The Buccaneers are monitoring soon-to-be free agent Ryan Tannehill, according to Jenna Laine of ESPN.com. Teams are not permitted to talk to pending FAs until the legal tampering period begins, but Tannehill is among the quarterbacks on their radar. 
“March 16, we’ll have a lot more clarity,” general manager Jason Licht said recently. “You hear things on the street, but you just wait for the dominoes to fall a little bit and you’re prepared for every scenario.”
A refresher on the 2020 NFL offseason calendar: March 16 is the start of the “legal tampering” period in which teams are allowed to engage in conversations with free agents before they officially become available on March 18, when the league year begins (Of course, teams tend to chat with agents well before those dates to get a sense for where the market stands).
The March 12th deadline to franchise tag players will also be a factor for the Bucs as they consider Tannehill as a potential replacement for Jameis Winston. The Titans are aiming to lock up Tannehill before that date and use the tag on running back Derrick Henry. There’s mutual interest in a new deal between Tannehill and Tennessee, but nothing is certain around this time of year.
As previously reported, Laine also notes that the Bucs are also keeping tabs on Tom Brady, Philip Rivers, and Teddy Bridgewater. Few expect Brady to land in Tampa and there’s increasing chatter about Rivers going to the Colts. Even if those two aren’t on the table, Bridgewater would be an intriguing pickup for the Bucs, should they choose to part with Winston.
What a terrible solution. Ryan Tannehill is a back up QB talent. Always has been. TB doesn’t have the D or run game Tennessee had. That’s why Tannehill was semi-successful. His play is not how the Titans reached the AFC Championship
This would TOTALLY be a Bucs (or Jags) decision.
Tannehill is terrible. Despite being able to ride Derrick Henry for 10 weeks, we have seen years of awful Tannehill.
Some GM is going to get themselves fired by overpaying for this backup.

The Bucs should adjust their radar so it focuses on a QB who will actually be a FA. There is zero chance the Titans will let Tannehill test the market.
Tannehurt is a IL waiting to happen
They’ll go hard after Teddy, if for no other reason that it hurts the Saints!
Gee it’s not like Teddy is actually good or anything LOL
