Details emerge on Tannehill incident at 'Fins practice
Flare-ups in practice aren't unusual in the NFL, but Breer noted that the incident is "enough to make you at least wonder" about Tannehill's future in Miami. Why? Because, the contract he signed in the offseason has "escape hatches that the club can wiggle through starting after the 2016 season," per Breer, echoing a report from Pro Football Talk.
With former general manager Jeff Ireland, ex-Dolphins play-caller Mike Sherman and the fired Joe Philbin no longer in Miami, "the franchise is naturally less invested" in Tannehill than it was a couple years ago, per Breer.
From another angle, Tannehill's play on the field over the rest of the season can help him gain organizational support. Teams aren't in the business of dumping quarterbacks with potential, but the Dolphins are a club in flux.
All eyes will be on Tannehill and how he handles a rough start to the campaign.
It will be interesting to see where things go from here. If Ryan can get the team to look past this with his performance the rest of the year, or if this is going to cause divide in the locker room.
