Why Jadeveon Clowney chose to sign a contract with the Titans over the Saints and Seahawks. The Saints were doing everything they could to give Jadeveon Clowney everything he could want. A team with deep playoff aspirations in 2020, New Orleans sent what NFL Media called "an all-out blitz" to try to sign the free-agent pass rusher a few days ahead of Week 1. The Saints' biggest issue, it appears, is they didn't have Mike Vrabel. The Titans did, and they also were able to offer more money on a one-year contract for the 27-year-old. ESPN's Dianna Russini reported Saturday night that Clowney had chosen Tennessee over New Orleans as his landing place for the season. Clowney then told ESPN's Josina Anderson that his decision "came down to familiarity over economics." That familiarity is Clowney's history with Vrabel. Now entering his third season as the Titans' head coach, Vrabel was the Texans' defensive coordinator in 2017 when Clowney had his best statistical NFL season. Vrabel also served as Houston's linebackers coach from 2014, the year Clowney was drafted No. 1 overall, through 2016. The Titans are giving Clowney a one-year deal worth up to $15 million, according to multiple reports. He earned $8 million on a one-year deal with the Seahawks last season after he was traded from Houston to Seattle in September. why jadeveon clowney chose to sign a contract with the titans over the saints and seahawks.
