Talk about a piece of breaking news on a Saturday evening.
ESPN’s Dianna Russini has reported that Jadeveon Clowney is expected to sign with the Tennessee Titans, ending a 6 month wait on the market, and finally giving the Titans an amount of talent their pass rush hasn’t had in a while.
There’s no concrete details regarding the salary for Clowney right now, but we’ll get them as this situation develops.
Either way, this is a massive get for Jon Robinson and the Tennessee Titans. Earlier today, the team was facing a crisis at OLB, having only 4 at the position after cut day.
But with a little magic sprinkled in, and the snap of a finger, the OLB crisis is over, and this Titans defense has another highly talented disruptive presence on their defensive line.
Clowney doesn’t bring a lot of overwhelming talent as a pass rusher, but he’s elite at defending the run, and his athleticism makes up for his lack of elite skill as a pass rusher.
Clowney now reunites with his old coach in Mike Vrabel, who had a big part in Clowney’s 9.5 sack season in 2017, which remains his career high to this day.
