Until now, we’ve only had rumors to go by that the Tennessee Titans have shown interest in Jadeveon Clowney, but general manager Jon Robinson confirmed as much on Wednesday.
During a conference call with the media, Robinson said the team has been in contact with Clowney’s reps.
Robinson said the @Titans have been in contact with the agents for free agents Logan Ryan and Jadeveon Clowney.

Robinson was also paraphrased as saying the Titans are “working through some things” with Clowney.
Robinson said nothing is imminent regarding Logan Ryan and the #Titans are working through some things regarding Jadeveon Clowney.

Robinson also noted how important physicals are and that the health of a player is paramount in making a decision.
#Titans' Robinson: Re Clowney, there's nothing more important than the health of a player. Definitely an important part of the decision.

Does this mean that the Titans will sign Clowney? There’s no telling if that’s the case, but Robinson’s willingness to talk about it is very interesting to say the least.
It’s possible that the “working through some things” line has to do with the team waiting for a physical for Clowney, who underwent core surgery during the offseason after playing through the injury in 2019.
Of course, physicals have been hard to come by because of the coronavirus outbreak.
Tennessee re-signed Kamalei Correa on Wednesday, which led a lot of us to believe the Clowney chase was over, but maybe we shouldn’t jump to conclusions just yet.
