2. Miami Dolphins
The Miami Dolphins benched Tua Tagovailoa, which means someone else will be under center in 2026. Head coach Mike McDaniel will presumably return for another season, but he’ll need to prove that he can win games with a different quarterback. If he can’t, then he’s probably out of a job. Malik Willis likely proved he’s the top free agent quarterback, and the Dolphins are one of the most desperate teams for the position.
The biggest obstacle standing in the way is the money. Parting ways with Tagovailoa won’t be cheap, and a bidding war could erupt for Malik Willis. If this happens, it’s hard to imagine Miami being the highest bidder.
