Titans Vic Beasley is a no-show at training camp faces fine for not reporting even if he decides to opt out

This isn't what the envisioned when they signed this offseason. The veteran pa s rusher joined the club on a one-year deal in March designed to e sentially be a prove-it Isaiah Simmons Jersey contract, but still comes equipped with a $9.5 million cap hit. The financial commitment hints strongly at head coach Mike Vrabel's plan, which is for Beasley to be a major part of the defensive plan in 2020, but the 28-year-old is currently nowhere to be found as training camp starts up in Nashville. Veterans began reporting for testing on July 28 and Beasley was a no show, forcing the team to place him on the Did Not Report/Reserve list.He was again absent on Day 2, and reportedly had not communicated with the Titans the reason(s) for not being present, be it a po sible COVID-19 opt-out or otherwise.As it stands, because of both his absence and no explanation as to why, the Titans could reportedly begin fining Beasley for each day he hasn't and does not report, as part of the new COVID-19 protocol agreement between the NFLPA and the league; per . To date, Beasley has not joined the list of Robert Alford Jersey players who've notified their respective team of an opt out and now, even if he does, he's subject to a fine for the days he mi sed before he made his intentions clear. Either way, his engagement to the Titans is already rocky, following a divorce from the that was also.On Thusday, Titans general manager Jon Robinson weighed in on the matter."On Tuesday July 28th, we placed Vic Beasley on the Reserve Did Not Report list," . "I have been in contact with Vic. He is not here and he understands his absence is unexcused. He told me he will be reporting to camp in the near future. Our current focus is on the players that are here now, getting everyone acclimated to the protocols, our building, and our football program."We will have the Larry Fitzgerald Jersey same acclimation proce s with Vic when he reports."A former first-round pick of the Falcons in 2015, Beasley went on to become a premier pa s rusher in Year 2 when he delivered a career-best 15.5 sacks on the season, along with six forced fumbles. His numbers rapidly declined from there but he'd average six sacks over the next three campaigns, including having seen the Falcons exercise his fifth-year option for 2019, but a long-term deal between the two wasn't in the cards. The Falcons announced they would not Rodney Hudson Jersey re-sign Beasley, thrusting him into free agency where he'd draw the interest, and commitment, of the Titans."I'm not going to comment on what was done or what wasn't done in Atlanta," Vrabel said in April of Beasley, . "Our job is to have the vision for the player and coach him and hold him to a standard that's expected of our players. That's what I'll do, that's what outside linebackers coach Shane Bowen will do, that's what defensive a sistant Matt Edwards will do."There will be a lot of people involved in helping him continue to develop and try to find a role for us and ultimately help us win."Vrabel, although exhausted with having to field continued questions about the team's interest in , noted in June that a po sible addition of Clowney would only make the defense ."You've got Harold) Landry, you've got Vic Beasley, you've got Clowney -- hypothetically -- you've got, you've got DaQuan Jones , who's got some power rush," Robinson pointed out. "You've got Kamalei Correa, who goes 100 miles an hour. You've got a lot of different pieces Kurt Warner Jersey that you can move around. And you've got athleticism with Landry, with Beasley, with Correa -- you can drop those guys into coverage and send,,or whoever it might be."It just gives you a lot of che s pieces in that game."As he and the Titans now work to figure out if they'll have Beasley on the field in 2020, the interest in Clowney might now kick into high gear.
