Tennessee Titans close to extending Ryan Tannehill

One team out of the Brady picture.

4 yrs/$118M.

Gonna be a boat load of moves

They have to scramble to extend him so they can tag henry

[lewdog]

That’s just perfect.

[Hoover]

Remember Jacksonville giving Bortles a second contract after their amazing 13-3 season?

It’s a curse! Glad we have been vaccinated

[Red Dawg]

Bad decision.

The AFC, AKA...The Chiefs playground

Didn’t they only go 10-6 that year? It’s funny how they were looked at as this looming power despite very little overall sustained success in that era.

[kcclone]

The truth is there aren’t that many great QB’s out there for the taking so guys like Tannehill get big contracts.

Unless you draft a QB that’s the type of guy you can expect to sign in FA, so you may as well hang onto them.

[MahiMike]

This was the right move for both player and team.

[RINGLEADER]

This was the right move for both player and team.

Probably but also probably not going to ever get them closer than they got last season.

As Chiefs' fans we've seen this movie before. In fact we watched every sequel to this move. It's freaky living down here in the Nashville area watching the Tits morph into the 90's Chiefs, strong run game, solid defense, and a QB that's just good enough to not lose every game.

What were their options?

Not every team can be blessed with a Mahomes. You have to have maintain a certain level of success even if you know it’s not the top level. The Chiefs did a similar thing with Alex Smith.

[Red Dawg]

Titans are stupid. Hes a regular joe but every team is scared of starting over at QB. They have decided to suck at QB rather than try to get better.

For Tannehill? LMAO

Let’s be realistic. Going 10-6 or 11-5 every year and making the playoffs is better for your bottom line than losing 10-11 games each year.

That's fairly cheap if you believe the QB market is heading for $40M per year pretty soon.

Tannehill gets $91 million guaranteed to hand off to Henry 91% of the time.

[Deberg_1990]

If Tannehill is worth 91 million guaranteed , then how much is Mahomes worth? 200 million garaunteed?

Pretty much !!ROFLROFL

[FD]

RIP Titans, 1997-2020.

This contract will ruin them.

[Chiefspants]

We all saw what happened to Goff when Gurley got diagnosed with Arthritis.

It’ll be interesting to see if Tannehill can carry his team with or without Henry.

[Red Dawg]

Tanny carry a team? Never. When we shut down Henry the game was over.

[pugsnotdrugs19]

I get the discomfort of paying him that much but I think the alternative has to be brought into question. What was it?

If they’re keeping Henry and planning to run their offense through him, it’s a short window anyways. May as well keep the QB that you know can excel in that system.

Point being, I’m not sure any other option gives them a better chance in the next 2 seasons to win.

[Mennonite]

mystery solved: the Titan's owners must have been the ones hoarding all the t.p. for the last couple of weeks in preparation of signing this p.o.s.

[Easy 6]

Tanny carry a team? Never. When we shut down Henry the game was over.

True, he’s just not that guy... but they’re not asking him to do that, and not many teams can shut Henry down

The money is definitely absurd, but he took them pretty deep in the playoffs in his first partial year ... that’s about as good as it can get for them right now

[RINGLEADER]

Nuts

[dirk digler]

LMAO what a fucking stupid decision.

[Easy 6]

While we’re on the Titans, what’s going on with Mariota?

If there’s been news about interest in him, I sure haven’t seen it...

[Hammock Parties]

Brady will return to NE to get buttfucked in the Chiefs opener.

It’s down to the Pats and Bucs.

Raiders sounds highly possible.

[staylor26]

Honestly, I can really see him going to the Bucs because it doesn’t sound like the Pats badly want him back while the Bucs are reportedly ready to do whatever it takes and already have the weapons to make him happy.

[Setsuna]

I mean they held onto Mariota for an exorbitant amount of time. Did you expect anything more from this garbage team that the Jags can't even beat? Come on now.

[siberian khatru]

Heard this on the radio this morning and thought, “Those poor bastards. I know exactly where they’re coming from.” Trapped between “You could do worse” and “You need to do better.”

[pugsnotdrugs19]

They certainly could do better but many teams feel that way. My view is that Tennessee Ryan Tannehill and Miami Tannehill are not the same. His scheme fit is so much better now.

They went 9-4 with him and won 2 huge playoff games, they had a real shot against KC. With Henry and their OL running the show, they just need a tough, accurate passer who has enough athletic ability to get out of a bind whenever there’s a leak in their PA pass protections. Tannehill checks the boxes.

[tk13]

I think they can win games with him... but he really needed the playaction off of Henry to be successful. He was legit great when they got their running game going and he could throw deep bombs off of it. If you stop Henry though, he's gonna have a hard time.

[Red Dawg]

Winning the SB with Tanny would be like Dilfer or Mannings last one. The team must win without him helping much.

[Gravedigger]

Sad really, if you think Ryan Tannehill is worth almost $30 million per year for four years... all Ryan Tannehill needs is one under-performing/injury year to make that contract a mistake, hopefully they'll make the playoffs next year or it'll start quickly and people will be calling for some heads to roll in that town because they over-performed this year to give them false hope.

[Pablo]

Went over and gave my neighbor $100 for all of the dogshit in his backyard. Still a better deal than what the Titans just got in Tanny.

[srvy]

Wow, Tannehill did good. Honestly why not let him walk play Mariota and draft his replacement. I just don't think there is much difference between the two.

[Hog's Gone Fishin]

[Deberg_1990]

Um no. They benched Mariota because they weren’t winning. They won with Tannehill.

Hes no world beater but he fits their system.

[crayzkirk]

It's interesting to me to watch other teams do the same thing that the Chiefs have done since well, forever. Maybe these teams know something that I don't; that they can take the trash of another team and turn it into treasure. It might work out well this year for them; they have a 2nd place schedule.

I don't really care; it's not my money. Now, the 17 game season and 7 game playoffs just sounds dumb.

[BWillie]

Alot smarter than signing Tom Brady, who I believe is not even a Top 25 QB anymore but it's also not a good idea to strap yourself to an avg QB for 29M a year. Draft another one until you succeed.

[Buehler445]

Tannehill is better than Casshole

[RealSNR]

Wow, Tannehill did good. Honestly why not let him walk play Mariota and draft his replacement. I just don't think there is much difference between the two.

If Tannehill was Alex Smith, Mariota was playing like Cassel in this past year. He was pretty bad.

[Pitt Gorilla]

I think it makes sense. Certainly better than Brady.

[KC_Lee]

Wow, Tannehill did good. Honestly why not let him walk play Mariota and draft his replacement. I just don't think there is much difference between the two.

Because Mariota's ceiling is Alex Smith under Andy Reid's coaching. Mariota is so afraid of making a mistake that he became ineffective as an NFL QB.

[sedated]

If you already have a team built then it makes sense to keep your slightly above average QB. Drafting a QB now, assuming they keep Henry while in his prime, would waste him. It was either this or tear it all down and start over.

[Halfcan]

I am glad the Titans are burning all their cap money on a retread QB. This should keep them at 8-8 Wildcard status for the next five years.
