Overview
- ESPN's Adam Schefter reports Miami offered four first-round picks for the No. 1 pick in 2020 to draft Joe Burrow.
- The Bengals refused to engage on a trade down and remained committed to selecting Burrow first overall.
- Miami has benched Tua Tagovailoa for rookie Quinn Ewers and, per reporting, is prepared to move on this offseason.
- Tagovailoa's contract includes $54 million guaranteed in 2026, another $3 million guaranteeing on March 15, and a $99 million dead-cap hit if cut, with a post-June 1 designation splitting the charge over 2026 and 2027.
- Burrow has recently mused about his future but says he expects to be in Cincinnati next season, as both Miami and Cincinnati finish out non-playoff years affected by injuries.
