Welcome to the Splash Zone, the quickest way to get your day started off right. We bring you a rundown of Miami Dolphins news from the last 24 hours.


Miami Dolphins general manager, Chris Grier, and head coach, Mike McDaniel, met with the media on Monday for their end of the season press conference. They were asked a ton of questions, including the status of Tua Tagovailoa. The quarterback was having an MVP caliber season before concussions forced him to miss four regular season games and one playoff game. Grier and McDaniel are committed to Tua being the Dolphins starter next year and that’s great because Tua was playing well in this new system. But the team is going to have to find a better option for a backup quarterback. Tua has yet to play a full season and if that continues, the team is going to have to find someone like Jimmy Garroppolo, who can step in and is an above average starter when needed.

You can check out that story here, and the rest of the day’s round-up below.
