The Titans also signed Tannehill to a one-year contract. Sources told NFL Network the Dolphins sent a sixth round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft, along with Tannehill, to the Titans in exchange for a seventh round pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and a fourth round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Tannehill's deal is for $7 million and is fully guaranteed. The total value of the contract can escalate to more than $12 million based on his playing time and other incentives.

After missing out on several free agent quarterbacks this off-season, the Dolphins are expected to select a quarterback in the 2019 NFL Draft.
