After the previous season saw the Kansas City Chiefs win the Super Bowl, teams across the NFL are racing to sign backup quarterbacks to bolster their roster, like the New York Jets and New England Patriots. Among the options these franchises should be looking at is Tennessee Titans star Ryan Tannehill.
Just last season, the Titans failed to make the playoffs after finishing the regular season with a 6-11 record. This placed them squarely in the AFC South division’s fourth place.
During that period, Tannehill has shown inconsistency on the field, especially during clutch moments that could have won Tennessee a couple of games. At some point during the start of the season, the Titans star only completed less than 50 percent of his passes, threw three interceptions, and didn’t find the endzone a single time as a starter.
This kind of performance may seem absurd for a player signed to a $118 million contract by Tennessee a couple of years ago. As it stands, Tannehill’s talents may better serve another team in the coming season.
New York Jets, New England Patriots Projected to be Best Landing Spots for Tennessee Titans’ Ryan Tannehill
Since his showing as the Titans’ starting quarterback didn’t go well, there’s a case for him to be signed by a new team in free agency. Cody Benjamin explains more in his article for CBS:
“Once the darling face of the scrappy Tennessee Titans, Tannehill has managed just 20 ugly starts since 2022, battling injuries and turnover sprees behind a crumbling O-line. Before that, he resembled prime Jimmy Garoppolo with the San Francisco 49ers: solid enough as a play-action game manager to lead playoff runs, but more dependent on his supporting cast than most. A few clubs could still try to squeeze what QB1 potential he has left, but he’s probably best suited as a high-level fallback plan.
Projected AAV: $5M-$15M | Best team fits: Jets, Patriots, Steelers, Vikings,” Benjamin wrote.
Along with the Jets and Patriots, the Minnesota Vikings could come in to get Tannehill as an insurance policy at the quarterback position. In any case, these three teams can make better use of him once the next season starts.
