Matt Moore wants to return to Miami. The Dolphins are said to want him back. What's the holdup? Money, most likely. http://www.miamiherald.com/sports/nfl/miami-dolphins/article14571401.html …

Head coach Joe Philbin and general manager Dennis Hickey surely don’t want gamble their careers on a rookie project if Tannehill goes down this year.

“[The Dolphins] want to sign him,” said a league source familiar with the situation.

But Moore has generated interest from other teams in the past week ‒ not a surprise, given the lack of quality quarterbacks on the market. Moore is the best remaining available quarterback, far more attractive than the likes of Tarvaris Jackson, Michael Vick and Colt McCoy.

surveying the league, there aren’t a lot of options left if playing time is Moore’s No. 1 desire. One possibility: the Tennessee Titans, who have Zach Mettenberger and Charlie Whitehurst. But the Titans also own the No. 2 overall pick in the draft, and might select a quarterback.

A deal between the Dolphins and Moore could conceivably happen this week as the team catches its breath after a wild first week of free agency.

The organization is also still waiting to figure out what’s going to happen with tight end Charles Clay, who remains a Dolphin under the one-year transition tag.

The team wants to keep Clay and pair him with Jordan Cameron, but is stuck in limbo as Clay waits to see what he might fetch from another team. If Clay signs elsewhere, the Dolphins would have a week to either match it or let him leave without any compensation.

i've said this in the chat before, i would be reluctant to pay for a back-up QB. i'd prefer a young (and cheap) QB from the draft or maybe as UDFA
 
perfect... hope we can get a nice contract cheap for him... great guy!!!
 
i guess he does want to come back when his market as a free agent has been non existent...miami should keep that in mind also...no way you pay this guy $4 mil to hold a clip board when he's had no interest elsewhere
 
We are a .500 football team, if the back up QB isn't someone young and someone the organization is grooming to take over someday then the FO has failed....we do not need a guy making millions standing on the sidelines holding a clip board when we are weak at CB, LB, No #1 WR and a hole at Guard.....thank you Matt but good luck with the next team that picks you up and If RT goes down we were a .500 team with him this will only insure we get a better pick without him
 
$2 million per year fine. $4 million per year he can kick rocks. In between? Meh.
 
I don't think he wanted to go anywhere to be honest.

He's got a comfy job, makes good money and lives in South Florida. He knows with Dallas Thomas on the line, he'll eventually get in there.

Matt Cassell and Ryan Fitzpatrick were traded for when both their respective teams could have had Matt Moore for free...that should tell him something.
 
Sign him now...he is the only chance we have of going to the playoffs

the biggest endorsers of matt moore were on this message board...and yeah no doubt that tells ya something...the guys an afterthought in the nfl...even those scrub backups can get more of a market and they have proven at every stop they aren't good enough

offer him $2 mil per take it or leave it...
 
The fact he would sign to be a backup tells you all you need to know about him:

1) nobody in the league trusts him to win them games, enough to sign him
2) He doesn't believe in himself enough to take himself out of his cushy goofball comfort zone on South Beach and go compete for a starting berth.
3) He's wasting a roster spot for a player that might actually be something someday.

You know why Tannehill loves Matt Moore? Matt Moore is never going to push RT, never going to threaten his position and never going to develop beyond where he is today while he's a Dolphin. Matt Moore isn't a mentor, a sounding board, a competitor to push RT along, he's a funny guy who gets paid a fortune to know the divisions and laugh at Ryan's jokes.

Sadly, this isn't exactly the draft to stockpile on QBs.
