MIAMI — It is time to address not the elephant in the room but the gazelle.
The rumors and speculation linking the Miami Dolphins and Lamar Jackson, the fleet and perhaps available quarterback — they are persistent, give ‘em that. They percolate in the background, but close enough to see and hear.
I know. Shake your head, roll eyes and here-we-go-again, right? I get it. I have spent the past three years advocating that Tua Tagovailoa is good and worth an investment of faith even as the Dolphins made ill-fated, shadow efforts to woo first Deshaun Watson and then Tom Brady behind Tagovailoa’s back while he struggled off and on his first two seasons.
