Tua Tagovailoa is heading to the Atlanta Falcons.
After being informed the Miami Dolphins were going to release him, Tagovailoa and the Falcons agreed on a one-year deal, a person with knowledge of the quarterback’s contract told The Associated Press on Monday.
The Falcons also have agreed on a two-year contract with wide receiver Jahan Dotson, according to a person with knowledge of that deal.
Both people spoke to the AP on condition of anonymity because the contracts can’t be finalized until the new league year begins on Wednesday.
Tagovailoa was 44-32 as a starter in Miami. He will join Michael Penix in Atlanta’s quarterback room. Penix will be returning from a torn ACL.
Dotson is receiving $15 million, including $10 million guaranteed. A 2022 first-round draft pick by Washington, Dotson was part of Philadelphia’s Super Bowl championship team in 2024. He has averaged 33 catches for 410 yards and three touchdowns in his four NFL seasons.
