Clowney reunites with Vrabel, agrees with Titans
Jadeveon Clowney agreed to a one-year contract with the Tennessee Titans on Sunday.
Terms were not disclosed, but a source told ESPN’s Adam Schefter that the deal is worth up to $15 million.
The New Orleans Saints, the other main suitor, made a very strong push for the defensive end, but their offer was lower by roughly $2 million, sources told ESPN’s Dianna Russini.
Jadeveon Clowney 5.8% Grady Jarrett 5.7% Luke Kuechly 5.5% Calais Campbell 5.3% — NFL Next Gen Stats While he had only three sacks in 13 regular-season games, Clowney ranked fifth in ESPN’s pass-rush win rate (24.8%), scored two defensive touchdowns and was consistently Seattle’s most disruptive defensive lineman. PRWR measures how frequently a defender beats his blocker in 2.5 seconds or less.
Clowney, 27, suffered a core muscle injury in Week 10 last season and elected to postpone surgery until the offseason. That left him playing in pain for most of the second half of the season. The injury sidelined him for two games; he missed a third game with the flu.
Clowney was named to three consecutive Pro Bowls from 2016 to 2018 with the Texans. Overall, he has 236 tackles, 32 sacks, 9 forced fumbles, 7 recoveries, 51 tackles for loss, an interception and 4 defensive touchdowns since being selected with the first overall pick in the 2014 draft.
ESPN’s Turron Davenport and Brady Henderson contributed to this report.
