The writing may be smeared a bit, but it\u2019s on the wall \u2014 Tua Tagovailoa<\/a>\u2019s time with the Miami Dolphins could be coming to an end after being benched for the remainder of the 2025 season.<\/p>\n

Head coach Mike McDaniel announced that seventh-round pick Quinn Ewers out of Texas will be the team\u2019s starter for the remaining three games on the schedule, and Tagovailoa will move to third-string with Zach Wilson, his backup all season, remaining in his role.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa spoke on the demotion following the team\u2019s loss to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Week 15, which could very well be his last in a Dolphins uniform<\/a>.<\/p>\n

“Naturally, I\u2019d say I\u2019m disappointed,” Tagovailoa said. “It\u2019s a normal human emotion. Outside of that, I gotta do my part, my role here right now is to help whoever the quarterback is going to be for this team, to lead this team, help him in whatever way I can to help the team win this game on Sunday.”<\/p>\n

It\u2019s been a tough go for Tagovailoa in his sixth season with the Dolphins. He leads the NFL<\/a> with 15 interceptions, while throwing 20 touchdowns and 2,660 yards over 14 games. The Dolphins have gone 6-8 during his starts this year.<\/p>\n

Tagovailoa was able to muster 253 passing yards with two touchdowns in the 28-15 loss to Pittsburgh, but he had just 65 passing yards through three quarters with an interception prior to a fourth quarter where Pittsburgh appeared to let off the gas defensively.<\/p>\n

McDaniel noted after the game that his quarterback\u2019s play “was not good enough.”<\/p>\n

“Disappointed, I\u2019m not happy about it,” Tagovailoa said about his performance. “But, something out of my control. I would say is the biggest thing, and it\u2019s being honest with myself as well, had been my performance. I haven\u2019t been performing up to the level and the capabilities that I have in the past.”<\/p>\n

It was just two years ago Tagovailoa led the NFL in passing yards (4,624) while throwing 29 touchdowns in an 11-6 season for Miami. That ultimately led the franchise to extend him four years on a deal worth $212.4 million with $167 million guaranteed.<\/p>\n

But more concussion issues came up in 2024, though Tagovailoa led the league in completion percentage (72.9) over his 11 games. The Dolphins went 6-5 over that span, but failed to reach the playoffs.<\/p>\n

If the Dolphins were to release Tagovaviloa and start from scratch at the quarterback position this offseason, it would cost them $99.2 million in dead cap space, though they could break it up over two years.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Ewers\u2019 first start in the NFL will be against Joe Burrow and the Cincinnati Bengals in Miami Gardens on Sunday.<\/p>\n
