The Miami Dolphins have announced the release of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, marking the end of a six-year run in Miami. The move comes amid a sweeping reset within the organization, which has already parted ways with several high-profile players and installed an entirely new leadership structure.
The Dolphins have hired former Green Bay Packers defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley as head coach and paired him with first-year general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan. The changes have also included major roster decisions, with the release of two-time Pro Bowl edge rusher Bradley Chubb and eight-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Tyreek Hill.
According to multiple reports, the Atlanta Falcons are already preparing to pursue Tagovailoa once he becomes officially available. If he lands with the Falcons, Tagovailoa would enter a quarterback competition with left-handed starter Michael Penix Jr.
The Dolphins still owe Tagovailoa $54 million in guaranteed money for the upcoming season, which could make him an attractive option for another team on a minimum contract.
Meanwhile, the New York Jets have strengthened their secondary ahead of the start of NFL free agency, striking a deal to acquire veteran safety Minkah Fitzpatrick from the Miami Dolphins.
