Free-agent cornerback Logan Ryan, who is one of the top defensive players available, is open to entertaining all offers and will consider a short-term deal. Sources say that Ryan won't take less than the $10 million per year that he earned in 2019. One of the top teams in the market for Ryan just traded for Darius Slay, so he has one less suitor. The Jets and Raiders could be options, but it remains to be seen if they'll give him the money he wants. The 29-year-old former third-round pick of the Patriots in 2013 had a career-high 113 tackles (73 solo), eight QB hits, four interceptions, 18 passes defensed, four forced fumbles and even 4.5 sacks in 2019.
The Tennessee Titans agreed to a one-year, $12 million deal with linebacker Vic Beasley on Tuesday, according to a source. Beasley will receive $9.5 million guaranteed. The former Atlanta Falcons pass-rusher led the NFL in sacks in 2016 with 15.5, but has fallen off considerably since then and recorded eight sacks in 15 starts for the Falcons in 2019. He also added 42 tackles (28 solo), eight tackles for loss, 12 QB hits and two forced fumbles. The 27-year-old could benefit from a change of scenery in Tennessee's solid defense, but he's likely to be more of a rotational player from here on out.
The Tennessee Titans are re-signing offensive tackle Dennis Kelly to a three-year, $21 million deal on Monday, according to a source. The deal will include $8.75 million in guarantees. With Jack Conklin signing with the Browns on Monday, Kelly will have a chance to take over the starting right tackle job in 2020 and beyond. The 30-year-old out of Purdue has spent the last four seasons with the Titans, but he hasn't started more than six games in any single season with them. That should change moving forward. The move from Conklin to Kelly will be a downgrade for both quarterback Ryan Tannehill and running back Derrick Henry.
The Tennessee Titans placed the franchise tag on running back Derrick Henry on Monday, according to a source. The projected tag for running backs in 2020 is around $12.36 million. The two sides will now have until July 15 to work out a multi-year extension. The 26-year-old was a Pro Bowler for the first time in 2019 when he led the league with 1,540 rushing yards as the engine for the Titans offense. Henry was the central figure that helped the team advance to the AFC Championship last season. He has a little more volatility because he doesn't catch many passes, but Henry has cemented himself as a strong RB1 in Tennessee's run-first offense.
The Tennessee Titans and quarterback Ryan Tannehill agreed to a four-year, $118 million contract on Sunday, according to a source. The deal averages $29.5 million per season with $62 million fully guaranteed and $91 million total in guarantees. The former eighth overall pick with the Dolphins in 2012 failed to live up to expectations in his seven seasons in Miami, but he took over as the Titans starter in 2019 and led the team to an AFC Championship appearance. They'll hope he can continue to play well when he threw for 22 touchdowns and six interceptions in 12 games last year, but Tannehill will struggle for QB1 upside in Tennessee's run-first offense. This likely means that running back Derrick Henry receives the franchise tag now, while the Titans are out as a destination for Tom Brady.
