Tannehill Traded To Titans

Dolphins will carry more than $18 million under the salary cap for Ryan Tannehill

Of course, keeping Tannehill would have cost $26.611 million under the cap, and $18.725 million in cash. So the Dolphins created $8.188 million in cap space, spent $5 million to do it, and picked up a fourth-round pick next year while flip-flopping 2019 sixth- and seventh-round picks with the Titans.

I concede those stats but was referring to his last 2 full seasons plus his projected during the injury years
he definitely improved and was given some weapons other than Hartline & Bess

it's possible - i personally don't see a ton more room for growth after this long, and am glad the dolphins are no longer holding onto that hope either - but i wish him the best and will never deny he's a stand up guy with a talented arm

there is no "i told you so" in this for me , I'm ready for the next Dolphins chapter

we were going to pay him 26 mil next years, the Titans, the only interested party, was willing to take him for 2 mil.
what does that say about our FO LOL:ice:

No.

Tannehill's salary was scheduled to be 18.8 mil, and there was a prorated bonus as a cap hit of 7.8 mil in 2019 and 5.6 mil in 2020. Salary plus the prorated bonus was a 32.2 mil cap number total; or for 2019 18.8+7.8, 26.6 mil total.

If the Dolphins cut him, there was no guaranteed money, 0 salary, and the cap hit was 7.8 mil prorated bonus plus 5.6 accelerated from 2020 for the total of 13.4.
In 2019, that is a saving of 13.2 mil (26.6 - 13.4), 13.4 mil (7..8+5.6) cap hit, 0 cap hit in 2020, and 0 cash paid.

If the Dolphins cut him June 1:
In 2019, that is a saving of 18.8 mil (26.6 - 7.8), 7.8 mil cap hit, 5.6 cap hit in 2020, and 0 cash paid.


Instead the genius paid 5 mil salary:
In 2019, that is a saving of 8.2 mil (26.6 - 18.4) instead of 13.2 mil or more,
18.4 mil (13.4 + 5 ) cap hit instead of 13.4 mil,
0 cap hit in 2020,
and 5 mil cash paid instead of 0 cash paid..

Traded sixth for seventh.
Paid 5 mil for a fourth round pick that is paid 2.5 mil over the course of 4 years. Essentially guaranteed 6 mil to a fourth round pick that is paid 2.5 over the course of the contract.

This is unbelievable stuff. You cannot make this stuff up.

The Dolphins were never going to him $26 million over the next 2 years. It was a choice between a trade or a cut. A 4th round pick and 0 dead money next year are much better than cutting him for nothing and paying him in 2020.

He was the starting QB for the Miami Dolphins. If you couldn't pull for him you are not a fan of the team.

I’m Just a neutral observer and call things however I see it. No hoping and wishing. Just logic.

My assessment of what Tannehill would be was formed before anybody knew where he was going to play in the NFL. No bias.

I never pulled for him or against him. I do pull for certain players to do well, regardless of what team is paying them.

I view the NFL completely different than anyone on this forum. It’ll never fall in line with whatever the dominant slant is.

Honest question. Do you pull for Alabama players simply because of them being in Alabama? I just think you are a very moderate dolphins fan. Alabama is definitely king for you

So are they correct that we swapped 6 and 7?

Just the other day they were wrong on Fales so...

Well there’s no question about it. It’s been that way for over 50 years. I’ve never tried to insinuate anything different. Most people from Texas to South Carolina care more about college football. I know, I’ve lived in literally every single state in between.

I don’t really care what the Dolphins do. I just can’t get interested in what goes on in the NFL to the extent most of you do.

There’s three different groups of interest out there - NFL, college, and a mixture of both. And they all align geographically. In the south, it’s definitely college football.


EDIT: I may have misunderstood your question a little - you asked if I pulled for Alabama players simply because of them being in Alabama. I get familiar with a lot of these kids around here and their families when they’re in high school. Although not as much as I used to. I pull for certain players to do well that are from around here for UAB, UNA, USA, Troy, etc.... even Auburn. Although it’s usually best to keep that to yourself.

Thanks for answering the OPs original question. But your response does prompt another natural question. If you don't really care what the Dolphins do and to some extent what happens in the NFL. Then what's the point of being part of this particular community, for so long? You've been an active member, albeit the draft section, since i joined many moons ago. Why?

Hopefully this will be the last tannehill thread on finheaven but something tells me it wont be.

I think you probably answered it - mostly to provide draft material for this site. Although I’ve made some friends in my years here. They are why I stop by here. Not whatever idiot is running the Dolphins.

I really don’t post that much on here. I spend most of my time on a Bama forum, coaching forum like coachhuey.com, or high school football forums.

One day soon I’ll probably just ease on out. But the draft forum should be in good hands with posters like J-doll here for Dolphin fans that want knowledge on draft prospects.
