Extension Could Be Coming For Taylor Lewan
7 years agoTennessee Titans offensive tackle Taylor Lewan is entering the final year of his deal and will play on a fifth-year option worth $9.34 million if a long-term deal isn't reached. Former NFL agent Joel Corry said the Titans "may have to set the market at offensive tackle" with a long-term deal for Lewan, who is 26. Chiefs offensive tackle Eric Fisher signed a four-year, $48 million extension with $40 million in guarantees in 2016, and Corry said Lewan is much better than him. Russell Okung (four years, $53 million) is currently the highest paid offensive tackle in the league, so the Titans will have to go higher than that. Lewan has made two straight Pro Bowls and has proven to be one of the league's best left tackles since he was drafted 11th overall in 2014. Locking Lewan up will go a long way toward protecting quarterback Marcus Mariota for the future.
