He led the Dolphins to the playoffs in his first season and followed that (9-8) finish with 11 wins in 2023 and another postseason berth. The\u00a0Dolphins\u00a0lost in the wildcard round both times but\u00a0Tua Tagovailoa\u00a0put together the best season of his NFL career in 2023 and played in all 17 games for the first time since getting drafted out of Alabama.<\/p>\n<p>So heading into last season, expectations were high for the\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0in the AFC East that has been dominated by the Buffalo Bills for the last five-plus years. But instead of taking another step forward last season, the Dolphins took a significant step back.<\/p>\n<p>After giving\u00a0Tagovailoa\u00a0a massive four-year contract extension worth more than $214 million last summer, the\u00a0Dolphins\u00a0starting QB suffered a head injury early in the year that sidelined him for four games. There was a point where Tagovailoa\u2019s career was in jeopardy due to his history with concussions, and while he eventually returned, the Dolphins lost all four games in his absence and the hole was too deep to climb out of.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s clear the\u00a0Miami Dolphins\u00a0will only go as far as Tagovailoa takes them. This offseason they made the move to sign former first round QB Zach Wilson as a reliable backup in-case their starting signal caller is out for any time with an injury, but the\u00a0Dolphins\u00a0are banking on Tagovailoa to take the team to the playoffs and beyond.<\/p>\n<p>With so much uncertainty surrounding Tagovailoa considering his history with injury,\u00a0Bleacher Report\u2019s Mitchel Milani\u00a0threw out a wild prediction that would send the NFL in a frenzy.<\/p>\n<p>Milani predicts the Miami Dolphins as a potential landing spot for free agent QB Aaron Rodgers.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><strong>\u201cTua Tagovailoa is the most injured and frequently unreliable quarterback in football Aaron Rodgers could fill in and ride with Tyreek Hill and Jalen waddle and retire in Florida.\u201d\u00a0<\/strong><\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>\u00a9 Ed Mulholland The Miami Dolphins have to make the playoffs at the end of the 2025 regular season or ownership will clean house, fire\u00a0Mike McDaniel\u00a0and\u00a0Chris Grier\u00a0and&#8230; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":46064,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-46062","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-nfl"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v23.8 -
