1. Miami Dolphins move on from Tua Tagovailoa
Yeah, this one is bittersweet, but in a cutthroat move, the Miami Dolphins should move on from Tua Tagovailoa. But they would do so by making a bold move for Lamar Jackson. Yes, you read that right. Jackson is the answer to the Dolphins’ quarterback woes, and they should do whatever it takes to make it happen.
First of all, let’s talk about the injury concerns surrounding Tagovailoa. It’s no secret that he has dealt with multiple injuries in his short NFL career, including concussions and fractured ribs. These are serious issues that could hamper his ability to perform at a high level in the future. It’s understandable why the Dolphins might be hesitant to commit to him long-term.
Enter Lamar Jackson. He’s apparently one reason the Fins aren’t ready to make a decision on Tua. Not only is he an electrifying player on the field, but he’s also a proven winner. In his three seasons as the Ravens’ starting quarterback, he has led them to the playoffs every year and won a league MVP award in 2019. He’s the kind of player who can elevate the players around him and make the Dolphins an instant contender.
But what about the price tag? There’s no denying that Jackson would command a huge salary and likely require multiple first-round draft picks in a trade. But let’s not forget that the Dolphins have plenty of cap space and draft capital to work with. Plus, the payoff could be huge. Jackson is only 25 years old — that’s younger than Joe Burrow.
And let’s not overlook the fact that Jackson grew up in South Florida and has expressed interest in playing for the Dolphins in the past. It’s a match made in football heaven, giving the Fins the fastest team in the NFL. Imagine Tyreek Hill, Jalen Waddle, Lamar Jackson, nasty.
