Tennessee Titans general manager Ran Carthon has offered some insight into the future of Ryan Tannehill.
\"He\'s been a diligent worker, been in the building every day rehabbing and getting his work in,\" Carthon said. \"So, he is under contract and I am excited about moving forward with him and have a ton of respect for him.\"
Last month, Carthon said he needed to further evaluate Tannehill. Tuesday\'s comments appeared to be a progression from his previous stance.
The Titans have $9.8 million in cap space. Tannehill has a $36.6 million cap number this season. The team could save around $18 million in cap space by cutting him.
\"I know everybody wants to make a big deal out of the quarterback position, whether he will or won\'t be here,\" Carthon said. \"But you guys have to accept the fact that Ryan is under contract for us and right now he is a Titan, and he will be a Titan.\"
