Falcons reportedly interested in taking on player
The Miami Dolphins are moving on from Tua Tagovailoa, the quarterback they drafted with the fifth overall pick in 2020 in hopes of turning the franchise’s fortunes around.
The move will cost the Dolphins an NFL record $99m in dead money against the salary cap. ESPN reported that the move will be designated after 1 June, meaning the Dolphins will spread the hit to their salary cap across two years ($67.4m in 2026, $31.8m in 2027). ESPN also reported that the Atlanta Falcons are interested in signing Tagovailoa. Atlanta are set to release Kirk Cousins and Michael Penix Jr is recovering from injury.
