3 Dolphins winners and 3 losers from the wild 2024 offseason

Pro Football Focus has ranked Tua Tagovailoa as the 14th best quarterback in the league. Forget the fact that he led the league in most passing categories last season and is about to sign a contract that should eclipse the largest contract ever signed in the NFL. Tagovailoa remains one of the top quarterbacks in the NFL despite what PFF says.

New rankings for Dolphins stars disrespects more than just Tua Tagovailoa

Chris Grier, the Dolphins general manager, was given plenty of love by ESPN who praised his offseason acquisitions and gave the Dolphins an A- for the talent that they brought in versus the talent that they lost.

Tua Tagovailoa's stats alone prove he's superior to Trevor Lawrence and Jared Goff

Tua Tagovailoa throwing on the side at the recent Miami Dolphins Mandatory Minicamp. Tagovailoa might have his market price set for a new extension based on the massive deal that Trevor Lawrence just signed with the Jaguars.

Mike Garafolo's Tua Tagovailoa-Trevor Lawrence take is bad news for Dolphins

Mike White was signed before last season to be the Dolphins back up quarterback. He has not shown enough in the mop up duty that he participated in last season to justify his $5 million cap number. The Dolphins need to move on and bring in a proven veteran to play behind Tua Tagovailoa.

Chris Grier still needs to make this QB move this offseason for the Dolphins

Tyreek Hill went on record stating that he will accept what is best for the team. He is willing to restructure or extend his contract if it gives the team more cap space, or he is willing to stand pat and play out his current contract.

Tyreek Hill quote on contract talks shows he's all in on putting the Dolphins first

Jaelan Phillips' contract should be extended next, even before Tua Tagovailoa

This Dolphins star should be next to get an extension over Tua Tagovailoa
