The Facts: The Titans will have an opportunity to move on from Tannehill and his contract. Don’t bet on it being this offseason, though. While one can question Tannehill’s viability to be the quarterback to lead the Titans to the Super Bowl, Tennessee releasing or trading him before the 2022 season is “not feasible,” according to former NFL agent and salary cap expert Joel Corry, who writes for CBS Sports.

Diehards Line:Tennessee, which is $6.2 million over its projected cap space for next season, according to OverTheCap, would incur a $57.4 million dead cap charge by cutting Tannehill. The penalty would be the total of his $29 million fully guaranteed base salary for 2022 and $28.4 million in prorated signing bonus money left on his contract. That would come with an $18.8 million loss in cap space. Tannehill signed a four-year, $118 deal with the Titans after the 2019 season, but restructured his deal in June to facilitate the Julio Jones trade, which added two voidable years to the end of Tannehill’s deal, adding to the challenge of moving his contract. “It’s not feasible and it wasn’t feasible really before he restructured his contract,” Corry told The Tennessean. “There’s no good exit strategy unless you can find a trade and I don’t think anyone even wants to take on Ryan Tannehill’s fully guaranteed $29 million base salary coming for next season.” If the Titans do want to move on from Tannehill, their best bet is waiting until after the 2022 season, when they could save $17.8 million against the cap by trading or cutting him before June 1, 2023.
