Packers Viewed as Landing Spot for Former Dolphins 4,000-Yard QB

There are still potential impact free agents on the market, including former Miami Dolphins quarterback Ryan Tannehill. Tannehill, who dealt with an injury and was replaced by Will Levis as the Tennessee Titans starter, could be a valuable backup at this point in his career. David Kenyon of Bleacher Report listed potential landing spots for the former 4,000-yard quarterback, including the Green Bay Packers.

“The best days of Ryan Tannehill’s career are in the past. At this stage of his career, he’s basically a stopgap option for a non-contender or a useful veteran as a backup. Neither role is glamorous, but they’re important nevertheless,” Kenyon wrote in his April 28 column exploring the 10 best free agents available after the 2024 draft. “The draft has effectively filled any starting vacancy around the league, so Tannehill basically has two choices: embrace a second-string spot or wait for some team to lose its starter to an injury.”

The Chicago Bears and Detroit Lions were also listed as landing spots. Kenyon wrote that having a veteran backup for Jordan Love could “benefit” the Packers.

“Otherwise, the Detroit Lions and Green Bay Packers could benefit from a veteran behind Jared Goff and Jordan Love, respectively.”
