The Tennessee Titans have reportedly agreed to a contract extension with their quarterback, Ryan Tannehill.
According to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network, the two sides have agreed to terms on a deal.
Sources: The #Titans and QB Ryan Tannehill have agreed to terms on an extension. He’s staying in Tennessee. Their priority all along.

The writing was on the wall that this was coming soon, as ESPN’s Dianna Russini reported earlier in the day that the team was interested in signing Tannehill instead of trying to land Tom Brady.
And so ends the debate that we’ve had all offseason long; Tannehill is the Titans’ guy.
This move just made too much sense. Tannehill had a career year in 2019 and took Tennessee’s offense to new heights it hadn’t reached in quite some time, if ever.
After starting out 2-4, the Titans replaced Marcus Mariota with Tannehill, who helped the team reel off seven wins in its final 10 games en route to a 9-7 finish and a playoff berth.
Tannehill finished first in passer rating and yards per attempt, and third in completion percentage. His outstanding performance rightfully garnered him Comeback Player of the Year honors and a trip to the Pro Bowl.
