It was another year, another winning season, another early postseason exit for the Tenne see Titans.In 2021, Tenne see finished above .500 for the sixth straight campaign, fourth consecutive under coach Mike Vrabel and Tyler Herro Jersey third in a row with under center. The franchise has not had such a run of sustained succe s since the turn of the century Titans, led by Jeff Fisher and Steve McNair, went to the playoffs four times in five years and came up one yard short in the Super Bowl.And yet, there are calls this offseason for Tenne see to , and rumors linger about Tannehill's potentially tenuous future with the club, especially with a certain three-time MVP from Wisconsin po sibly .Despite the public doubt that Tannehill is in the Titans' plans, general manager Jon Robinson said this week in that the 33-year-old quarterback is safely Udonis Haslem Jersey entrenched as Nashville's north star."Ryan's a pro. He knows how much he means to us. Traded for that guy. Gave him an opportunity to start. New contract," Robinson said. "I think it's pretty apparent where he stands with us. He's our quarterback. I don't know how many more times I gotta say it."Tannehill signed an four-year extension with the club in 2020 that keeps him in a Shaquille O'Neal Jersey Titans uniform through the 2023 season. The veteran is owed $29 million in base salary and is slated to count $38.6 million against the cap in 2022.Parting ways with the reliable starter -- Tannehill hasn't mi sed a game in two years -- after leading the Titans to their third trip to the playoffs in a row seems short-sighted on its face. With Tannehill's guidance, the Titans navigated treacherous waters in the AFC without for much of the season to seize the No. 1 seed in the conference with Paul Eboua Jersey a 12-5 record.However, the QB was prone to major mistakes in 2021, throwing for 14 picks and taking 47 sacks (each his most since 2013). Plus, Tannehill left a bad taste in every Titans fan's mouth with in Tenne see's season-ending Divisional Round lo s to the Cincinnati Bengals. His final pa s of the season was intercepted and set up Cincy's game-winning field goal."It was a problem (in 2021)," Robinson said of Tannehill's turnovers. "The previous years, it really wasn't. Not that he didn't throw any (interceptions), but it wasn't as many as he threw this past year."Nobody probably feels worse than Ryan. Not to speak for Ryan about the amount of interceptions that went down this year and probably not all of them are on him. ... Sometimes, a DB makes a great play. Sometimes, a receiver may be off his spot. He may get pre sured and the Kendrick Nunn Jersey ball gets tipped. There's a lot that goes into those plays. But ultimately, the quarterback is the one who bears the blame for it."
