Everything we know about the Tennessee Titans and Jadeveon Clowney

Vic Beasley signed

With Jack Conklin being allowed to leave in free agency, it felt like the Tennessee Titans couldn’t just sit on the money that they had.

Up to to that point, the Titans had cut Cameron Wake, Delanie Walker, Dion Lewis, and Ryan Succop as well, which all boded well for some moves to be made on the open market.

All of the sudden, news comes out that the Tennessee Titans had signed Vic Beasley.

This was incredibly strange since it isn’t the Titans strategy to add boom or bust players like this, instead preferring to spend their money on free agents with a high floor: Rodger Saffold, Adam Humphries, Cameron Wake, Kenny Vaccaro, etc.

Ultimately the news came out that it was a one year deal and not a 4 year/$50 million type deal like everyone was afraid of, which flips the move from a C- to a B+.
