There’s no doubt that one of the biggest conversations throughout the season has been “tank for Tua” and where he would end up. For the longest time, Miami has been the the top landing spot for Tagovailoa. But after a report today by Safid Deen by the Sun-Sentinal, it seems as though things may not be as secure as originally thought for Tua.
"Is this a joke?"
"Maybe, they are after Herbert."

According to Deen, “Tagovailoa was surprised he received a bit of a cold shoulder. He left feeling uncertain about the Dolphins and their desire for him to be their next franchise quarterback, a source told the South Florida Sun Sentinel on Friday.”
Deen also shared how “Despite the less-than-ideal first impression, Tagovailoa still wants to play for the Dolphins and hopes Miami can execute a draft-day trade to move from the No. 5 pick to land him.”
Other reports suggest that Justin Herbert is the favorite to land in Miami.
But Tua made it clear:
“It doesn’t change how he feels about Miami,” the source said. “Miami is the place for him.”
