Elky Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 http://www.rotoworld.com/player/nfl/7417/ryan-tannehill According to the Miami Herald, the Dolphins are prepared to move on from Ryan Tannehill after this season rather than pay him the $19 million he's owed over the next two years. None of Tannehill's 2019-2020 scheduled pay is guaranteed, so it will be an easy cord to cut. By releasing or trading Tannehill, the Fins would save $13.2 million under the 2019 salary cap, or $18.7 million if he's designated a post-June 1 cut. Amid reports the front office will also be cleaned out, the Dolphins' organization appears headed for a near-full overhaul this offseason.

Tetsujin Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Miami needs a new D-Coordinator, QBotF, but they really need better DL talent, especially an impact DT an LDE. T-Hill plays really well when the OL isn't falling apart around him. Miami has good weapons at the skill positions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheKillerNacho Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 This makes no sense. We aren't in a position to draft a QB nor would an upgrade be available as a FA or trade. Really hope this is just rumor/speculation. Tannehill isn't the problem in Miami. While he does have to be replaced at some point, the timing doesn't make much sense. The cap room that cutting him would save is negated by downgrading at the most important position in the game. Perhaps Miami is trying to get him to take a pay cut, Idk. Regarding the FO, they can all go. Never wanted Tannenbum here. Good riddance. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rockice_8 Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 As they should. Really wish they didn't pick up Parker's 5th year option I would have love to take a flyer on him as a FA this year. This is the Tanny cycle. Come in pay a ton of money to big names, win some games, ultimately fall short of target goal, have cap issues, clear cap space, suck, repeat.

Mid Iowa Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 When was the last time Miami was relevant? 1989? Starting from (near) scratch is probably a good idea. Except their uniforms. They've got good uniforms. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Dolphins had only two losing seasons in the span of 1970 until 2003 (a 33-year span). 2004 and beyond, however, the franchise just can't seem to dig itself out of mediocrity. It's sad.

One of the worst QB classes I've seen. Joe Flacco. I know it's not sexy, but he could be a good player in the right system. Sometimes a new venue can change a guy. Have him teach the QBotF for the Fins. He won't be cheap, but his asking price has taken quite the hit over the past 2 seasons, so perhaps he'd restructure.

Broncofan Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Tannenbaum has been a much bigger problem TBH. Tanny probably isn’t the long term answer but this isn’t a great year to go early for QB. The curious part is that Gase doesn’t seem like he can afford a developmental QB year. Unless they are parting ways you have to think Gase would be targeting a non rookie - I guess they could make Tanny a post June 1 cut to save almost 18M and then go hard on Teddy B. But the options seem limited compared to the status quo (as a DEN fan I’m well aware given DEN is in far worse shape QB wise than Tanny). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Without looking too hard into the Dolphins' cap situation, they probably are trying to clear the books as much as possible. They're projected to have a shade over $7M in cap space this offseason, and $20M next year. It might be better to bottom out next year when you're looking at a QB class with Tua, From, Herbert, etc. and your books cleared. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dr.O Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 Good move for them, idk if they’re moving on from Gase but I think he’s a good coach and has gotten a lot out of his team this year. Tanny had a similar tenure with us by shelling out big money for a few free agents and trade for Big name guys instead of trying to draft and develop your own. They best try and nab Bridgewater and draft Grier or Lock or move up for Haskins if they think he can be the guy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TecmoSuperJoe Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 99.0 passer rating this year, but ranked 29th in DVOA. This is why passer rating is stupid. Tannehill has had his chances to show something, and never has. It's been 6 years. It's time to move on. Even if the options are slim, you gotta try something else. It's remarkable that he's made it this far as Miami's "guy". But that's what happens when you play just well enough not to lose your job. Being stuck in mediocrity is worse than being just plain bad. Takes forever to change. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tetsujin Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 I'd keep Tanney for one more year, then try to sell the farm for Tua or whomever we deem to be the best QB in 2020; Spend early picks on the trenches for the draft in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
raidersedge Posted December 27, 2018 Share Posted December 27, 2018 He's had some injuries and hasn't been available so its understandable. But options for a new QB will be very limited this off-season. Drew Lock will end up a top 10 pick, just because.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
