Former No. 1 overall draft pick Jadeveon Clowney is reportedly expected to draw trade interest ahead of the Nov. 5 deadline.

Clowney has missed the Carolina Panthers’ Weeks 6 and 7 games due to a shoulder injury he sustained in the team’s Week 5 loss at the Bears. Despite his limited availability in recent weeks, The Athletic’s Dianna Russini reported on Saturday that Clowney is expected to draw trade interest.

Clowney is on a two-year, $20M contract with Carolina. He signed with the Panthers in March and was coming off a season where he had 9.5 sacks for the Baltimore Ravens.

Clowney, who was taken No. 1 overall by the Houston Texans in 2014, has 12 tackles this season and one sack. Carolina is 1-6, so it would make sense for it to try trading a player who might fetch a return or to at least get his contract off their books.
