Tua Cut, Willis In?
The Dolphins cut Tua Tagovailoa, eating a $99M dead cap hit [https://x.com/i/status/2030991331015918056] and might give the keys to Malik Willis [https://x.com/i/status/2030991331015918056] – Tua might land with the Falcons [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o7cJ16GtlFo].
The Falcons make sense for Tua, given Raheem Morris's familiarity with him from their time together in Miami. Atlanta needs a QB after Kirk Cousins' injury woes last season. Willis's mobility could provide a spark for the Dolphins' offense, which has struggled with a traditional pocket passer. His strong arm also opens up the downfield passing game. The Dolphins' willingness to absorb such a massive dead cap hit signals a clear shift in their long-term strategy. They're betting big on Willis's potential to be a franchise QB.
