The move brings a dramatic end to the “Tank for Tua” era that began with the 2020 draft and leaves the franchise searching for a new direction at the most important position in sports.

The crew dives into:

  • The breaking news and the Dolphins’ official statement
  • Why the organization ultimately decided it had to move on
  • The failures of the rebuild that started with the 2020 draft
  • Tua’s highs and lows during his six seasons in Miami
  • Favorite moments and the games fans will never forget
  • What this means for the Dolphins’ future at quarterback

From unforgettable performances — like the Ravens comeback and the 70-point Denver game — to the moments that defined the end of the era, the guys reflect on Tua’s complicated legacy in Miami and what comes next for the Dolphins.
