The Splash Zone 6/16/18: Adam Gase Undecided On Backup Quarterback

David Fales has been having quite an offseason. He was able to showcase his skills in the final game of the 2017 season against the Buffalo Bills, re-signed with the team, and is probably going to be Ryan Tannehill’s backup this year.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
