The source describes Tua Tagovailoa as an experienced veteran with a longer resume competing for the Falcons starting job, but notes his history with injuries and declining performance on the field ultimately led to his release from Miami. The source indicates it's difficult to say which quarterback (Tagovailoa or Ridder) offers the Falcons the best chance to win, and there's a strong chance both will get starting reps during the season.NegativeBustJul 22, 2026
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.
