Quarterback Ryan Tannehill has switched representation from Pat Dye Jr. to CAA’s Brian Ayrault and Todd France before he hits free agency.
What could this mean for the Tennessee Titans, who Tannehill said he wanted to remain with?
The team has been in contract discussions with Tannehill for some time, so the timing of his switch between agents in interesting.
The Titans are internally discussing a new contract for Ryan Tannehill after the season per source. Not franchise tag, a new deal to be the future starting QB of Tennessee. #titans

All of the details of those talks are probably off the table at the this point between Dye and the Titans, and CAA may have other expectations for the type of money Tannehill deserves and what he should do moving forward.

It’s also worth noting that the same agency represents running back Derrick Henry and general manager Jon Robinson, which could make for some interesting conversations.
Tannehill’s decision to jump from Dye to CAA could mean a lot, very little ot absolutely nothing at all as the Titans try to keep him in Nashville after he recorded the best season of his career.
If for whatever reason Tannehill heads elsewhere in 2020, the Titans have a free agency filled with names like Drew Brees, Dak Prescott and Tom Brady to look at, as well as a talented 2020 draft class at quarterback.
The “legal tampering” period opens on March 16, so the Titans have until then to finalize a deal with Tannehill.
