Tagovailoa is looking for a 'fresh start' with Falcons after rocky finish to his stay with Dolphins
- On Tuesday, quarterback Tua Tagovailoa addressed the media for the first time since signing a one-year, $1.3 million deal with the Atlanta Falcons two weeks ago, calling the move a fresh start after his six-year tenure with the Miami Dolphins.
- Earlier this month, the Miami Dolphins released Tagovailoa, absorbing an NFL-record $99 million dead cap hit while remaining liable for $54 million in guaranteed money through 2026.
- Tagovailoa struggled in 2025, throwing a career-high 15 interceptions before being benched, though he aims to return to his 2023 form when he led the NFL with 4,624 passing yards and 29 touchdown passes.
- Atlanta general manager Ian Cunningham confirmed Tagovailoa will compete for the starting role against Michael Penix Jr., who is recovering from a torn ACL, stating, "There are no starters right now."
- The Falcons also signed veteran quarterback Trevor Siemian on Tuesday, and Tagovailoa, 28, said he is "excited to work with the team" and embrace the competition for the upcoming season.
