The Miami Dolphins made a statement this offseason entrusting the franchise’s 2022 hopes with Tua Tagovailoa at quarterback.
They steered away from the pursuit of Deshaun Watson — or any other high-level quarterback — that surrounded the organization from the previous offseason through last year’s trade deadline. Although, if Tom Brady would’ve wanted to unretire in Miami and come to town packaged with Sean Payton as coach before former coach Brian Flores filed his lawsuit, who knows what would’ve happened?
Regardless of how we got here, the point is the Dolphins are giving Tagovailoa his chance at a third NFL season with the team after he’s had some ups and downs over his first two years.
