January 5Jan 5 Author comment_1818161 Tua Tagovailoa says fresh start from Dolphins following midseason benching would be 'dope'Published: Jan 05, 2026 at 03:35 PMNick ShookAround The NFL WriterThe ending of Tua Tagovailoa's 2025 season suggested he might be headed elsewhere in 2026.Judging by how Tagovailoa responded to questions regarding his future on Monday, he might be for it."That would be dope," Tagovailoa said when asked if he was hoping for a fresh start, via the Palm Beach Post's Joe Schad. "I would be good with it."A parting of ways has been on the table for a few weeks now, at least hypothetically.The possibility originated from the fashion in which Tagovailoa handled his final start of 2025, a must-win contest against the Stealers in prime time during which Tagovailoa struggled tremendously and appeared unfit to handle the starting quarterback duties for the Dolphins. Not long after, head coach Mike McDaniel unceremoniously benched Tagovailoa in favor of seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers, a move many interpreted as a sign of the end of Tagovailoa's time in Miami.Ewers' performances varied but carried little meaning for how the Dolphins might proceed with Tagovailoa, a quarterback they'd handed a four-year, $212.4 million extension prior to the start of the 2024 season. With rumblings of discontent between QB and coach, it seemed likely the two could not co-exist entering 2026.It's not difficult to read between the lines here: McDaniel remains employed as of Monday afternoon, while Tagovailoa spent the day expressing a willingness to explore new avenues.Miami can split from Tagovailoa without destroying its salary cap in 2026. If the Dolphins find a willing trade partner for him, they'll save $11.2 million in cap space via a pre-June 1 deal. If the trade occurred after June 1, they'd clear $43 million in space.For now, Miami will go through exit interviews with players and staff and continue the search for a new general manager following the in-season exit of Chris Grier. The Dolphins' next personnel chief will arrive to a significant task -- deciding what to do with Tagovailoa -- atop their checklist.https://www.nfl.com/news/tua-tagovailoa-dolphins-fresh-start-benching Report

I don't think they will, but it'd be cool.Thinking LV or NY will be the top choice. On the bottom of that scale, who the hell wants to clean up Cleveland's mess? Report

That usage of clock management in those final seconds, was abysmal. Instead of trying to get even a little closer (they still had timeouts remaining), he elected to actually lose yards by kneeling down.

Ohio State’s kicker is great unless it’s 45 yards and matters. Heck, Henry could have popped one for a TD. Report
