It's Only Happened ONCE!
Just posting the link. I do NOT like ANY of the options listed. Seems sad the state of NFL QB's that this is the BEST list of available QB options? Jeesh! Just seems to reinforce that if you find or have one, do what you have to to keep him...
Regardless of his season-ending knee injury, the Dolphins seem confident in Ryan Tannehill as their quarterback of the future.
There’s good reason for them to believe in him, especially after the strides he made under Adam Gase, and it appears he’s on track to be full strength for next season.
The only caution when it comes to proceeding with Tannehill is that Miami must essentially double his salary to keep him, which means absorbing a cap hit of $20.3 million for 2017.
The Dolphins can get out of most of that money, as well as the rest of a contract that will cost them $60.4 million in cap over the 2018-20 seasons, if they opt out of the deal by March 13. If they go that route, here are five available quarterbacks they can consider:
Jay Cutler
This could be an interesting name to watch even though he plummeted last season.
He has history with coach Adam Gase, who was Chicago’s offensive coordinator in 2015 when Cutler posted a career-high 92.3 passer rating.
The Bears are expected to cut him this spring, and there might not be much of a market for him at 33.
Miami could offer a one-year deal to use him as a bridge to a quarterback it drafts, or as a possible starter going into the season if Tannehill isn’t healthy.
Tony Romo
This is the most accomplished quarterback available.
Romo’s last healthy season wasa 2014, when he completed nearly 70 percent of his passes, had 34 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Since then, he’s made four starts. Each of his last two years were derailed by injury, and rookie Dak Prescott took his job this season.
Any team interested in hosting his comeback try will likely have to trade for him.
Case Keenum
Keenum will be one of the cheapest veterans on the market after making $3.6 million this season, and there’s good reason for that.
He started nine games for the Rams this year and put up a 60.9 completion percentage, nine touchdowns and 11 interceptions.
Two organizations have tried to make it work with Keenum, and he’s never been better than OK.
