It’s a possibility, regarding any deal this offseason that could involve the quarterbacks from the Miami Dolphins and Houston Texans.
Tagovailoa, Miami’s No. 5 pick in the NFL draft a year ago, is viewed as a “deal-breaker” and not an adequate replacement for Watson with the Texans, the Houston Chronicle reports Thursday, citing league sources.
Tagovailoa did not exactly light it up during nine starts of his rookie season, while Watson is arguably entering his prime as one of the top 5 quarterbacks in the NFL after four seasons.
Dolphins general manager Chris Grier said Tagovailoa would be Miami’s starting quarterback after last season, and coach Brian Flores reiterated his feelings about developing players like Tagovailoa during Miami’s extensive rebuild.
