DAVIE, Fla. -- The Miami Dolphins have found their coach in Brian Flores. The next search is for their franchise quarterback.
During the past seven seasons, the Dolphins have bet on Ryan Tannehill as their undisputed franchise quarterback. But in 2019 -- under Flores and headed in a different direction while embracing a rebuild -- Miami is expected to move on without their first-round pick from 2012.
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said it's not "fair" to say with certainty that Tannehill will be released this offseason, because Flores just got to Miami and he hasn't even completed the hiring of the staff that will evaluate the 30-year-old, oft-injured quarterback.
