Dolphins Listed Among Top 10 ‘Most Likely Destinations’ for Cowboys Star
The Miami Dolphins had improved quarterback play from Tua Tagovailoa in 2023. Tagovailoa threw for the most yards and touchdowns of his career, throwing for (4,624 yards) and (29) touchdowns. However, their 1-5 record against playoff teams in 2023 has led to questions about if Tagovailoa can win big games. Dallas Robinson of Pro Football Network ranked 15 destinations where Dallas Cowboys quarterback Dak Prescott could play in 2025, ranking the Dolphins No. 8 on the list.
Robinson writes that Prescott is a “souped-up version of Tagovailoa.”
“The Dolphins have said all the right things about extending QB Tua Tagovailoa, who stayed healthy for all 17 games in 2023 and led the NFL in passing yards (4,624). Still, there’s an outside chance Miami will allow Tagovailoa to play the 2024 campaign on his fifth-year option while holding a 2025 franchise tag as leverage.
“In many ways, Prescott is a souped-up version of Tagovailoa. His football intelligence might be a perfect match for Mike McDaniel’s offense, allowing Prescott to work as a point guard within one of the league’s most creative schemes.”
“Still, the 2023 NFL season was one of Prescott’s best seasons of his career. For the Dolphins, Prescott would represent an upgrade over Tua. He has shown the ability to make passes down the field to explosive receivers and could take advantage of Miami’s dynamic playmakers on offense.”
Tagovailoa Contract Updates
During the NFL Scouting Combine in February, Miami Dolphins head coach Mike McDaniel said that Tagovailoa and the organization were hard at work, indicating a potential extension this offseason. McDaniel had the following to say, according to Marcel Louis-Jacques of ESPN.
“I’m very encouraged both Tua’s representation and our organization are hard at work,” McDaniel said at the NFL scouting combine on Tuesday. “Most timelines are impossible to predict, and my main concern this offseason has been communicating what Tua needs from his head coach and his offensive coaching staff — which is what things can we identify to continue the progression of your game, the same way that we have since Day 1.
