5 potential trade destinations for Tony Romo

3. Miami Dolphins

The Dolphins signed Ryan Tannehill to a six-year, $96 million contract in May of 2015, but his level of play hardly justifies salaries which will continue to climb over the next four seasons. The team does have the potential to cut ties after this season though, with the guaranteed money in the deal drying up and contract essentially becoming a year-to-year proposition.

First-year head coach Adam Gase was hired in part to help accelerate Tannehill’s development curve, but to this point in the season that has not happened (eight touchdown passes, seven interceptions). Bringing in an upgrade, or at least some viable competition for the starting job, could be on the Dolphins’ offseason radar.

Romo would stand out as one of the top available quarterbacks next offseason, regardless of his age or (especially) his recent injury history. If the Dolphins do seriously look to add a quarterback, one way or another, they could be in the mix to trade for Romo.
