The Atlanta Falcons are making a "strong push" to sign former Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa, according to Tom Pelissero of NFL Network and The Insiders. While a deal appears to be moving toward completion, no official agreement can be signed until Tagovailoa is formally released on Wednesday.
According to sources, signs point to Atlanta as the primary destination for the veteran quarterback. The Falcons have been active in their search for a solution at the position, and securing a player of Tagovailoa's caliber would signal a significant shift for the franchise's offensive outlook. Tagovailoa spent the early portion of his career with the Dolphins, where he established himself as a high-efficiency passer before this transition.
Per Pelissero, the situation remains fluid but the momentum is clearly in favor of the Falcons. The NFL world will be watching closely on Wednesday when the procedural release allows the deal to be finalized. This move would likely set off a chain reaction across the league's quarterback market as teams prepare for the upcoming season.
