One-year contract worth $10 M

He’s back: QB Jay Cutler is coming back. Sources say he’s agreed to sign with the Dolphins. (NFL.com – Ian Rapoport)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Ryan Tannehill will almost certainly miss half the season – if not all of it – after reinjuring his knee last Thursday. Cutler reunites with HC Adam Gase, who guided the quarterback to his most efficient season while both were with the Chicago Bears in 2015. It’s good news for the fantasy fortunes of DeVante Parker and Kenny Stills as well, as Cutler has a strong arm. Cutler figures to be little more than an uninspiring QB2 in fantasy this season, however.

Ravens need depth at position

Nerdy Football Analysis: The Ravens have been hit hard at the tight end position this off-season losing Dennis Pitta (hip) and recently Crockett Gillmore (knee) to injury. Donnell offers positional depth behind Ben Watson, Max Williams and Nick Boyle. The starter of this group holds TE2 value but all have giant question marks and can be avoided until a frontrunner emerges.

Carson Palmer has new backup

In case of emergency, Blaine Gabbert.

That’s who the Cardinals will be able to turn to — if something unfortunate happens to Carson Palmer — after they sign the quarterback to a one-year deal, which they intend to do on Thursday, NFL Network Insider Ian Rapoport reported, per a source informed of the situation. (NFL.com)

Nerdy Football Analysis: Drew Stanton is still in Arizona but will have competition as Carson Palmer’s backup. Gabbert threw 5 TDs and 6 INTs in six games last season for San Francisco with a 57 competition percentage.
