Tennessee Titans — Ryan Tannehill
Base Salary: $27,000,000
The Titans have selected QB’s in each of the last two drafts, but will still cut a hefty check to nominal starter Ryan Tannehill this year. Tannehill — who signed a four-year/$118 million deal back in ’20 — is coming off his worst year in Tennessee as the team approaches a likely rebuild. With Will Levis (and Malik Willis) waiting in the wings, it seems hardly beneficial to be paying a stop-gap option like Tannehill that type of money. It might be best for the team to cut ties with the veteran QB, as the Titans could use the money saved to build around one of the young quarterbacks. If they decide to keep him, Tannehill’s cap hit for ’23 is a whopping $36.6 million — second-highest in the entire league behind only Patrick Mahomes.
