Hogs Haven on Tua Tagovailoa

Tagovailoa signed cheap deal after 2025 struggles; faces short leash in QB competition.

Tagovailoa signed with the Falcons on a rock-bottom contract of $1.215m (with the Dolphins paying roughly $53m in guaranteed money) to compete with Michael Penix Jr. for the starting job. The source reports that Tagovailoa struggled in 2025, posting 2,660 passing yards—nearing a career low since becoming the Dolphins' full-time starter in 2021. He is competing in a situation where the new head coach Kevin Stefanski is expected to make a quick change if things don't work early, meaning whoever wins the starting job will have a very short leash.
