Chad Pennington who was let off by the New York Jets after the signing of Favre has now been signed by Miami Dolphins for a 2 year deal. An insider reported that the deal was worth $11.5 million, though the Dolphins have not announced it publically yet. Chad Pennington struggled last season with the Jets going 1-7 as starter and was benched from week 8 onwards.
