The Miami Dolphins face uncertainty regarding Tua Tagovailoa’s future as their starting quarterback, with reports suggesting they may be prepared to absorb a $99.2 million cap charge to release him. Options include designating him post-June 1, which would split the cap hit over two years, but could hinder the team’s competitiveness in 2026. Skepticism exists about finding a trade partner, as many teams view his contract as untradeable. Tagovailoa, under a lucrative contract with significant guaranteed money, completed 67.7% of his passes for 2,660 yards in 2025.
