MIAMI (CBSMiami/AP) — It’s been a long time since the Miami Dolphins have had stability at the quarterback position, but those days appear to be over.
Ryan Tannehill stopped the Dolphins’ revolving door at quarterback, and on Monday they rewarded him.
Tannehill signed a $77.7 million, four-year extension that keeps him under contract through 2020. He’s the first quarterback to receive an extension from the 2012 draft class that also included the Colts’ Andrew Luck, the Redskins’ Robert Griffin III and the Seahawks’ Russell Wilson.
“We are thrilled that we were able to sign Ryan to an extension,” said Mike Tannenbaum, executive vice president of football operations.
