@ProFootballTalk Dolphins and Ryan Tannehill agree to terms, per league source.
Schefter as well.
@AdamSchefter Dolphins and Ryan Tannehill have reached agreeenent. He's now reporting.
The four-year deal will include a club option for a fifth, as is the case with all first-round contracts. Per Florio’s source, the Dolphins made some concessions, but ultimately Tannehill was unwilling to miss a significant amount of practice time. The Tannehill camp did not get offset language fully removed from the deal.

He missed 2 days of camp, it will take years for him to come up to speed. OMG, what will we do, maybe we can draft that kid from USC.....lol
No word on who caved in first.

schefter with the typo
ckparrotheadStaffSchefter says Tannehill was unwilling to keep missing more camp over the offset language issue, but the Dolphins made concessions in order to make it more palatable. I'm wondering what those concessions are. If they amount to about half a mil worth of direct or indirect benefits then I'd say this was the Dolphins caving on the offset language issue while still saving face. It's the dilemma that Muck described. Now that Tannehill has missed time, if the Dolphins just suddenly dropped the offset language issue they'd lose a heavy amount of face, look incompetent. The best way to go about things would therefore be to make concessions that make the offset issue moot.

Why, in today's game the QB is off limits...lol
Rocky RaccoonStaffSo, it sounds like a compromise?
Either way, this is great news. Welcome aboard, Mr. Tannehill. Now get to work and brighten our future!
rafaelForum VeteranThey had to get this done. The team was looking foolish (again). It's ridiculous that he missed even one day, but it could have been a lot worse.

True, I don't think anything makes me more mad then a drive continuing after a bullsh!t 3rd down "roughing the passer" call because he
pushed him after he threw it. Like the one called on YB last year which almost resulted in a TD against the jets.
Paul 13StaffA league source told Florio on Saturday evening that the Dolphins and Tannehill have agreed to terms on a contract. The four-year deal will include a club option for a fifth, as is the case with all first-round contracts. Per Florio’s source, the Dolphins made some concessions, but ultimately Tannehill was unwilling to miss a significant amount of practice time. The Tannehill camp did not get offset language fully removed from the deal.
both sides moved... good news!!

ckparrotheadStaffKudos to the Dolphins for finding the right solution out of the mess they backed themselves into. As Muck had already described, by letting this get to the point where Tannehill missed four practices (two full practices, two walk throughs) they backed themselves into a corner. If they had suddenly dropped the demand for offsets then they look weak/incompetent and it hurts their negotiating position in future contract dealings. Therefore, the only way for the Dolphins to grease things back into action would be to make concessions that probably nullify the value of the offset language.

MrCleanSupporterHe's probably suffered irreparable harm from this traumatizing experience, so will end up flopping at QB, get moved to WR and we draft Matt Barkley from the University of Spoiled Children next year. :shifty:

Blame the owners for that.
