Pros and cons of a Clowney reunion for Titans.

Jadeveon Clowney‘s arrival in Tennessee last offseason sent a shock of excitement throughout the Titans fanbase, as Jon Robinson succeeded in landing a high-profile free agent at a clear position of need.

However, Clowney’s 2020 campaign was a bit of a disappointment, as a knee injury shut him down for the final 9 games of the team’s season and he failed to make a consistent impact in games prior to his injury. Now a free agent, the Titans will have to decide whether or not to pursue Clowney again this offseason.

Vince Tacchi and Will Lomas give their side of the Clowney story, explaining why it does and does not make sense to bring the playmaker back to Nashville.

And once again yes, bringing back a largely unproductive player after his season got cut short due to injury doesn’t sound like the most sensible thing to do.

But considering the current landscape of this defense, and how it hamstrung the team as a whole, Clowney suddenly begins looking a bit more attractive. And here’s why:
