-Manning to Denver? Pretty likely.
-Flynn to Seattle? Certain reports say he signed already, but if he didn't he could sign with the way Miami is lowballing him.

All the other teams in the hunt for Manning already have a Plan B like Arizona with Kolb, Titans with Locker and Niners with Smith. So, that leaves Denver with Tebow as a backup. What are the odds our star struck owner sees Tebow is available and trades for him?

Like an NCAA bracket, a lot of things need to line up, but none of them are too far fetched.

Nope. If Flynn goes to Seattle, I expect Miami to take Tannehill at #8 and start Moore this year. With the way they are handling Flynn, I don't really think that Philbin is sold on him and Tannehill has ties to Sherman. It's risky because Tannehill might not fall to 8, but with the extra picks they got they could also try to swing a deal to move up a couple picks to get him.

Tannehill won't be there at 8. Cleveland and Buffalo both want him. If Miami wants him need to trade picks to get up to #3. Philbin has NO control over Flynn coming here. Ireland has final say on the roster. Total control over roster matters. Philbin can beg for Flynn, if Ireland doesn't want to pay Flynn a few more bucks to seal the deal, Philbin can do nothing about it.

If the Fins lose Flynn and Manning goes to Denver....Tebow to Miami wouldn't shock me in the least. Ross is nuts and only cares about filled stadiums and media attention. Tebow would bring both.

Exactly my point. I didn't say it would be a good idea or that I even wanted it, but it's not as far fetched as it seems once you analyze it.

If Manning goes to Denver than Denver has an extra "franchise QB" on their hands that will do them no good as a backup. Miami will probably not be able to draft a QB, so there options are stick with Matt Moore or do something stupid like trade a first rounder for Tebow.

Of course, assuming Flynn goes to Seattle.

NO WAY is Tebow a Dolphin this year.  Well maybe, IF we can't find a decent backup QB.

You dont play with fire at the starting QB position. Even if Miami signs Flynn now they clearly don't view him as "the guy" and if Tannehill is there at #8 I expect Miami drafts him to double down at that position. Moore in the final year of his contract would fetch a 6th or 7th round pick probably. Should Miami go with a Flynn/Tannehill combo.

Flynn just signed with Seattle
Alex Smith goes back to SF
Manning goes to Denver

Miami needs a QB.  Tebow will be available via Trade.  Never say Never!

I'd get him if you moved him to a differen position, but I doubt that would fly.
