Dolphins trade quarterback Ryan Tannehill

March 15, 2019

The Ryan Tannehill era in Miami is officially over, as the Dolphins announced they have traded their former franchise quarterback and a 2019 sixth-round pick to the Tennessee Titans for a 2019 seventh-round pick and a 2020 fourth-round pick.

Tannehill was the Dolphins former first-round pick (eighth overall) in the 2012 NFL draft.

“We would like to thank Ryan for his commitment to the Miami Dolphins over the last seven seasons,” said Dolphins General Manager Chris Grier. “Ryan is a tireless worker who always put the team first. We wish him the best with the next step of his career.”

Tannehill will likely play a backup role to current Titans starting quarterback Marcus Mariota.

Tannehill started 88 career games for the Dolphins over the past seven seasons (2012-18). He completed 1,829-of-2,911 passes (62.8 pct.) for 20,434 yards and 123 touchdowns. Tannehill is the team’s all-time leading rusher by a quarterback with 1,210 rushing yards. His 62.8 completion percentage and 87.0 passer rating are both second all-time in Dolphins history.
