The Facts: During his session at the NFL owners meeting coaches breakfast this morning, HC Adam Gase said Tannehill was going to be “ready to go” when OTAs begin. “We get our quarterback back,” Gase said.
Diehards Line:
Tannehill tried to rehab a knee problem away last year, and then needed surgery in August, which led to a scramble to sign Jay Cutler and a lost season. But with Tannehill healthy again, they can enter the season without a giant question mark at the most important position. Of course, that leads to the next level of questions, specifically whether they’re going to draft one to push Tannehill or be ready for the future. Gase admitted his admiration for Oklahoma’s Baker Mayfield, saying they were “close in personality probably.” The Dolphins pick 11th overall, which may not be high enough in the order to get to Mayfield considering all the quarterback-needy teams at the top.
