The Tennessee Titans have secured their man. Ryan Tannehill will remain at the helm of the franchise for the foreseeable future. In the process, the franchise elected to forego the possibility of signing free agent QB Tom Brady.
Tannehill was brought to the team in a trade with the Miami Dolphins prior to the beginning of last season. At the time it seemed to be nothing more than an effort to secure a backup behind Marcus Mariota.
The Dolphins sent Tannehill and a sixth-round selection in to the Titans in exchange for a fourth-round selection in this upcoming draft and a seventh-round selection in the 2019 draft.
Ryan Tannehill has agreed to terms on a new four-year contract with the Titans, per source. Here’s the numbers:
$118m total
$29.5m average per year
$62m full guarantee
$91m total guaranteeBIG deal for Tannehill!
