MIAMI (AP) — Miami Dolphins might not last long.After all Miami Dolphins Jerseys Stitched , they are his eighth team. And for now, at least, he is glad to be their starting quarterback.“I’m going to come in from day one and act like and be the starting quarterback for this organization, until they tell me I’m not,” Fitzpatrick said Tuesday, one day after signing a two-year, $11 million deal.He replaces the departed Ryan Tannehill and becomes a caretaker until the Dolphins draft a franchise quarterback, perhaps next month but more likely in 2020.Most of the Dolphins’ offseason moves under new coach Brian Flores have positioned them for a poor season, followed by a high draft pick and big splash in free agency next year. In choosing to sign with the Dolphins, Fitzpatrick said he was not fazed by their bleak immediate outlook.“I’ve been in pretty much every situation you can imagine in my career,” he said. “There are 32 of these starting gigs in the NFL, and this is one of them. The opportunity to be one of those 32 guys is an amazing privilege and honor. When they approached me about signing on, I was so excited about the chance to get on the field and play.”This year Fitzpatrick Chandler Cox Jersey nfl draft , 36, could become the first quarterback to throw a pass for eight teams. Always plagued by inconsistency, he started seven games for Tampa Bay last season and had four 400-yard passing games before losing the No. 1 job to Jameis Winston.His average of 9.6 yards per attempt for the year was the NFL’s highest since Kurt Warner in 2000, and he said he is eager to keep playing.“I’ve been very fortunate,” he said. “Physically I feel great. For having a 14-year career and as many games as I’ve played, physically I feel probably as good as I could ever hope for.”Fitzpatrick, who has seven children, is changing teams for the fifth time since 2013, but he’s not sorry about all the moving.“I’ve loved it,” he said. “As a family we’ve looked at it as an adventure every time we’ve moved. We’ve had such a great time with it, meeting new people. The friendships we’ve made have truly been amazing for us. It’s not something I would change.”Despite the latest relocation, to sometimes steamy South Florida, Fitzpatrick said he will keep his trademark beard. It made it through two seasons in Tampa Super Bowl Chandler Cox Jersey , which is nearly as hot.His new teammates include safety Minkah Fitzpatrick, who last season filed for a federal trademark of the nickname “FitzMagic.” The Dolphins’ new QB also has that nickname but does not anticipate any issues.“I haven’t talked to or met Minkah yet,” Ryan said. “First we’ve got to figure out if we’re related. But I think there’s plenty of magic to go around.” The Dolphins are looking for a cornerback to pair with star Xavien Howard. Will it be Eric Rowe?"The Miami Dolphins are in need of upgrades all over the roster as the team looks to rebuild following a string of mediocre seasons, and the cornerback position is no exception when it comes to requiring a boost.Despite being relatively inactive in free agency this offseason as Miami looks to hoard cap space while looking ahead towards the future, the team did sign Eric Rowe to a one-year $3.5 million contract. Rowe, a former member of the New England Patriots, has familiarity with new Dolphins head coach Brian Flores and his system.Dolphins general manager Chris Grier mentioned at the NFL Owners Meeting in Arizona this week that Rowe has “a shot” to compete for the number two cornerback spot across from Xavien Howard. Howard is a virtual lock to begin the season atop the cornerback depth chart given his ascension to the upper echelon of NFL defensive backs last season and his recent bid to the Pro Bowl.Rowe, just 26-years old, sits at 6’1” and 205 lbs, a solid stature for a potential starting outside corner. He’s started just 17 games over his four years in the NFL, but has shown flashes of being a capable contributor on the boundary.Last season, he lost the starting cornerback job in New England to Jason McCourty, who then played the majority of the season as the team’s number two cornerback across from Stephon Gilmore.For Rowe to bounce back from last year’s disappointing finish Football Chandler Cox Jersey , he’ll have to contend with a litany of other players that Miami has on the roster. Behind Howard on the Dolphins cornerback depth chart currently sit former third-round draft pick Cordrea Tankersley, special teams ace Walt Aikens, Cornell Armstrong, Jalen Davis, Dee Delaney, Torry McTyer, and Jomal Wiltz. Bobby McCain also started some games for the Dolphins on the boundary last season, but with first-round draft pick Minkah Fitzpatrick set to play more at the free safety position, McCain will likely be the team’s starting nickel corner once again.
