It’s no secret the Tennessee Titans have gotten some solid play from linebacker Jayon Brown, who enters a contract year in 2020.
Over three seasons with the Titans, Brown has recorded 227 total tackles, (144 solo, 12 for loss) 8.5 sacks, 18 passes defensed, two interceptions and one touchdown.
Last season, Brown registered 93 total tackles (57 solo, three for loss) one sack, eight passes defensed and one interception in 14 games.
And all that production has come on a meager rookie contract of $2.6 million over four years. We’ve seen players across the NFL making more than that who haven’t even begun to touch the linebacker’s level of performance.
But Brown isn’t focused on the money and is instead keeping his eyes on an upcoming season where the Titans have lofty expectations.
So, how much does Brown deserve to make when 2021 comes around?
He’s likely in for another strong season considering that his numbers have only gone up by the year, which will put him in a great position to land a lucrative, long-term deal.
Whether or not he gets a contract extension from the Titans before the start of the 2020 season remains to be seen, however the Titans would be better off locking him up sooner rather than later in order to avoid him hitting the open market in 2021.
