Jadeveon Clowney is expected to land with the Tennessee Titans, Dianna Russini of ESPN reports:
Jadeveon Clowney is expected to sign with the Tennessee Titans sources tell ESPN. He rejoins Mike Vrabel who was on the Texans defensive staff for Clowney’s first 3 years in the league in Houston. The Saints, the other main suitor, made a very strong case. This was a close one.

Nashville radio personality Brent Dougherty hinted that this was coming last night:
I’m hearing that Clowney will be a Titan as early as this evening. #Titans #ClowneyWatch

It’ll be interesting to see how much Clowney got paid by Tennessee when the contract details trickle out.
Last year, Clowney started 11 games for the Seahawks and played in two more. He had three sacks after having 9 in 2018 and 9.5 in 2017 for the Houston Texans.
The Titans are, from my observation, not getting enough respect for a team that made it to the AFC championship game last season. The team went 7-3 in games started by Ryan Tannehill before winning two playoff games, including hammering the final nail in the Tom Brady Patriots dynasty.
Update: Hmm, not so fast?
Jadeveon Clowney just told me he still has not made a decision. Teams are still calling.

Hope he gets $160 million or so, since that’s the new cool amount of cash 💷 and it grows on trees 🌳
The guy Texans received for him, Jacob Martin, had more sacks than Clooney. Guy has made millions on one big play against Michigan in a bowl game. Good luck whoever signs him
His previous knee microfracture surgery likely played into the inability to secure a long term big money deal. Vrabel was with him in Houston and they have history.
