The Tennessee Titans and Ryan Tannehill have agreed to a contract extension that will pay the signal-caller quite a hefty sum of money.

According to ESPN’s Jeff Darlington, Tannehill’s deal is for four years and is worth $118 million, with $62 million guaranteed.

Ryan Tannehill has agreed to terms on a new four-year contract with the Titans, per source. Here’s the numbers:

$118m total
$29.5m average per year
$62m full guarantee
$91m total guarantee

BIG deal for Tannehill!

Here are a few more details of the deal.

Here’s more numbers on Ryan Tannehill’s deal, per source:

2020 is $17.5m fully guaranteed.

2021 is $24.5m fully guaranteed.

2022 is $29m guaranteed for injury at signing and fully guaranteed on 5th day of 2021 league year.

This is HUGE money for the 31-year-old quarterback, but this is kind of the going rate for some of the better signal-callers on the open market these days.

This deal will undoubtedly have its critics, as Tannehill is garnering this kind of payday after just 10 games with the team.

However, those 10 games were extraordinary, as Tannehill played like one of the best quarterbacks in the entire league last season.

Not only did he finish first in yards per attempt and passer rating, as well totaling the third-best completion percentage in the NFL, he also won Comeback Player of the Year.

His sensational season took the Titans from a 2-4 start to a playoff berth, all the while leading the offense to produce at levels this franchise has rarely ever seen.

As a result, Tannehill got paid and is now officially the franchise quarterback of the Tennessee Titans.
