons. They hit rock bottom in 2023, piecing together an NFL-worst 2-15 record.
But the former No. 1 overall pick, three-time Pro Bowler and Rock Hill, S.C. native feels like his homecoming will be a triumphant one.
"I think that's what it's gonna come down to—everybody bonding and hearing it from guys that's been from other teams telling them we got what it takes, and show up every day and come to work," Clowney added. "Let the chips fall where they may, but like I said—I've seen what it looks like. We got the tools, we just gotta prepare like it."
