The Tennessee Titans have extended their contract with quarterback Ryan Tannehill and thus retired from the race for superstar Tom Brady.

The Tennessee Titans from the US professional football league NFL have extended their contract with quarterback Ryan Tannehill (31) and thus retired from the race for superstar Tom Brady. Tannehill, who led the franchise to the play-off semi-finals last season, is to receive up to 118 million dollars (106 million euros) for four years, according to US media reports. 62 million dollars are allegedly guaranteed.

The Titans announced on Sunday that the contract would be extended for several years, but did not give any details on the exact term and the salary. Tannehill had come from the Miami Dolphins in March 2019. He replaced Marcus Mariota as the club’s number one playmaker during the past season.

Tennessee eliminated defending champions New England Patriots and Brady (42) in the wildcard round. The most successful quarterback in history is currently without a contract and the Titans were considered interested.
