The NFL's regular season is over, which for most teams, means it's time to start figuring out plans for the offseason.



NFL free agency is a huge part of the process, and along with the NFL Draft, it has everyone preparing for what should be a very active couple of months.

We've officially come up with our own contract projections for the NFL's top free agents that include context behind each player's 2023 season, the likelihood of a franchise tag, the projection itself, and the first-year cap hit for a team that's “all-in” and is needing to reduce that first-year hit in order to maximize their cap dollars.

So, without further ado, let's check out the projection for Tennessee Titans QB, Ryan Tannehill.

Ryan Tannehill 2024 Contract Projection

Tannehill lost his starting job in 2023 to rookie Will Levis as the Titans made the full transition to a rebuild. But when pressed into the starting lineup due to injury, Tannehill still showed he can play in limited reps. He was able to maintain his career rates in big time throws and turnover-worthy plays and in the right system behind a good offensive line (which he did not have his last few years in Tennessee) Tannehill can still provide solid quarterback play for a fringe contender who loses the quarterback musical chairs in the off-season.

Tannehill will most likely be a late signing for a regime needing to win now that lacks the resources to pursue Kirk Cousins and the draft capital to land one of the premier quarterbacks in the draft. Tannehill’s deal will likely be incentive laden, full of achievable targets that the signing team will be able to defer to 2025’s salary cap by making them “Not Likely To Be Earned” by the league’s definition.

• Franchise Tag Likelihood: Low
• Projected Contract: 1 year, $13.5 million, $13.5 APY, $6M GTD
• Year One Cap Hit: $4.0 million
