kyle021 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 I don’t understand why Clowney can’t have a physical done in whatever City he is in right now, funded by the Titans with the Titans team doctor on Skype and able to access and view the imaging from PACS himself? like it doesn’t seem like it should be this hard. Scans can be uploaded into the PACS system and able to be viewed by other physicians and radiologists with Clowneys approval. Link to post Share on other sites

The team doctors can't examine him and if you're paying that much for a player you want to be certain. Clowney can go to an independent physician. And if they find something, the Titans doctor can't examine him so they are stuck with the opinion of that other physician. This scenario happened with Brockers and the Ravens and caused them to walk away and Brockers re-signed with the Rams. Link to post Share on other sites
kyle021 Posted March 28, 2020 Report Share Posted March 28, 2020 Also, Dennard while he isn’t a big upgrade over Sims, is still an upgrade to Sims, and we should take a look into him and bring him on with a one year deal in the range or market of about 5 mil. I’m still butt hurt about Alexander signing with the Bengals on a bargain deal. He is an ascending NB and the bengals signed him to very modest deal. the lack of a CB signing makes me think the Titans are letting Ryan test the market and likely have a deal on the table for him to circle back to and sign in the event he doesn’t find what he is wanting. I would offer him a 1 year deal that would allow him to test the market next year while staying with us and chasing a title. also surprised NE hasn’t offered him a deal to go back there. Delanie Walker isn’t going to sign anywhere until after the draft. He is the player the teams are worried about bc of his injuries and will want a hands on physical. Link to post Share on other sites

I get that, but what I don’t get is why Clowney can’t be evaluated by an independent doctor while our doctor is able to order the appropriate scans and images that can be done wherever Clowney is at, and our doc can then view them himself... I know he had core muscle surgery done, but it’s not like we can’t evaluate him from the outside and order the tests that we would if he was in the doctors presence. Link to post Share on other sites

I don't think they can order those tests. I think they can evaluate the results. I'm not sure though, could be wrong. Link to post Share on other sites

The exams would have to be ordered in name by the doc examining Clowney physically, but it would be at the expense of the Titans and the team doc through a consult. Link to post Share on other sites

Not easy to find independent doctors willing to give NFL players complete physicals now. No1TitansFan 1 Link to post Share on other sites

I wish we would just man up and offer him a fat 2 year deal. We have a SB window right now. If he busts because of injury and circumstance then so be it. I know that’s easy to say because it isn’t my money, but if I was the GM and I was a couple mil a year difference I would pull the trigger and hope to compete for a championship the next two years.

Exactly. If Seattle still has a deal on the table then they can’t be that bad I would imagine. Did it ever come out if Seattle got a chance to evaluate him after his surgery?

There are a few other players left worth signing, but no one who can have the impact Clowney can. In my opinion, just sit on the money you need for Clowney and wait. If they don’t end up getting him, save it for the guys who they need to extend anyway. Link to post Share on other sites
