Blaine Gabbert served as Mariota's back-up last season. Gabbert was informed on Friday he'll be released by the team.
The Titans sent a seventh-round pick in the 2019 draft and a fourth-round pick in the 2020 draft to the Dolphins for Tannehill and a sixth-round pick in the 2019 draft.

He also ranks second all-time on Miami's career passer rating list, behind only Pennington (94.5) and ahead of Dan Marino (86.4).
