Dolphins GM Keeps Tua Future Open: Trade or Release Possible

Dolphins general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan told reporters at the NFL scouting combine that everything’s on the table for quarterback Tua Tagovailoa—including a potential trade or a post-June 1 release with a heavy dead-cap hit—though Tagovailoa’s camp has not requested a trade. He also discussed Malik Willis as a QB option, noted ongoing trade conversations for Minkah Fitzpatrick, and touched on other roster moves (Waddle extension, Tyreek Hill, Darren Waller retirement chatter, Achane extension) with a plan to draft using a best-player-available mindset rather than quick fixes.

Dolphins Weigh Trading Tua as QB Market Heats Up

Dolphins Weigh Trading Tua as QB Market Heats Up

Miami is weighing moves for Tua Tagovailoa—release, trade, or keep—with the same overall cost but a much lighter dead-cap hit for another team. Because his salary is attractive to others, several QB-needy franchises (Cardinals, Browns, Falcons, Colts, Steelers) could offer a mid-round pick to add a starter at little cap risk. Miami’s hurdle is absorbing less dead money, a goal owner Stephen Ross wants to minimize, possibly timing a deal around the NFL Combine or after June 1 to spread the hit. The move would be significant though not blockbuster, signaling a swift pivot for Miami.

Ex-Cop Celebrates Tyreek Hill's Dolphins Exit With Savage Facebook Post

Retired Miami-Dade police officer Danny Torres, who pulled Tyreek Hill over in 2024, celebrated Hill's February 2026 release from the Dolphins with a savage Facebook post calling him an 'entitled A-SHOLE' and saying he hopes Hill can cover his child support; Torres later told the Miami New Times he was 'pretty much crucified for doing my job.' The piece notes the 2024 stop involved body-camera footage, administrative leave for the officers, and that Hill's traffic citations were dropped after hearings were missed.

Dolphins mull $99.2M cap hit to move on from Tua in 2026

Dolphins mull $99.2M cap hit to move on from Tua in 2026

Miami faces a key decision on Tua Tagovailoa: absorb a $99.2 million dead-money cap hit in 2026 or spread it via a post‑June 1 designation (roughly $55.4M in 2026 and $43.8M in 2027). With 2026 projected cap around $301–$306 million, the full hit would consume about a third of space. Some view taking the full hit now as a 'soft tank' to clear Tagovailoa by 2027, while releasing him without the split would lock in all dead money in 2026 and complicate roster building this year.

Dolphins Part Ways With Tyreek Hill, Jump-Starting a High-Profile WR Free Agency

Miami is releasing Tyreek Hill after the 2025 season, making him a free agent in 2026 since he was due $35 million with a $5 million roster bonus. Hill, who turns 32 in March, could still be productive if healthy, and several teams—most notably the Kansas City Chiefs—are expected to gauge his value, along with others like the Chargers, Bills, Ravens, Steelers, Packers, Jets, Patriots, and Seahawks as the wide receiver market heats up.

Marino nudges Dolphins to add QB competition while keeping Tua in the mix

Dan Marino says the Dolphins should introduce competition at quarterback to push Tua Tagovailoa but not write him off, stressing that the new coaching staff will evaluate all options while Tua remains on the roster. He notes Tua’s past excellence and current concussion-era concerns, acknowledges the AFC East’s toughness, and suggests Miami may pursue external options or a Tua–Ewers pairing rather than a quick trade or release due to salary-cap realities.

Dolphins set for 2026 reset with Tua Tagovailoa move

NFL Network insiders say the Miami Dolphins plan to move on from quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in 2026, likely via trade or release before the new league year. A trade would require the Dolphins to absorb a large portion of his guaranteed salary and incur a hefty dead-cap hit, while a cut would spread nearly $100 million in dead cap over the next two years, with Tyreek Hill’s status potentially influencing the plan under the new regime.
