Description

The Miami Dolphins have made a significant move, benching quarterback Tua Tagovailoa in favor of rookie Quinn Ewers. This decision comes after a tough loss to the Steelers and raises questions about the teams future at the quarterback position. The move is financially complex, with Tagovailoas fifty-four million dollar guaranteed salary for the 2026 season and a staggering ninety-nine million dollars in dead money if hes cut. The team also received bad news with Minkah Fitzpatricks calf injury, making him week-to-week. The larger story is about the massive financial commitment to Tagovailoa and how it will shape the teams decisions moving forward.
