Ideal landing spots for NFL’s top free agents after Titans release Jamal Adams | News, results, highlights, statistics and rumors

There’s a real chance quarterback Ryan Tannehill doesn’t find a home in 2024, which could mean we never see him on an NFL field again.

ProFootballTalk’s Mike Florio reported on September 15 that the 36-year-old was looking for an opportunity to start the remainder of the season.

At the moment such a situation does not clearly exist. The Miami Dolphins are the closest, as starter Tua Tagovailoa remains on injured reserve due to a concussion, but the team expects to see him again this season.

“As far as the schedule goes, I know he’s not playing this week,” head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters on Monday. “And I expect to see him playing football in 2024.”

However, it would be unfair to leave Tannehill off our list as he has been the best veteran QB available since the start of the first wave of free agency. He has 151 starts and helped the Titans reach the playoffs three times in his five seasons.

A return to the Dolphins, who took Tannehill in the first round of the 2012 draft, would make sense if Tagovailoa were to stay off the field for the rest of the year due to setbacks.

The 2019 Pro Bowler was also expected to be the first free agent call-up for a playoff contender who loses their starter to a season-ending injury.
