The New York Jets are very interested in pursuing Tua Tagovailoa

Although it isn’t official yet, the Miami Dolphins are more than likely about to cut veteran quarterback Tua Tagovailoa.

The handwriting has been on the wall since the season ended that Tua would be on the chopping block.

A surprise team that might be interested in pursuing the former Alabama quarterback is the New York Jets, according to NFL insider Mike Garafolo.

“If [Tagovailoa] gets cut, he is going to be available for potentially the veteran minimum to come in and be a starting-caliber quarterback. Financially, it makes a lot of sense. Teams are doing work on Tua. From my understanding, the Jets, amongst them, are doing some calls to get the fullest sense of who Tua is as a person. The Jets have multiple options when it comes to the quarterback situation, and Tua, I believe, is among those.”

When healthy, Tagovailoa was one of the most productive quarterbacks in the league, leading the NFL in passing in 2023 with 4,624 yards.

But he has suffered numerous concussions and may be one hit away from a career-ending injury, which is why so many teams are reluctant to pursue him.

Still, he may be worth it if he ends up with the right team and in the right system.
