Ryan Tannehill’s name was tossed around as a possible solution for the Miami Dolphins following Tua Tagovailoa’s injury. However, reports indicate that Tannehill is seeking a long-term starting role, not a short-term fix. This makes sense considering Tagovailoa has no plans to retire.

With quarterback injuries plaguing the league, Tannehill’s name is expected to surface in more conversations. He appears to be strategically waiting for a team to lose their starting quarterback, potentially for a significant period. This calculated approach echoes the career trajectory of Joe Flacco.

The Dolphins, meanwhile, have opted to sign veteran quarterback Tyler Huntley. This move suggests confidence in Huntley and current backup Skylar Thompson to hold the fort until Tagovailoa’s return. Miami is focused on Tagovailoa’s long-term health, and the addition of Huntley provides both competition and security.

While a reunion with Tannehill in Miami seemed unlikely, it’s clear he is determined to find the right fit for a potential return to the NFL. He is willing to remain patient and wait for an opportunity that aligns with his goals rather than jumping at a temporary solution. Where he might land and when remains to be seen.
