The Tennessee Titans have reportedly signed quarterback Ryan Tannehill to a contract extension ahead of free agency.
Ian Rapoport of NFL Network reported the news, saying it was the Titans' priority all along. Earlier Sunday, Dianna Russini of ESPN reported the Titans were not interested in signing Tom Brady and were prioritizing a deal with Tannehill.
This represents a significant change in circumstances for Tannehill compared to last season, where he became the backup to Marcus Mariota after seven years with the Miami Dolphins.
After Mariota struggled during a 2-4 start to the 2019 season for Tennessee, Tannehill took over and transformed the offense.
