SPECULATION: Unexpected NFC Team Acquires Titans' QB Ryan Tannehill In Game-Changing Trade Offer
NFL trade gossip is swirling, with the rumor mill churning out a captivating proposal that sees an unexpected NFC team courting Tennessee Titans quarterback Ryan Tannehill. As the 2019 NFL Comeback Player of the Year approaches his contract's expiry, speculations are rife about his next move.
When the Titans strategically employed their No. 33 draft pick on Kentucky's QB prodigy Will Levis, it left fans wondering if Tannehill's time with the team was ticking down. If indeed the Titans decide to shop Tannehill before the season rolls out, there's little doubt that several teams would jump on the opportunity to snag him.
Maurice Moton of Bleacher Report recently shook up the NFL world with a set of speculative blockbuster trade suggestions that could potentially rock the 2023 postseason landscape. Among them was an unexpected twist: Tannehill and a 2024 fourth-round pick being shipped off to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for their 2024 third-rounder.
According to Moton, "If the Falcons acquired Tannehill from the Titans, we shouldn't be completely shocked because of his history with head coach Arthur Smith, who served as his offensive coordinator between 2019 and 2020... Smith could make a call to Tennessee for Tannehill...In a wide-open NFC South that features Derek Carr as its top quarterback, the Falcons can compete for a division title with a decent offense."
Arthur Smith was, indeed, the Titans' offensive coordinator during Tannehill's peak professional years in 2019 and 2020. Under Smith's guidance, Tannehill helped steer the Titans to the 2019 AFC Championship Game, as well as bagging consecutive AFC South division titles in the following two years.
As the preseason approaches, the Titans' QB depth chart sees Desmond Ridder and new addition Taylor Heinicke at the helm. However, introducing a seasoned player like Tannehill could instantly elevate the Atlanta Falcons, positioning them as a strong contender within their division.
Tannehill's last season saw him complete 65.2 percent of his passes over 12 games, notching up 13 touchdowns and six interceptions. With stats like these, it's clear why he's a prized piece in this intricate game of NFL chess.
