Dolphins' Chaotic Season Ends, QB Future Uncertain
2 Jan
Summary
- General manager Chris Grier was fired mid-season.
- Tua Tagovailoa was benched after a Week 15 loss.
- Kirk Cousins is a potential veteran QB target for Miami.
The Miami Dolphins are heading into a significant offseason following a chaotic 2025 season that concluded on Sunday against the New England Patriots. The team experienced considerable upheaval, including the mid-season dismissal of general manager Chris Grier, signaling a major organizational shift.
Further complicating matters, head coach Mike McDaniel benched quarterback Tua Tagovailoa after a critical Week 15 loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers. This decision strongly suggests Tagovailoa's time in Miami has come to an end, leaving a void at the crucial quarterback position.
With Tagovailoa's contract containing significant dead money, the Dolphins may need to acquire a veteran presence. Kirk Cousins, a four-time Pro Bowler who previously played for Atlanta, has emerged as a potential target. His history with McDaniel in Washington could influence a move to South Beach.
