Dolphins Release Tua Tagovailoa, Seek New QB

0:00For the NFL, it's March 9th. Here's what's happening. Make sure you're subscribed so you never miss an update. The Miami Dolphins are parting ways with quarterback Tua Tagel-Viloa. They informed him on Monday that he'll be released at the start of the newly gear on Wednesday. By waiting until then, the team can classify it as a post-June first cut. That lets them spread his remaining cap hit across the next two seasons. The financial blow is huge, with $99 million in dead money hitting their cap. They also owe his fully guaranteed $54 million salary for the 20-26 season. General manager John Eric Sullivan says the focus now is on adding competition everywhere on the roster. They want to build a solid base for long-term success. Looking ahead, the dolphins need a new quarterback to lead the offense. Meanwhile, Tagel-Viloa will search for a fresh start after his performance dipped in Miami over the last couple of years.
