Colin Kaepernick, Tim Tebow Reportedly Discussed by Dolphins Before Jay Cutler

The Miami Dolphins reportedly discussed signing Colin Kaepernick and Tim Tebow before ultimately deciding to add quarterback Jay Cutler on Sunday.

According to Armando Salguero of the Miami Herald, Kaepernick and Tebow were among the signal-callers Miami considered signing "before discarding for multiple reasons."

Ian Rapoport of NFL.com and Adam Schefter of ESPN reported the Dolphins and Cutler agreed to terms on a deal following Ryan Tannehill's knee injury. Rapoport noted Cutler's one-year contract included $5 million in base salary, $5 million in bonuses and as much as an additional $3 million in incentives.
