Dolphins re-signed QB Matt Moore to a two-year, $8 million contract.
The move further dilutes a wafer-thin QB market, leaving the likes of David Garrard, Chase Daniel, and Jason Campbell atop what's left. Considering the 2013 draft class, there's never been a worse time to need a quarterback. While it's fair to question Moore for spurning a likely camp competition elsewhere for clipboard toting, the deal makes him one of the league's better paid backups. He'll be collecting $4 million a year, living in South Florida, and not taking hits to the head so long as franchise passer Ryan Tannehill stays healthy. After the deal expires in two years, Moore could reenter free agency at age 31. Mar 8 - 8:36 AM

The NFL's Weekend Window for teams to negotiate with player reps begins on Saturday at midnight.

So, Friday night if you'll be burning midnight oil with Rotoworld. (We'll be up all night long, baby.) The window extends until 3:59PM ET on Tuesday, at which point teams can formally sign players. During the Weekend Window, players cannot make club-facility visits, and only reps for unrestricted free agents -- not RFAs -- are allowed to negotiate. We don't expect an overwhelming amount of hard news over the weekend, but plenty of buzz should emanate.

Mike Jurecki of XTRA Phoenix is "hearing" the Browns may have interest in free agent Matt Moore.

New Cleveland OC Norv Turner is a known fan of Moore, and the Cleveland Plain Dealer has repeatedly called Moore a stopgap option for the Browns' quarterback position. NFL free agents can commence formal negotiations with teams on March 9, and sign beginning on March 12. Moore is the top free-agent QB available.

Dolphins OC Mike Sherman called free agent Matt Moore "five times last week alone" in an effort to encourage Moore back to Miami.

The Dolphins want Moore back "badly," but it's unrealistic to think he'll re-sign unless Moore simply decides he wants to hold a clipboard. (Marc Bulger, Kyle Orton, and Billy Volek have done that in recent years.) We still expect Moore to pursue an opportunity to start, and teams like Cleveland, Arizona, and the Jets could give him a much more realistic chance than Miami.

Cleveland Plain Dealer columnist Terry Pluto "guesses" that the Browns will sign Matt Moore if they sign a free agent quarterback this offseason.

He admits it's "just a guess," but Pluto is more plugged in than most newspaper columnists and is a respected NFL mind. The prediction also jibes with a recent Miami Herald report that new Browns OC Norv Turner is a "big fan" of Moore. If the Browns signed Moore, he'd immediately become the favorite to start over Brandon Weeden. Cleveland would likely also draft a quarterback.

The Palm Beach Post says free agent Matt Moore "could fetch" a two- or three-year deal at $5 million per season.

Moore is hitting the free agent market at the right time. If we remove Joe Flacco's name from the list, Moore is the top free-agent quarterback available. Moore is reportedly looking for a team that will allow him to compete for the starting job, and is closer to his home in California. The Post mentions the Cardinals and Jets as the top suitors, along with the Browns, Bills, and Vikings.

Matt Moore - QB - Dolphins

According to the Miami Herald, new Browns offensive coordinator Norv Turner is a "big fan" of impending free agent Matt Moore.

Turner has never coached Moore, but Norv's Chargers were believed to be among the teams interested in Moore just after the 2011 NFL lockout. Instead of backing up Philip Rivers, Moore signed a two-year deal with the Dolphins for a better chance to start. The Dolphins want Moore back to hold the clipboard for Ryan Tannehill, but the Browns could offer a chance for legitimate playing time.

The New York Post mentions impending free agent Matt Moore as a possibility for the Jets.

The Post also names veteran free agents Tarvaris Jackson, Jason Campbell, and David Garrard as options to battle Mark Sanchez. Moore is the youngest of the quartet, and is regarded as one of the best backup signal callers in the league.

Dolphins GM Jeff Ireland told impending free agent Matt Moore "you always have a job in Miami."

Moore is expected to test the open market in hopes of competing for a starting job. If that doesn't pan out, he can always return as Ryan Tannehill's backup.

According to the Miami Herald, impending free agent Matt Moore will seek a starting job.

In other words, he's not looking to make like Kyle Orton and nab the best job in sports, backup quarterback. With nearly a third of the league in search of new signal callers, Moore may well land a starting gig on the open market. However, it would be stunning if he signed as anything other than a bridge quarterback to a younger player.

Matt Moore - QB - Dolphins

Free agent Matt Moore has informed the Dolphins that he plans to test the open market barring an "incredible offer" from Miami.

He won't get an incredible offer from the Fins, so free agency it will be. Moore, 28, recorded a 16:9 TD-to-INT ratio, 7.2 YPA, and 60.5 completion rate across 12 starts in 2011. Although he is better suited to a backup role, there are enough QB-needy teams around the NFL that Moore should generate interest.

Matt Moore is listed on the Dolphins' Week 9 injury report with a calf injury, but is practicing in full.

The fact that Moore practiced fully suggests this injury is not a concern for his Week 9 status. However, most signs are pointing to Ryan Tannehill (knee, quad) starting on Sunday against the Colts after the rookie was limited in practice on Wednesday.

Matt Moore completed 11-of-19 passes for 131 yards and a touchdown in Sunday's win over the Jets.

With Ryan Tannehill (knee, quad) leaving early in the first quarter, Moore managed the game effectively and didn't force any turnovers. He could be in line for a spot start if Tannehill is unable to play next week. Moore is strictly a veteran backup and hasn't started since Week 1 of the preseason.

The Dolphins have reportedly received multiple phone calls from teams looking to trade for QB Matt Moore.

With David Garrard (knee) nearing a return, GM Jeff Ireland would probably love to get a draft pick for Moore. Keep an eye on Denver and Kansas City, as the Broncos and Chiefs have a desperate need for a veteran backups. Broncos OC Mike McCoy worked with Moore in Carolina while Chiefs OC Brian Daboll called his plays last season.

Matt Moore - QB - Dolphins

Matt Moore completed 5-of-15 passes for 57 yards in the Dolphins' Friday night preseason game against the Panthers.

Moore's preseason stats stand at 12-of-27 (44.4 percent) for 136 yards (5.04 YPA), no touchdowns and an interception. Ryan Tannehill fell back a bit Friday after a tremendous exhibition opener, but it's not going to matter if Moore continues to play this poorly. He struggled against Panthers second- and third-team defenders in this one. Moore isn't helping his trade stock, either.
