Full details of Jadeveon Clowney contract with Titans
Even after all the waiting the Tennessee Titans did for Jadeveon Clowney, it still took a last-minute increase in their offer to finally secure what was a vital offseason acquisition.
According to NFL Network’s Ian Rapoport, the Titans had to up their offer to Clowney on Saturday night from a base value of $12 to $13 million in order to seal the deal. Rapoport had previously reported that Clowney’s one-year contract was for “more than” $12 million, so this is a more definitive figure.
Tom Pelissero of NFL Network shared the full breakdown of Clowney’s deal, which has a max value of $15 million, with $2 million in incentives.

Pelissero also added that Clowney had turned down a one-year deal worth a max of $16 million from the Seattle Seahawks back in April.
As we discussed on @nflnetwork today, the #Seahawks offered Clowney 1 year, $15M (max $16M) way back in April. The #Browns made a strong offer months ago, too. In the end, Clowney waits, takes less from Tennessee … and now hopes it pays off next March. https://t.co/k41FSRRou4
