With beginning quarterback Tua Tagovailoa out for the foreseeable future, it was inevitable that the Miami Dolphins would herald one other veteran quarterback. Right here’s a direct quote from Mike McDaniel throughout his September thirteenth press convention.
“I feel the way in which to greatest articulate the place we’re at is the group and the group are very assured in Skylar (Thompson) and see there was a cause he was our backup quarterback. That being stated, we’ll herald somebody. We’re simply evaluating the professionals and cons for the completely different conditions and getting via all these potentialities to do one of the best factor for the group, however because it stands at the moment, I’m anticipating that Skylar is the following man up.”
Right now, after a couple of days of weighing the professionals and cons, the Dolphins did precisely what McDaniel stated they’d—including 26-year-old Tyler ‘Snoop’ Huntley from the Baltimore Ravens follow squad. NFL Community’s Tom Pelissero was the primary to report the signing.

Huntley, 26, has a 3-6 profession document as a beginning QB within the NFL. Throughout his 4 seasons with the Ravens, he accomplished 221 of 342 passes for eight touchdowns and 7 interceptions. Huntley was with the Cleveland Browns earlier within the preseason however re-signed with the Ravens earlier than the beginning of the 2024 NFL season.
He’ll now be on the Dolphins 53-man roster for not less than three weeks. Nonetheless, as McDaniel touched on throughout a latest presser, he plans to have three quarterbacks on the roster transferring ahead. The query now could be, can Thompson maintain onto the beginning job? Or ought to we count on Huntley to supplant him when caught up with the playbook?
I lean towards the latter, however with three years of familiarity with McDaniel’s offense, Thompson could have each alternative to show he’s prepared. Very like Huntley could have each probability to show he’s the higher NFL QB as soon as he turns into acquainted with Miami’s high-octane offense.
