Since taking over from Marcus Mariota as Tennessee Titans’ starting quarterback in Week 7, Ryan Tannehill has played sensationally. He looked like one of the best QBs in the league and managed to lead the Titans to six wins in seven games and get them close to a playoff spot. All of this will now most likely bring him a contract to remain a starter in Tennessee.

It was previously believed that Titans will use a franchise tag on Tannehill to keep him for one more season, before finding a QB of the future. Now, ESPN’s Dianna Russini reports that Tennessee’s front office is discussing how to make a long-term offer to the 31-year-old and keep him as their franchise quarterback.

Titans initially brought in Ryan Tannehill as security for Mariota, who often struggled with injuries in the past few seasons. However, following 2-4 start of the season, Mariota was benched and Tannehill stepped in to try and save Tennessee’s season. And he did just that.

Since being named a starter, Tannehill has been completing over 70 percent of his passes and managed to throw for 1,849 yards and 15 touchdowns. Thanks to this, Titans also emerged as one of the best offenses in NFL, averaging 369.0 total yards of offense and 29.7 points per game.

At the beginning of 2018, quarterback Ryan Tannehill was the starting quarterback of the Miami Dolphins and had the opportunity to show that he was still a franchise player. After another inconsistent season, however, Tannehill was shipped to Tennessee Titans and now awaits the next NFL season as Marcus Mariota’s backup.

“It’s definitely tough at times,” – Tannehill told reporters when asked about the transition. “But Marcus is great to work with. The staff here, Marcus, the quarterback room is really great, and when you work with good people — great people — and you’re all aligned in this thing together trying to win football games, it definitely helps with that transition. But there are some things that are tough about it, but kinds of goes along with it.”

This will be the first time that Ryan Tannehill is a backup in his NFL career. He was drafted eighth overall by the Dolphins in 2012 and immediately got the starting job. When Tannehill didn’t start in the previous seven years, it was mostly due to injuries.

“When you’re the starter, there are certain things that you’re able to do as far as leading and stuff like that,” – he added. “So, really having to kind of take a step back in a leadership role I would say is the toughest role for me. You work at it for so many years, growing leadership and all that, then having to take a step back and really have a back seat is tough, really tough at times.”

During his time with Miami, Tannehill played a total of 88 games while compiling 42-46 record. He completed 62.8 percent of his passes for 20,434 passing yards and 123 touchdowns.
