Tua's Next Chapter: Where Will the Quarterback Land?

Tua Tagovailoa's future in the NFL is up in the air. The Miami Dolphins seem ready to move on, and other teams are eyeing him as a potential addition. Tua has shown flashes of brilliance, but his struggles under pressure are well-documented.

Pressure Points

When things go wrong, Tua often freezes. He doesn't have the mobility of quarterbacks like Josh Allen or Lamar Jackson. This has led to criticism, with former Dolphins cornerback Xavien Howard noting that Tua tends to panic when his first read is covered.

Coaching Struggles

The Dolphins have tried to coach him through these issues, but so far, their efforts haven't paid off. Maybe a new coaching staff can help Tua improve. Several teams are in the market for a veteran quarterback, including the Jets, Steelers, Browns, Raiders, Vikings, Falcons, and Cardinals.

Potential Moves

If the Dolphins release Tua, he could sign with another team for the veteran minimum. This would be a low-risk, high-reward move for a team willing to take a chance on him. Alternatively, a trade could be possible, even if the Dolphins have to cover part of his salary.

The Big Question

Tua's $53.1 million per year contract shows that he has talent. Some team will likely give him a shot, hoping to unlock his potential. But can he overcome his struggles under pressure? That's the big question.
