NFL Network’s Mike Garafolo reports the Jets are among the teams doing work on Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa.
Garafolo says Tagovailoa could be available for the veteran minimum if he is released as expected. He mentions numerous teams are doing work on who Tagovailoa is a person, and believes the Jets have multiple directions they could go at QB this offseason, including Tagovailoa.
The Jets reportedly want to add two cost-controlled veteran signal callers this offseason, and names like Broncos QB Jarrett Stidham, Eagles QB Tanner McKee and Bears QB Tyson Bagent are potential options as well as Tagovailoa.
Tagovailoa, 27, was selected with the No. 5 overall pick out of Alabama in 2020 by the Dolphins. He signed a four-year, $30,275,438 rookie contract with a $19,578,501 signing bonus. He earned a base salary of $1,010,000 in the final year of his deal.
The Dolphins picked up Tagovailoa’s fifth-year option worth $23,171,000 for the 2024 season.
From there, the team re-signed him to a four-year deal worth up to $212 million that included $167 million guaranteed.
In 2025, Tagovailoa appeared in 14 games for the Dolphins and completed 67.7 percent of his passes for 2,660 yards, 20 touchdowns, and 15 interceptions.
