Replace Tua Tagovailoa (probably)
While nothing is official yet, all signs are pointing to the Dolphins’ new regime — namely GM Jon-Eric Sullivan and head coach Jeff Hafley — moving on from Tua Tagovailoa this offseason. The six-year starter saw good-not-great production deteriorate into 15 interceptions and a losing record (6-8) in 2025, with 12 of those interceptions coming on downfield passes (10+ air yards), most in the league. It seems Miami is now ready to take the risk of terrible over the “safety” of eight to nine wins and an early playoff exit. They promoted pass game coordinator Bobby Slowik to OC and hired former Eagles OC Kevin Patullo to fill Slowik’s vacancy, but that doesn’t reveal much about their plans considering the differences in approach by both offenses last year — for example, the Dolphins used the second-most pre-snap motion and the Eagles used the fourth-least, per NFL Pro. Also, the options for a successor are thin: if Daniel Jones returns to Indy, the top free-agent QB is Malik Willis, and if Fernando Mendoza goes to Las Vegas, the rest of the 2026 QB class is less than inspiring.
