Geno Smith Prefers to Sign with Dolphins

Monday, March 9, 6:00 AM

With Geno Smith being released by the Las Vegas Raiders, the veteran quarterback will now be in search of his third team in as many seasons, and according to NFL reporter Connor Hughes, his preferred destination this time around is with the Miami Dolphins. The Dolphins have ties to free agent Malik Willis through new general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley, though the market for Willis' services is expected to be robust. The 35-year-old Smith, who grew up in South Florida, is coming off one of the worst seasons of his career, going 2-13 with the Raiders, while throwing a league-high 17 interceptions. However, with weak quarterback classes in both free agency and the draft, he could find multiple suitors on the open market.

Cameron Ward "Recovering Well" From Shoulder Injury

Friday, February 20, 6:31 PM

Tennessee Titans quarterback Cameron Ward (shoulder) is "recovering well" from his right-shoulder AC sprain that he suffered in the Week 18 regular-season finale, according to Cameron Wolfe of the NFL Network. Ward has been working with the team's quarterbacks coach on his lower body, and the plan is for him to resume throwing the football in March. Before he resumes throwing, the Titans want to work on the former first overall pick's base after he picked up some bad habits in his rookie season. The 23-year-old is excited to work with new offensive coordinator Brian Daboll and believes he'll allow him to be the playmaker he was in college at the University of Miami. Wolfe says that Daboll and Ward hit it off during the pre-draft process last year, and Daboll tried to trade up to get Ward as the Giants' head coach. Time will tell if Daboll will help in Ward's development. He predictably struggled in Year 1 in a Tennessee offense without many high-end weapons. Going into Year 2, Ward will be a low-end QB2 target in fantasy with upside.
