Ryan Tannehill hires same agent as Derrick Henry ahead of free agency
The Tennessee Titans have some huge decisions to make this offseason, and at least two of them will be made following discussions with the same agency.
Ryan Tannehill has hired a new agent, switching from Pat Dye Jr. to Brian Ayrault and Todd France of Creative Artists Agency. CAA also represents Derrick Henry, who is set to become a free agent next month like Tannehill.
#Titans QB Ryan Tannehill has hired new representation prior to hitting free agency or being franchise tagged. He’ll now work with Brian Ayrault and Todd France of @CAA_Football. The same agency also represents FA RB Derrick Henry.

Tannehill was one of the biggest reasons the Titans made the playoffs this season, as he was outstanding after taking over for Marcus Mariota. Tennessee is expected to try to sign him to a long-term extension, but the franchise tag is also a possibility for the quarterback. Tannehill threw for 2,742 yards, 22 touchdowns and just six interceptions in 12 games. He posted a passer rating of 117.5.
Henry also had a breakout season, as he led the NFL with 1,540 rushing yards and 16 touchdowns on the ground. Both he and Tannehill will be looking for big contracts, and the Titans can’t use the franchise tag on both.
