The Dolphins already have a former Alabama football QB leading their squad in Tua Tagovailoa. They aren't in need of a new starter, but they have talked to Jalen Milroe about him potentially being a backup in Miami. The conversations have reportedly been successful.

The Miami Dolphins are looking to get over the hurdle next season with Tua Tagovailoa as their starting QB, but they are keeping there options open at the position with the draft coming up.

As cap expert Joel Corry noted, the Dolphins could do a max restructure of Tagovailoa’s contract this offseason, one in which his $25.046 million base salary for 2025 would drop to $1.17 million. That would create $19.1 million in cap room and lower his 2025 cap hit from $39.2 million to $20.1 million.
