Dolphins extend QB Ryan Tannehill (6 years, $96M; $21.5M guaranteed): A- Grade

It feels strange that Ryan Tannehill would get a $96 million contract with $45 million guaranteed. My first thought was that this was too much, and there are many who agree with that opinion, given that Tannehill has no track record of playoff success in his career. However, after thinking about it, I now believe that this is a fair deal and a quality move by Miami.

Here are a few things to consider: First of all, Tannehill is just 26, and he has gotten better every single year. He threw for 4,045 yards, 27 touchdowns and 12 interceptions in 2014 despite being paired with one of the NFL's least-efficient receivers in Mike Wallace...

Mike Wallace not "efficient"...say it isn't so. And I thought I read on the board that Tannehill was the issue; obviously the Dolphins believe otherwise. Seems that the Dolphins came to the same conclusion as the Steelers. Wallace isn't worth the paycheck (although they were stupid enough to give it to him to begin with). I'm pretty sure the Vikings will come to the same conclusion in short order.

I heard that even though they were able to dump the Wallace contract, Miami is already scheduled to be more than $20 million over the cap next year. Paying your young QB franchise $, while also signing Suh to franchise QB $ can be hazardous to your cap health.

I think the Vikings are only paying him 3 mill this year and Miami is paying 6.6 mill. That is a steal of a deal.

I have no idea what the Vikes agreed to long term but more than likely they won't pay him 11 to 12 mill unless he looks like Randy Moss.

Another team will grab him up and you can make another prediction about how sorry he is while me makes bank.
