The Texans inked free agent pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney for a second go-round with the team in 2026 \u2014\u00a0and Clowney spoke to the Houston media on Tuesday. <\/p>\n<p>During his press conference, he was asked about how his first run with the team ended. Clowney, of course, was the no. 1 overall pick in the 2014 NFL draft and played five years with the Texans before being hit with the franchise tag and traded to Seattle in 2019. And the blame he carries for how things ended the first time doesn\u2019t like with the city, the franchise, or the fans. Instead, he dealt a blow that will likely endear him with many as he gets back into the fray. <\/p>\n<p>Houston Texans pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney just spoke for the entire fanbase regarding former head coach Bill O\u2019Brien<\/p>\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">\u201cI don\u2019t have no hard feelings, it was really just (Former Houston Texans HC Bill) O\u2019Brien, said Texans DE Jadeveon Clowney when asked if he had any bitterness towards the organization after being traded. <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Texans?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Texans<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/hashtag\/Sarge?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">#Sarge<\/a> <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/lt5mnimVL8\" rel=\"nofollow\">pic.twitter.com\/lt5mnimVL8<\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u2014 BIG SARGE MEDIA LLC (@BigSargeSportz) <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/BigSargeSportz\/status\/2084678134977249293?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" rel=\"nofollow\">August 4, 2026<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cI don\u2019t have no hard feelings, it was really just (Bill) O\u2019Brien.

Especially when I\u2019m 21 years old, 22 years old. I was just taking people\u2019s advice instead of really looking in the mirror and trying to figure myself out.\u201d <\/p>\n<p>\u2014\u00a0Houston Texans pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney on if he\u2019s got hard feelings from his first time in Houston<\/p>\n<p>Does anyone from Houston have fond memories of the O\u2019Brien era with the Houston Texans? The Texans were steadily average, found lightning in a bottle with the young version of Deshaun Watson, and then O\u2019Brien stripped down the roster amid a bid for unquestioned control. O\u2019Brien bumped heads with with a lot of folks \u2014\u00a0not just Clowney. So from that perspective, Jadeveon has the perfect explanation for what went awry last time around. It wasn\u2019t a Houston problem. It was a Bill problem. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/atozsports.com\/games\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"100\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/daily-games-houston-texans-1.png\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"Play A to Z Daily Games\"  \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\t\t\t<img decoding=\"async\" width=\"2560\" height=\"1707\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/2025-12-25T175916Z_1528945610_MT1USATODAY27884461_RTRMADP_3_NFL-DALLAS-COWBOYS-AT-WASHINGTON-COMMAND.jpeg\" class=\"attachment-768 size-768\" alt=\"Dec 25, 2025; Landover, Maryland, USA; Dallas Cowboys defensive end Jadeveon Clowney (42) runs onto the field prior to the game against the Washington Commanders at Northwest Stadium.\" loading=\"lazy\"  style=\"object-position:35% 40%\" \/>\t\t<\/p>\n<p class=\"query-card__category is-style-eyebrow\">Green Bay Packers News<\/p>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Returning pass rusher Jadeveon Clowney offers a hilarious recollection of how his first run with the Houston Texans&hellip;\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":964744,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2056],"tags":[7,221,253,3116,2368,6,222,26087,29423],"class_list":["post-964743","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-houston-texans","tag-football","tag-houston","tag-houston-texans","tag-houston-texans-news","tag-houstontexans","tag-nfl","tag-texans","tag-texans-news","tag-wildcat"],"share_on_mastodon":{"url":"https:\/\/channels.im\/@nfl\/117041922630582334","error":""},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964743","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=964743"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/964743\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/964744"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=964743"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=964743"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.rawchili.com\/nfl\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=964743"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
