Don’t look at the on-field stuff as evidence, look at the off-field stuff. Tannehill, who got a $96 million contract extension in May, said he occasionally gets consulted on transactions.
“They’ve been great to me this offseason as far as communication through free agency, through the team last year,” Tannehill said during last week’s minicamp.
“Obviously, the contract is huge. (But) they put their money where their mouth is, so to speak, with the contract and really taking my viewpoint and my thoughts on things throughout the offseason.
