Dolphins GM Criticizes Tua's Durability, Pledges QB Depth Overhaul

Miami Dolphins leadership emphasizes quarterback availability, plans offseason focus on backup options and offensive line improvements.

Dolphins GM Chris Grier stressed the importance of quarterback Tua Tagovailoa improving his availability and self-protection after missing six games this season due to injuries.
Tagovailoa, who signed a $212.4 million extension last offseason, was praised for his leadership growth but criticized for taking unnecessary risks on the field.
The Dolphins plan to prioritize finding a reliable backup quarterback this offseason after struggles with Skylar Thompson and Tyler Huntley highlighted the team's lack of depth at the position.
Grier acknowledged the need to invest in the offensive line, marking a shift from his earlier stance, and expressed confidence in the unit's work ethic despite injury challenges.
Star wide receiver Tyreek Hill's future with the team remains uncertain, though Grier described recent conversations with Hill as productive and emphasized his importance to the team.
