The Facts: The Dolphins aren’t planning on letting Tannehill remain as the starter in 2019. After seven years with the club, the people who run the organization, including owner Stephen Ross, are agreed they are moving on from Tannehill.

Diehards Line:This according to Herald staffer Armando Salguero, who added that Tannehill's fate was decided toward the end of last season (and was initially reported by Salguero on Dec. 23). What is new, however, is how the break is likely to happen: While the Dolphins hope they can trade Tannehill, thereby getting some sort of draft compensation for the quarterback in return, the chances of that happening are not great. Tannehill’s contract would have to be traded along with the quarterback, it limits the number of teams who would be willing to accept Tannehill because he would cost $18.7 million in base salary in 2019 and $19.5 million in 2020. For what it's worth, the Dolphins aren't interested in trading for or neither signing Nick Foles nor are they said to be looking at free-agent-to-be Teddy Bridgewater. The only other quarterbacks on the roster at the moment are Jake Rudock and Luke Falk, though they could always draft one. But it doesn't sound like they're interested in paying up for one -- not even the one already on their roster.
