Before the Dolphins brought Jay Cutler out of retirement, they considered a number of other quarterbacks. In addition to Tim Tebow and Kyle Orton, Miami also internally discussed Teddy Bridgewater of the Vikings, Brock Osweiler of the Browns, and Cardinals QB Blaine Gabbert.

As far as we know the Dolphins didn’t get far enough to reach out to the Vikings about a potential Bridgewater trade and that makes sense considering his murky medical situation. Bridgewater is currently on the PUP list and no one knows what his status will be to start the season. It’s possible that Bridgewater’s gruesome knee injury from 2016 will keep him off the field until 2018. Even then, no one knows what kind of player he will be once he’s ready to return.
Osweiler was mentioned early on as a possibility when Ryan Tannehill suffered his knee injury, but the Browns rejected at least one trade offer for him this offseason and they’re leaning towards starting him in Week 1. The Browns may reconsider that position if the right offer comes their way, but the Dolphins are no longer a potential suitor after landing Cutler.
They considered Tebow over Romo?
Everybody know romo ain’t coming back unless it with the cowboys and that’s only if Dak gets major injury
Isn’t Gabbert on Arizona still?
This story is crap this all made up fan-fiction didn’t call the Vikings meaning they considered it only. Yeah a signed player who is on pup list is not someone that anyone anywhere even thinks about. Grabbert signed 3 months ago so how can they venture to sign someone already signed. Are you really hurting that bad that you have to make up your own ideas here.
The story was obviously about potential trades.
Unless they’re saying they don’t see Tannehill as the long term answer it’s hard for me to see how an injured Bridgewater could even be considered.
I would definitely reach out to Jeff George
I’d go to Vinny Testeverde first.
He’ll, let’s knock the dust off Marino’s arm.
I’m sure Brett Favre would come out of retirement one more time.
Is Johnny Manziel sober enough to show up to training camp?
Coincidentally, I think he’s down there partying on South Beach right now….
Why has Trent Dilfer not been mentioned! I mean seriously…obviously the best candidate out there. Oops…I forgot about Hall of Lamer Matt Hasselback!
