While the New England Patriots passed on former linebacker and Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Vrabel, the Patriots could pursue his former quarterback.
Bleacher Report’s Ryan Fowler named Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill as a “scheme fit” for the Patriots. Tannehill has a four-year, $118 million deal with the Titans that expires in March 2024.
“The Patriots could take a new face of the franchise with the No. 3 overall pick. But if they opt to go to the veteran route or eye Tannehill as a wily vet with some spot-start ability, this could be a nice landing spot,” Fowler wrote.
Tannehill could serve as a bridge quarterback with playoff experience if the Patriots can turn things around in 2024. He played in five playoff games with the Titans between 2019 and 2021, and Tannehill has a 39-24 mark as the starter in Tennessee.
Things didn’t work out that well this past regular season where he went 3-5 and remained on the bench after rookie Will Levis stepped up. Tannehill threw for 1,616 yards and four touchdowns versus seven interceptions.
