Titans GM: Jadeveon Clowney, Logan Ryan Interest TEN in Free Agency

The Tennessee Titans "have touched base" with representatives for former Seattle Seahawks pass-rusher Jadeveon Clowney and former Titans cornerback Logan Ryan, general manager Jon Robinson told reporters in a Wednesday conference call.

Both players are free agents.

Clowney was drafted No. 1 overall by the Houston Texans in 2014. He played in Houston through 2018 before he was traded to the Seahawks ahead of last season. The 27-year-old recorded three sacks, four forced fumbles, one interception—his first career pick—and 31 tackles (21 solo) across 13 games (11 starts).

Ryan has been with Tennessee since 2017. The 29-year-old began his NFL career as a third-round draft pick of the New England Patriots in 2013. He played for the Pats through 2016, winning two Super Bowls, before departing for the Titans on a three-year deal.

Robinson said there is "nothing imminent" in the works with Ryan.

When the Titans signed Ryan, Robinson cited his past as Patriots director of college scouting.

"With Logan, obviously I have a history with him there in my time in New England," Robinson said. "He's a really smart football player, played a lot of different roles for the Patriots. He played outside corner, played inside corner. He's an aggressive tackler, good run-support player. He's a savvy coverage player, has a knack at the top of the route, end of the route."

The Rutgers product remained top-tier in Tennessee—appearing in 45 of 48 regular-season games (all starts). Ryan recorded four interceptions in 2019—tied for his second-most in a season behind his five picks as a rookie—alongside career highs of 18 passes defended and 113 tackles (73 solo).

Ryan is perhaps most known recently for turning Tom Brady's final pass as a Patriot into a pick-six in last season's Wild Card Round:

Ryan is the top available free-agent corner, according to Pro Football Focus:

As for Clowney, ESPN's Dianna Russini listed the Titans and Seahawks as "interested" suitors and noted the three-time Pro Bowler's asking price has come down:

Robinson said the Titans "are working through some things" when it comes to Clowney.

Tennessee already signed pass-rusher Vic Beasley to a one-year deal.

The Titans ranked 21st in total defense, 12th in run defense and 24th in pass defense during the regular season before making an impressive postseason run to the AFC Championship Game.
