Titans ink QB Ryan Tannehill to massive four-year extension

So much for those Tom Brady rumours.

The Tennessee Titans, who are fresh off their deepest playoff run since 1999, have rewarded the starting quarterback that made it possible with a big, fat promotion.

The team announced that they have signed the veteran QB to a four-year, $118 million contract extension.

“I do know I love the organization, I love the team, I love the guys on the team, and I love the tone coach Vrabel sets, and the vision that he has,” Tannehill said while at the Pro Bowl earlier this year.

“I feel like we’re headed in the right direction.”

The 31-year old, who was the recipient of the 2019 Comeback Player of the Year, was initially acquired in a trade with the Dolphins back in March 2019.

He had worn out his welcome in Miami, and opened the 2019 season as the Titans’ backup. But thanks to a continued lack of success by Marcus Mariota, he was eventually promoted to starter and immediately thrived. In 12 games and 10 starts, Tannehill posted an unreal league-leading 117.5 QB rating, to go a long with a 70.3 pass completion percentage, 201 pass completions, 2742 passing yards, 26 touchdowns and just six interceptions.

The team posted a 7-3 record with him at the helm, and managed to squeak into a playoff spot. While in the postseason, they shocked both of the New England Patriots and Baltimore Ravens on their way to the AFC championship: which ended in a 35-24 loss to the eventual NFL champion Kansas City Chiefs.
