The NFL kicked off his free agency period unofficially on Monday afternoon, letting players negotiate deals that go official on Wednesday. Miami Dolphins released quarterback to a Toggle Viola that morning and soon lined up his replacement. Toggle Viola wasted no time, agreeing to terms with the Atlanta Falcons right after. The Falcons scored a major steal, covering just $1.3 million of Toggle Viola salary while Miami picks up the bulk at $52 million. Million dollars. It's like what the Pittsburgh Steelers pulled off with Russell Wilson last year, paying close to the veteran minimum for top talent. Dolphins get little salary offset in return. Toggle Viola posted a touching goodbye to Dolphins fans, thanking them for six strong seasons in Miami. Now he's grateful for the fresh start, fully funded by his old team. Meanwhile, Falcons quarterback Michael Penix Jr. is rehabbing a torn ACL from this past season.

His readiness for 2026 is up in the air, opening the door for Toggle Viola to battle for the starting spot, whether he starts or backs up, Toggle Viola cashes in big for Miami while boosting Atlanta's lineup. Free agency keeps delivering wild twists like this one. This episode is brought to you by our sponsor. See the episode description. No need to switch positions.
