OT · Tennessee Titans
Cast your verdict:
Ryan Hayes is a classic camp body signing with minimal immediate impact expected. Media coverage is virtually nonexistent, signaling low organizational priority for this move. Hayes went undrafted in 2023 out of Michigan, suggesting limited NFL ceiling at the position. Titans fans are largely indifferent, viewing this as routine offseason roster maintenance. Hayes projects as a practice squad candidate unless injuries create unexpected opportunity along the offensive line.
This signing grades out as a bad deal for the Tennessee Titans — the team is paying more than the on-field production currently warrants. Ryan's on-field performance ranks in the bottom quartile among NFL OTs, grading him as an unproven at the position. His $1.1M average annual value ranks as bargain money for the OT market. The concern here is the gap between production and cost — unproven output at bargain money means the team is paying a premium above the player's on-field value. Ryan is squarely in his prime, which adds to the deal's upside — the team should get multiple productive seasons out of this contract.
