Quarterback Ryan Tannehill got himself a contract extension from the Tennessee Titans on Saturday — and he’s understandably excited.
Part of the reason is that it’s a huge deal that pays him $118 million over four years ($62 million guaranteed), but he’s also happy because Tennessee was where Tannehill wanted to be all along.
Now that the deal has been announced, Tannehill took to Twitter to give his reaction to the contract extension.
While the Titans will officially be able to “run it back” with Tannehill now that a deal is done, there is still another big deal yet to be done that will keep their fantastic quarterback-running back duo together.
The deal we’re talking about is with Derrick Henry, who has yet to be signed to an extension. Should no deal get done, the Titans must franchise tag Henry by the deadline on Monday or else he’ll hit the open market.
Regardless of how they get it done, there’s no way the Titans let Henry go, so fully expect to see both he and Tannehill in the backfield next season.
