Miami Dolphins sign QB Ryan Tannehill to extension

[philw5289]

Makes me nervous we won't resign cam

[TN05]

Holy cow. Does he even have a playoff appearance?

Oh, and lol at the fans here who don't want Cam to get that kind of money because "reasons".

 

He's 23-25 through his first three seasons. 7-9 his rookie year and 8-8 the last two.

Yeah, I'm not seeing this as "too much"...in today's landscape. Guys like Dalton/Palmer/Alex Smith are getting that if not more and I'll take Tannehill over any of them.

 

Young QB with potential, locked up for 16 a year when soon, half the league will be getting more than that?  Fair deal...as crazy as that sounds.  This is what the NFL has become. If Cam signs for a cent under 20 a year I'll be doing a damn happy dance. 

[KSpan]

If he didn't already have a hot wife, he sure would now.

Cams gonna take a hometown discount guys. Don't worry.

[top dawg]

16 million a year for a young qb on the upswing that only played a season and a half at qb in college. What about this is unreasonable?

 

Nothing.  

 

People are not realistic about the times in which we live.  This is not 10 years ago (or even five), the salary cap is continually increased for a reason.  Everyone is getting paid more, so of course a franchise QB is going to account for the biggest percentage of the cap.

 

People don't want to hear it, but Tannehill and Cam have statistical numbers that are in the same ballpark. I expect Cam's contract to be in the same ballpark.

Also, obligatory wife pic

Drew Brees salary cap hit won't destroy this team. He is teh best ever gawd, and Mickey Loomis is a genius.

I guess no one has actually watched Tannehill play and they just assume he sucks.

[TheRed]

He's 23-25 through his first three seasons. 7-9 his rookie year and 8-8 the last two.

He has 67 total career touchdowns and 42 interceptions.

And he just got $45 million guaranteed.

In the end it all boils down to guaranteed money.

Considering what our own QB has brought to this team in his first 4 years (one of the fastest QB's to 100 touchdowns in NFL history), his guaranteed money is going to hurt a lot of feelings here.

[PantherWake]

Cam is getting 6 years 130-140mil with 60-70 mil guaranteed imo

[Thorrez]

Wasn't people calling for him to be benched around mid season?

[Jimmy]

He's not a bad QB (not sure he warrants this much though)...that team though.   They made a lot of moves this offseason.  Hopefully they can make a push to unseat the Pats.  The Jets won't do poo this year (again) and Bills seem to be on the cuff of improving much like the Phins.

Pretty team friendly deal if they think they can win with him
