The Tennessee Titans are reportedly still interested in pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney, who has apparently lowered his asking price off the $20-plus million he was originally seeking.
The news comes from ESPN’s Dianna Russini.
During a conference call on Wednesday, Titans general manager Jon Robinson admitted the team had been in contact with Clowney.
He was also paraphrased as saying the team is “working through some things” regarding him, although we can’t exactly be sure what that means.
It’s possible that things are taking so long with Clowney partly because it’s hard to get physicals done at this time because of the coronavirus outbreak. More likely than not, though, teams simply aren’t willing to meet his asking price.
Clowney suffered a core (sports hernia) injury last season that he was forced to play through and then have surgery on during the offseason.
Clearly any team that wants to sign him will be looking to make sure he’s healthy before investing so much money.
Just when we thought the Titans were possibly out of this situation, they pull us back in.
