""We need to get the quarterback situation in place, but we're not going to do it in an irresponsible manner where we sacrifice building the infrastructure of this football team," he said. "So that when we do find our guy, he can be successful. We've all seen teams that go about it maybe in a questionable manner and you get a really good quarterback, but he can't stay healthy because he's getting killed or he doesn't have anybody to throw to.""
""So yes, we will find our guy, but we're going to make sure that we're building the infrastructure along the way so when we do find our trigger man -- whoever that may be, whether it's Tua, Quinn [Ewers] or somebody that's not in the building -- we have a team that he can go play and win with.""
Miami will prioritize building supporting infrastructure before making a definitive quarterback decision to ensure long-term health and success for the position. The organization intends to avoid rushing into a quarterback choice that sacrifices offensive line protection, receiving weapons, or overall roster balance. Quarterback options under consideration include returning starter Tua Tagovailoa, rookie Quinn Ewers, or an external addition. Tagovailoa finished the 2025 season with a career-high 15 interceptions and failed to exceed 200 passing yards in eight of 14 games, and he was benched late in the season for Ewers.
