The Dolphins have a stop-gap veteran option at the quarterback position with Ryan Fitzpatrick.

Fitzpatrick’s presence, however, isn’t stopping the Dolphins from closely evaluating one of the top quarterback prospects in the upcoming draft with an eye to the future, Herbie Teope of NFL.com reports.

The Dolphins are heading to Duke in the coming week to work out Daniel Jones, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, via a source informed of the situation.

Rapoport added Jones has already visited with teams potentially in the market for a signal-caller, a list that includes the Washington Redskins and New England Patriots, among others.

Posted in Free Agency, News

The Dolphins have reached a new deal with at least one of the four players they made an exclusive rights free agent earlier this offseason, Safid Deen of the South Florida Sun-Sentinel reports.

The Dolphins signed backup offensive tackle Zach Sterup to a one-year deal on Friday, his agent Brett Tessler announced from his Twitter account.

Sterup, who has appeared in 12 with two starts during the last two seasons with the Dolphins, could compete for a starting job on Miami’s revamped offensive line next season.

The Dolphins are in need of offensive linemen after the departure of right tackle Ja’Wuan James in free agency, and the releases of left guard Ted Larsen and Josh Sitton.

Sterup was one of three offensive linemen given an exclusive rights deal by the Dolphins, along with starting right guard Jesse Davis and reserve guard Isaac Asiata. Defensive end Jonathan Woodard was the fourth player.

Dolphins Ink Veteran Quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick

The Dolphins dealt former first-round pick Ryan Tannehill to the Titans on Friday, and two days later have grabbed another Ryan to play the QB position.

The club on Sunday agreed to terms on a two-year deal with Buccaneers free agent quarterback Ryan Fitzpatrick, bringing him back to the AFC East to play on his third team in the division.

Last season Fitzpatrick, who will be 37 during the season, threw for 2366 yards with 17 touchdowns and 12 interceptions.

He started the season leading the Bucs to wins over the Saints and Eagles, and was the talk of the league throwing for eight scores in the first two weeks.

After that he and the Bucs fell back down to earth, and he went 0-6 the rest of the way as Tampa Bay starter, splitting time with Jameis Winston.

Fitzpatrick did have two other games last season in which he threw for 400 yards, both in losing efforts for Tampa.

Dolphins Deal Quarterback Ryan Tannehill to the Titans

March 16th, 2019

The agents for Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill have announced on Twitter that their client has been traded to the Tennessee Titans.

Tannehill has also reportedly signed a new one-year deal worth $7 million a drastic cut his salary from the $18.725 million he was due to make under the terms of his contract with the Dolphins.

According to multiple reports, the Titans are sending a 2020 fourth-round pick and a 2019 seventh-round pick to Miami for Tannehill and a 2019 sixth-round pick.

The 30-year-old Tannehill, originally the Dolphins first-round pick in 2012 out of Texas A&M, showed flashes of talent during his seven-year run in Miami but proved injury-prone and struggled as a downfield passer.

This is actually a brilliant move by the Titans as it secures them a solid backup quarterback capable of winning games beihind the talented but oft-injured Marcus Mariota. Mariota missed three games last year and has missed at least one game in all four of his NFL seasons so it seems likely Tannehill will be starting some games in Tennessee in 2019.

As for the Dolphins, Jake Rudock and David Fales are the only quarterbacks currently under contract after Teddy Bridgewater spurned the team to re-sign with the New Orleans Saints.

Dolphins Inking Veteran TE Dwayne Allen to a Two-Year Deal

March 11th, 2019

Posted in Free Agency, News

Veteran tight end Dwayne Allen is reportedly signing a two-year deal to join the Miami Dolphins according to Josina Anderson of ESPN.

The 29-year-old Allen has had a busy week since being cut by the New England Patriots, visiting the Browns, Bills, and Lions before heading to Miami.

Originally a third-round pick out of Clemson by the Indianapolis Colts in 2012, Allen spent five seasons in Indy before signing with the Patriots in 2017. The Pats used him primarily as a blocking tight end but he does have a Super Bowl ring to show for his time in New England.
