The Miami Dolphins have already set this franchise up for a big change in the future by firing Chris Grier and laying the groundwork for a possible Mike McDaniel firing, and now things have been kicked up yet another notch when starting quarterback Tua Tagovailoa was sent to the bench in favor of rookie Quinn Ewers.
As is so often the case with average quarterbacks who earn long-term extensions at salaries they don't have the talent to live up to, Tagovailoa is in the middle of an albatross contract. Tagovailoa is in Year 2 of a four-year, $212 million deal that pays him like a top-flight quarterback.
