"The one-time franchise quarterback who was given a lucrative contract extension two seasons ago but benched late this season has now indicated he would welcome a change of scenery. Tagovailoa was asked by reporters Monday at the Dolphins' locker cleanout day to cap the 2025 season if he would like a "fresh start." He said: "That would be dope. I would be good with it.""
"Upon the Dolphins' elimination this season with three weeks remaining, Tagovailoa was benched in favor of rookie seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers for the final stretch. He was down to emergency third-string quarterback for each of the three games, with Zach Wilson ahead of him. Tagovailoa, selected by Miami with the No. 5 pick in the 2020 draft, was signed to a four-year $212.4 million contract extension ahead of the 2024 season."
Tua Tagovailoa indicated openness to a fresh start away from the Miami Dolphins after being benched late in the season. He told reporters at the team's locker cleanout that playing for another team "would be dope." The Dolphins benched Tagovailoa with three weeks remaining, elevating rookie Quinn Ewers as starter while Tagovailoa fell to emergency third-string behind Zach Wilson. Tagovailoa was the No. 5 pick in 2020 and signed a four-year, $212.4 million extension before the 2024 season. The Dolphins may seek a trade but could instead release him, creating a significant dead-cap hit.
