Pennington Will Return To Dolphins ‘Barring Something Crazy’

Early indications are that QB Chad Pennington will return to the Miami Dolphins for a third season, according to Edgar Thompson of the Palm Beach Post.

A deal isn’t yet in place and Pennington is set to become a free agent at midnight, but “barring something crazy” he will be back in Miami, the source said.

But Pennington wants to return to Miami, the source said, and the Dolphins have been interested in bringing him back.

Pennington hurt his shoulder (again) in Week 3, which ended his 2009 season.

Chad Henne will man the starting role and if Pennington is willing, he could provide some veteran leadership.

It’s unlikely anyone could count on Pennington to be the opening day starter at this point. His age (34) and track record clearly indicate he’s injury prone and things like injuries usually don’t get better with age.
