The Facts: The Saints are expected to target Tannehill as their backup if they lose Teddy Bridgewater to the Dolphins, Ian Rapoport of NFL Media reports.

Diehards Line:The move makes sense given Saints assistant GM Jeff Ireland drafted Tannehill while he was GM in Miami. The Dolphins are expected to move on from Tannehill, but they need a starter first. Bridgewater, who is visiting Miami, is the best option of the veteran quarterbacks still on the market. If nothing else, he would provide a bridge until the Dolphins can find their franchise quarterback. The Dolphins thought they had that when they drafted Tannehill with the eighth overall pick in 2012. But he has missed 24 of a possible 48 games over the past three seasons and has only a 42-46 record as the team’s starter. Tannehill, 30, would be a good fit behind Drew Brees in Sean Payton’s offense.
