Dolphins gamble on Ryan Tannehill as future at quarterback
With free agency approaching (March 14), we're analyzing the quarterback position on the Miami Dolphins:
2018 cap hits of top returnees:
Ryan Tannehill -- $19.8 million
Brandon Doughty -- $480,000
Key stat: The Dolphins don't have a quarterback under contract who took a snap in the 2017 regular season. Tannehill, who was replaced by Cutler, will return from a left knee injury. Tannehill has torn the ACL his left knee twice in the past nine months, so the Dolphins will need a reliable backup. They did not believe in Matt Moore, now a free agent, enough to make him he starter after Tannehill went down in training camp last season. It's unlikely Moore will be back.
