Miami is in position, or close to the position it would take to draft a quarterback like Memphis’ Paxton Lynch. I wrote about that possibility here. As I was writing about Lynch I wondered if the Dolphins could pull off what the San Diego Chargers did with Phillip Rivers but then I thought why bother to wait until 2017 to release or try and trade Tannehill. Why not do it during the draft?
Doing so would not be cap friendly as the Dolphins would eat around $9 million and save somewhere around $2.
