Tua Tagovailoa, former Miami Dolphins quarterback.
That will take some getting used to as Miami general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan announced March 9 the team will release the quarterback at the start of the new league year.
“I recently informed Tua and his representation that we are going to move in a new direction at the quarterback position and will be releasing him after the start of the new league year,” Sullivan said in a statement released by the team. “As I shared with Tua, I have great respect for the person and player he is. On behild of the Miami Dolphins, I expressed our gratitude for his many contributions, both on the field and in the community, during his six seasons in Miami.”
The Dolphins will take on a record $99.2 million in dead money by releasing Tagovailoa. Miami will split Tagovailoa’s dead-cap hit over two seasons by designating him a post-June 1 release, per reports.
An era that began with the “Tank for Tua” campaign, it comes to a close with the team having determined there is nothing left in that tank.
