Dolphins GM Jon-Eric Sullivan stated the team has "too much work to do" before identifying its long-term quarterback. While complimenting Tua Tagovailoa, he emphasized building a proper infrastructure first to ensure any future quarterback's success, citing lessons from his time in Green Bay.

Tagovailoa was benched for rookie Quinn Ewers late last season after a career-high 15 interceptions. His massive $212.4 million contract extension creates a significant $99 million dead cap hit if released before June 1, complicating any immediate move.

Sullivan plans to draft a quarterback nearly every year to maintain depth and trade value. New head coach Jeff Hafley confirmed the offense will be built around a physical run game, with Hafley himself calling plays on defense.
