0:00For the NFL, it's March 9th. Here's what's happening. The Miami Dolphins are undergoing a massive rebuild, starting with the release of quarterback Tuha Stago-Viloa. The team made the announcement Monday with the official cut set for Wednesday after the New League year begins. The 28-year-old plans to sign a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons right away. In Atlanta, Tago-Viloa will compete for the starting job against Michael Penix Jr., who's recovering from a torn ACL. The Falcons have new leadership, including head coach Kevin Stafansky. For Miami, this move means swallowing a record $99.2 million in dead cab money, spread out with $67.4 million. Next year, and $31.8 million in 2027. Dolphins General Manager John Eric Sullivan praised Tago-Viloa's contributions over six seasons, bulls on the field, and in the community. The team still owes him $54 million in guaranteed money this season, letting him join another squad on a cheat deal. This caps a rough stretch for

Tago-Viloa showed flashes of brilliance, like leading the league in yards and making the Pro Bowl in 2023, but injuries limited him too. A full season just once. Now with the fresh start, better decisions and scheme fit could revive his career in Atlanta. The Daily News Now is powered by our sponsor, Link in the Description.
