The Miami Dolphins are reportedly ‘exploring all their options’ and could move on from Tua Tagovailoa ahead of the 2023 NFL season.
Tagovailoa - the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft - enjoyed the best year of his career to date last season, leading the league in passer rating (105.5) to become the first Dolphins quarterback to do so since the legendary Dan Marino back in 1984. However, the 25-year-old was limited to just 13 games as he struggled with concussions while the Dolphins finished with a 9-8 record before crashing out in the first round of the playoffs.
The former Alabama quarterback is under contract for the 2023 season at a rate of $9.6million but Miami must decide on whether they will trigger his fifth-year option for 2024 by May 1. This is usually followed by a long-term contract, but - given Tagovailoa’s injury history - the Dolphins could search for different opportunities.
