Tannehill signs Extension through 2020

Thanks for confirming.

I am not sold on Tannehill, but thankfully NFL contracts aren't guaranteed.

If Tanny can post 2014 numbers while being sacked and pressured constantly, then he would throw for 5,000 yards on the Cowboys.

The best part is that Seattle is going to have to throw huge money at Wilson now, perhaps even causing cap problems for them,

[MikeO]

This is essentially a 2 year deal then its pay as you go with the bulk of the money from 2018-2020 with lots of outs for Miami after 2 years.

I happy for the deal, it gives Tanny less to worry about, he can focus of football and make his offense better. I think His best years are ahead of him. What is going to make Tanny great is a running game. I hope Lamar Miller continues to improve as well. The offense line will have to keep it going as well.  Tanny is an athlete im excited to see what he can do if his progression keeps going up

Uh, a good portion of contracts are guaranteed... by some accounts it seems almost half his contract is guaranteed.

[Dolphster]

I'm glad to see the deal get done.  I was skeptical about Tannehill when they drafted him but he has already exceeded my expectations and I think he is still improving.  Not saying he will be in the Hall of Fame some day, but I think he has the ability to be an excellent QB for a long time.  And I'm happy that he is proving me wrong about him!

I had to leave a sub shop at lunch today because some moron in there was loudly engaging everyone in the place about this.  He went on and on about how the Dolphins will never be any good because they keep throwing tons of money at mediocre players (mentioned Mike Wallace), and Tannehill is horrible and he has never been to the playoffs and never had a winning season.....

I wanted to rip the dude, because he is an idiot, but instead I just left. 

[Thundergod]

I am not sold on Tannehill.

You and I both.

^^^^

Wow, I can't believe somebody agrees with me on something here.

I can't get 2013 out of my head. 

[Spider-Dan]

I think this is Tannehill's year to prove that his ceiling is higher than Andy Dalton or Joe Flacco (and for the record, I see Flacco as the same as Dalton, but with one really good postseason).

[Pappy13]

You and I both.

You're not sold on him in what way? That he can be a top 10 QB or that he'll win multiple MVP titles? I can see not being sold on the multiple MVP titles, but top 10 QB? He was last year for the last half of the year with a lousy offensive line and he still has plenty of room to grow. That's the reason for the contract, because if he continues to improve, he's just gonna cost you more later.

[Tenshot13]

Fyi, he's #6 all time in the league for passing yards in a QBs first 3 years.

[EDGECRUSHER]

He's probably also #1 in getting sacked. Perhaps #2 thanks to David Carr's horrifying rookie season for the Texans.

Keep him on his feet this season and he throws for 4,500 yards. Not a stretch of the imagination considering he threw for 4,000 on his back.
