With the Miami Dolphins<\/a> making major changes to their roster already this offseason, it’s only a matter of time before Tua Tagovailoa’s future is decided.<\/p>\n

Miami is set to have a new quarterback in 2026, and while they could acquire a veteran, adding a young QB to take a flier on seems like the best idea for the Dolphins.<\/p>\n

Bleacher Report’s Alex Ballentine<\/a> proposed one fascinating trade for the Dolphins. This would have new GM Jon-Eric Sullivan sending their 2026 third-round pick to the Seattle Seahawks<\/a> for rookie QB Jalen Milroe.<\/p>\n

Dolphins trade idea lands Jalen Milroe as Tua Tagovalioa’s replacement<\/p>\n

“Dolphins Receive: QB Jalen Milroe. Seahawks Receive: 2026 third-round pick (No. 75),” Ballentine proposes.<\/p>\n

This trade idea from Ballentine would be a great way for the Dolphins to land an intriguing young quarterback without spending much money.<\/p>\n

Even after the Dolphins cut Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb, the team’s cap space is in a bad spot. Sullivan needs to get creative in building this roster.<\/p>\n

While Malik Willis reuniting with his Green Bay Packers<\/a> alumni in Sullivan and new Dolphins head coach Jeff Halfley seems like the perfect fit, the Dolphins’ cap situation might make such a signing difficult to make work.<\/p>\n

Instead, the Dolphins could send a draft pick to the Seahawks for Milroe, a rookie quarterback who has intriguing upside after being drafted out of Alabama in the third-round of the 2025 NFL Draft.<\/p>\n

He threw for 2,834 yards and 23 touchdowns with six interceptions, with 531 rushing yard sand 12 touchdowns on the ground in 2023 with Alabama.<\/p>\n

Then in 2024, Milroe ran for 727 yards and 20 rushing touchdowns to go with 2,844 passing yards and 16 touchdowns. The issue was that he had 11 interceptions.<\/p>\n

Similar to Willis, Milroe has some intriguing dual-threat ability that’s worth taking a chance on. Seattle doesn’t need Milroe after Sam Darnold led them to a Super Bowl title.<\/p>\n

But Seattle would likely need something good in return for Milroe, who’s under contract for three more seasons on a very cheap deal.<\/p>\n

Milroe would be the perfect quarterback for the Dolphins next season, and going forward as they deal with restricted cap space thanks to Tagovailoa.<\/p>\n

This trade idea from Ballentine is a fascinating one, and would be a fun way for Sullivan to replace Tagovailoa for the 2026 season and beyond.<\/p>\n
