Miami Dolphins

Podcast: The ‘Tua Declared! Now what?’ Edition

By Adam H. Beasley and Armando Salguero

Updated January 8, 2020 12:15 PM

The wait is over.

Now the real waiting begins.

Tua Tagovailoa on Monday declared for the NFL Draft.

That’s huge news for the league in general, and the Dolphins in particular.

Will he make it to No. 5? Will the Dolphins have to trade up? Or will they be scared off by his long medical history?

It’ll be the biggest story line of the coming offseason for Miami, and could affect every decision the team makes.

Like, say, what offense the Dolphins run in 2020 and who calls the plays.

Is offensive coordinator Chad O’Shea’s termination — and the subsequent hiring of Chan Gailey — Tua related?

We get into all of that and more in our latest Dolphins in Depth podcast.
