Former Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa plans to sign a one-year contract with the Atlanta Falcons, according to reports from ESPN’s Adam Schefter.
The veteran signal-caller moves to Atlanta after his tenure with the Dolphins, providing the Falcons with an experienced starter as they prepare for the 2026 season. The move is particularly notable as it gives the Falcons two left-handed quarterbacks on the depth chart, with Tagovailoa joining Michael Penix Jr. in the quarterback room.
Per Adam Schefter, the agreement is expected to be a short-term deal that allows Tagovailoa to reset his market value while giving Atlanta significant depth at the position. Tagovailoa has been one of the most productive passers in the league when healthy, and his arrival in Atlanta marks a major shift for the franchise's offensive strategy.
Further details regarding the financial terms of the one-year agreement have not yet been disclosed by the team or Tagovailoa's representation.
