Miami Dolphins QB Tua Tagovailoa intends to return to play in 2023, despite numerous concussion issues. In fact, he has yet to be cleared from concussion protocol from a concussion sustained over a month ago.
A serious concern as the average player is cleared from protocol after a week, typically. Being that it was his second with extended absences of the season is what has many questioning if Tua should come back at all.
Another reason why the Dolphins are attached to a highly coveted free agent quarterback. Again.
The player in question? Future Hall of Famer and seven-time Super Bowl champion Tom Brady. His deal in Tampa Bay is up and there is speculation that he may retire before coming back to the Buccaneers. Having been spotted in Miami.
However, he is also favorably interested in potentially joining the Las Vegas Raiders in addition to the Dolphins. The San Francisco 49ers, his childhood favorite team, was also on his radar before their commitment to Brock Purdy.
This is the second time in less than five years that Brady has been attached to his long-time New England Patriots rival. The first with ramifications of tampering. Resulting in a Dolphins $1.5 million fine, suspension of owner Stephen Ross and loss of two draft picks.
Presently, the Miami Dolphins would only consider this move if Tua's diagnosis persists and doesn't get any better.
While Brady's market is at an estimated $41 million per year, Brady has been notorious for taking less than market value for the majority of his career. Allowing his organizations to utilize remaining cap space on players who will come in and contribute immediately.
Will GM Chris Grier opt to keep their fortunes on Tua? Are they better off going the Brady route? Stay tuned.
