Dolphins cut Tua, absorb huge cap hit

The Dolphins' massive dead cap hit is due to Tua's fully guaranteed contract, a risk that didn't pay off. This move signals a complete reset at QB for Miami, despite investing significant draft capital and salary into Tagovailoa. The Colts make sense as a destination because of their need for a reliable QB and their strong offensive line. The Falcons could also be in the mix, given their uncertainty at the quarterback position and offensive weapons. The Rams, Jets, and Cardinals are longer shots, but could be options depending on their plans at quarterback and overall team direction. Each team offers a different situation for Tua, ranging from competing for a starting job to potentially sitting behind a veteran.
