Titans Could Use Franchise Tag On Ryan Tannehill
5 years agoTennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill has put himself in position for a possible franchise tag in 2020, according to sources with knowledge of the situation. Tannehill has been excellent under center since replacing Marcus Mariota, leading the team to a 4-1 record and putting them in a position to win their division. Tennessee is averaging 50 more passing yards per game and 44 more rushing yards since Tannehill took over. He's making a base salary of $7 million this year, but neither sides have discussed a new contract yet. The franchise tag for QBs projects to be just under $27 million next year. While Tannehill has been solid for the Titans since replacing Mariota, he's still more of a QB2 in fantasy on a run-first squad.
