Dolphins Cut Tua, Follow Broncos' Bold Rebuild

0:00On March 9, the Miami Dolphins are set to cut quarterback Tua Taglavae Loa with a post-June first designation, absorbing a record $99 million dollars in deadcap money. That tops the previous high of $85 million dollars the Denver Broncos took when they parted ways with Russell Wilson. Back in week three of the 2023 season, the Dolphins crushed the Broncos 70-20 in Miami. At the time, the Dolphins look unstoppable on offense, with Tua shining as an MVP contender. Fast forward to the 2026 season, and the Broncos have turned things around. They're now one of the top teams in the AFC, building around young quarterback Bo Nicks and keeping their core intact. Meanwhile, the Dolphins have hit reset. They fired coach Mike McDaniel this off-season, party with General Manager Chris Greer last year, and also released stars like Tyree Kill and Bradley. Chubb. It's a stunning reversal that shows how quickly fortunes can shift in the league, with the Dolphins now following the Broncos' bowl playbook too.
