The Tennessee Titans made one of the biggest moves of the NFL offseason just a week before play is set to start, adding one of the league’s best defensive ends in Jadeveon Clowney on a one-year deal.
The Titans had been looking for an upgrade on their defensive line as they look to make another deep playoff run in the 2020 season, and the South Carolina native ended up being a perfect fit for Mike Vrabel and his team. They landed on Clowney, signing him to a deal worth $12 million.
Clowney, who made three consecutive Pro Bowls between 2016 and 2018 with the division rival Houston Texans, spent last season playing for the Seattle Seahawks and saw his production decline a bit. The former #1 overall pick recorded only 3 sacks and 31 total tackles in the Pacific Northwest.
The 27-year-old player’s 1-year deal with the Titans will provide him with the perfect opportunity to rebuild his market value while helping out a team that will certainly be glad to have his services in 2020.
It remains to be seen if Clowney will be available for the Titans’ opener next Monday night against the Denver Broncos, but he is expected to join the team in practice this week.
