The Miami Dolphins released franchise quarterback Tua Tagovailoa earlier this month after an underwhelming 2025 season. The former Dolphins signal-caller has reportedly agreed to sign with the Atlanta Falcons.
While Tagovailoa is set to compete with Michael Penix Jr. for the starting role in Atlanta, Miami Heat is reportedly feeling the effects of his departure. According to NBA writer Tim Reynalds, Heat star Bam Adebayo is averaging “83.0 points per game since the Dolphins released Tua Tagovailoa.”
