Titans GM Jon Robinson said Thursday on ESPN’s “NFL Live” that they are still “monitoring the situation” involving free agent DE Jadeveon Clowney, per Joe Nocco.
Robinson added that they “may or may not” have had contact with Clowney’s representation within “the last week.”
The Titans have been linked to Clowney for several months now, but his market has been slowing-moving at best.
Reports recently surfaced that the Raiders have an offer on the table for Clowney. However, it remains to be seen how serious the offer is.
The veteran pass rusher reportedly has the Cowboys or Saints at the top of his personal wish list. However, it’s unclear if either team is interested or able to sign Clowney. He says he plans to sign before the start of the season.
Before that, Mark Berman reported that the Browns, Seahawks, Ravens, Titans, and Eagles are among the teams expressing interest in Clowney.
Clowney was looking for around $20 million per year this offseason, but it seems unlikely he’ll come close to that kind of money at this point in the year.
Clowney, 27, is a former No. 1 overall pick of the Texans back in 2014. He was in the final year of his four-year, $22.272 million contract when the Texans picked up his fifth-year option which paid him $12.306 million for the 2018 season.
Houston franchised Clowney last year before trading him to the Seahawks at the start of the regular season.
In 2019, Clowney appeared in 13 games for the Seahawks and recorded 31 tackles, three sacks, an interception, two defensive touchdowns, four forced fumbles, two recoveries and three pass defenses. Pro Football Focus has him rated as the No. 20 edge rusher out of 108 qualifying players.
