Will Ryan Tannehill be a Starting NFL QB in 2020?

[FantasyFreak]

While Tannehill could not be said to have done anything significant this week - he still may have done something significant.

1 - He beat the Patriots in NE in the playoffs.

Again while little of this was on Tannehill himself, he was still the starting QB and that alone will count for something. Plus the 1st team to beat the Patriots at home in the Playoffs in 8 years (2012).

2 - He did not implode against Bill Belichick

Not to mention a key 3 & 10 against the Patriots pass rush for a TD

Again, not saying Tannehill was the reason the Titans advanced - just that because he was involved, that is going to count for something going forward.

Counterpoint: Derrick Henry just rolled the Patriots and effectively won the game for the Titans. Henry is also a free agent and he has made it very difficult for the Titans to move on from him with this performance. I’m not sure this win adds much leverage for Tannehill.

The Titans will at the very least franchise Henry, I would think. They have a projected 57 million in cap space, have to imagine Henry is part of that.

Idk the cap hits for the franchise tag for QB/RB upcoming, but would it make more sense (if the Titans don't sign both long term) to franchise Henry over Tannehill? Is it cheaper to do one or the other?

Without looking at the cap hits, I think I'd rather franchise Tannehill and make him prove it for another year before giving him a big extension

It really depends on the market for Tanny, IMO. I'd rather give Tanny a 2 year deal and franchise Henry, if I were an owner. Even a Foles type deal where it's 4 years, but basically 2 guaranteed. Long term deals for RB's on their 2nd contract rarely work in your favour.

100% agree on the RB part. I also think a Foles type deal for Tannehill is best, as long as the market doesn't blow his value up bigger than it really is

I think you guys will be surprised by the size of Tannehill's contract based on some of the comments in this thread.

I bet he signs a 4-yr, $120M contract with about ~2 years' worth of guarantees.

As I said back in December.....

I remember getting some bleep from a lot of people for saying this, but looks like it is EXACTLY the deal that Tannehill got:

4 years / $118 million contract with the first 2 years fully guaranteed.

I'm not usually a fan of people patting themselves on the back, but you really nailed it. Well done.

So what's next? Henry gets tagged?

[ArrylT]

And the answer is yes .... if there is a season at least!

People are always always surprised by QB numbers. I don’t get it.

You have to pay up, it’s that simple. Things like Brady taking a team friendly deal to win rings is not the norm.

Yeah, that's pretty spot on.

Whoa. Spot on. On a related note...is there a way to like "follow" people on this website? There are some crystal-ball-having-dudes, lol.

Truth. People were all up in arms about Kirk Cousins, but his contract made sense to me. While I wouldn't pay that for Tannehill, it's not shocking that someone will.

I appreciate you all letting me pat myself on the back after that prediction back in December - I promise I don't usually gloat like that!

How would you value him in a normal League And in SF/2QB
