The Miami Dolphins hit the reset button this offseason, and that included a jettison of embattled quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.
The Dolphins’ odds market will be mostly irrelevant for the foreseeable future. Meanwhile, Tagovailoa will be on the roster with the Falcons, where he’ll make a minimum salary and probably serve as an emergency backup quarterback – a good role for a smart player with a history of head injuries.
Tagovailoa very well could have played his last NFL game. But before you feel too bad for him, just remember he had $54 million in 2026 Dolphins salary become guaranteed when he was still on the roster in Miami in March 2025.
Tua Tagovailoa Contract
On March 12, 2026, Miami designated Tua Tagovailoa as a post-June 1 release. One day later, he signed a one-year deal with the Atlanta Falcons worth $1.215 million.
Tua Tagovailoa Salary
