ProFootballTalk ‏Dolphins and Ryan Tannehill agree to terms, per league source.

Adam Schefter ‏ Dolphins and Ryan Tannehill have reached agreeenent. He's now reporting.

Unsurprisingly, Dolphins first-round pick Ryan Tannehill’s “holdout” didn’t wind up lasting very long.

A league source told Florio on Saturday evening that the Dolphins and Tannehill have agreed to terms on a contract. The four-year deal will include a club option for a fifth, as is the case with all first-round contracts. Per Florio’s source, the Dolphins made some concessions, but ultimately Tannehill was unwilling to miss a significant amount of practice time. The Tannehill camp did not get offset language fully removed from the deal.

Tannehill has been staying in shape at IMG Performance Institute in Bradenton, Florida. It’s a three-hour drive to the Dolphins’ facility, so he should be there shortly.
Matt Moore and David Garrard are expected to duel for the Week One starting quarterback job. Tannehill will likely open the season holding a clipboard, but he could be starting by midyear if the Dolphins’ season goes as poorly as we envision.

It's true. Adam Schefter reporting it, so it's reliable.

Good job getting him in. But should have happened days ago.
 
good thing, because for a moment there i thought we might have a thread about Tannehill being a jerk and greedy, the front office and of course Jeff Ireland being the worst people in the universe, and complete panic for missing 2 days of basically 7 on 7 in shorts.....

Dolphins made concessions to make deal palatable, but Ryan Tannehill was unwilling to miss more time to continue fight on offset language.

I accurately predicted this last weekend when some were worried about lengthy holdouts by Vernon, Egnew and Tannehill. I said Egnew and Vernon would definitely sign before camp opened and that Tannehill at the most would probably miss two days. Nailed it.
 
Good that hes signed. Absolutely absurd this went on this long and our front office drew a line in the sand about something so utterly trivial.
