While some reports have connected Jadeveon Clowney to the Titans, the free agent edge rusher says that he has “still not made a decision,” (Twitter link via ESPN.com’s Josina Anderson). Clowney says “teams are still calling,” making it clear that he’s still weighing opportunities from multiple teams. 
The Saints and Titans have emerged as the frontrunners for the former No. 1 overall pick, but the Ravens and incumbent Seahawks are said to still be lurking. For months, the Titans have stood as one of Clowney’s most logical landing spots. With a clear need at DE, old pal Mike Vrabel patrolling the sidelines, and more cap flexibility than most clubs, the Titans make tons of sense. Still, they’re far from the only contender who could use more pressure against the pass.
Interestingly, Clowney has canned agent Bus Cook, just as he did over Labor Day Weekend 2019. Eventually, they worked out their differences and went back into business together. It remains to be seen whether another reunion will take place or if this will signal a return tour in Seattle.
Clowney’s sliding asking price has been well documented at this point. After asking for ~$20MM/year in March, Clowney has reportedly scaled things back to the $17MM/year neighborhood. The Browns tried to sign him for $15MM earlier this year, but the 27-year-old quickly rejected the offer.
Wasn’t there an article just yesterday or today saying he likely would wait till Monday to sign? These updates are getting obsessive
Just text me when something’s official dam
Seattle needs to resign him.
ESPN is reporting that he is signing with the Titans
Zach needed to post an article, so just reposts what everybody already knows. Way to work it Zach!! Another top notch effort!!
Sad thing is that we were getting updates every 5min. Now that ESPN has reported that he will sign with the titans… crickets
All the teams should get together and tell Clowney he has until midnight to make a decision or they will all back out.
It’s supposedly a $12M deal, which could end up being a bargain for the Titans if he performs well with an already dangerous defense. Adding another decent pass rusher who’s an outstanding run defender could make them one of the best units in the league.
Does anyone remember a baseball player named
Juan Gonzalez? He got greedy and turned down an offer of around 167MM. Got hurt and never made up for the money he turned down. Clowney got a bit too greedy I think.
