Which veteran quarterback option is the best for Miami's hopes of finding a long-term answer and wrapping up the competition in the quarterback room? Could Malik Willis really be the answer? If he is, how do the Dolphins make him fit? If he's not, is another former flop in the Titans quarterback room the right pivot?

Host Kyle Crabbs continues his simulated offseason for 2026 and the Miami Dolphins' journey to a rebuild on today's episode of Locked On Dolphins.

No trade market for QB Tua Tagovailoa — should the Miami Dolphins cut him now?

Plus, the squad reacts to the 2026 NFL Combine, what the Dolphins might do with pick #11 (and beyond) in the upcoming 2026 NFL Draft, and all the other franchise-defining choices facing new Phins' General Manager Jon-Eric Sulllivan.

On this episode of YOUR Dolphins Squad Show, Host Jim “Gries” Grieshaber, Kyle Crabbs of Locked On Dolphins and former Miami Dolphins defensive tackle Jeff "Z" Zgonina tackle these franchise-defining debates and more!

No trade market. No leverage. So now what? If teams aren’t willing to trade for Tua Tagovailoa, are the Miami Dolphins out of options? Is it time to release him and pivot — now?

We break down:

• What “no trade market” really means

• The cap consequences of cutting Tua

• Whether Miami is delaying the inevitable

Then we shift to Indianapolis, and the 2026 NFL Combine:

Kyle was there in Indy, and today he gives us an in-depth breakdown of what he saw, what he heard, what he thinks Miami will do in this draft and much more.

• Which quarterbacks helped themselves the most

• Which defensive linemen exploded up boards

• Who Miami could realistically target at pick #11

• What value sits in rounds 2–4

• How Combine performances change Miami’s options if they move on at QB

Quarterback? Offensive line? Interior defensive line? Secondary help?

This is the crossroads.

If Miami wants to win in January, the next move defines the franchise.

👇 Drop your verdict in the comments:

Keep him. Release him. Or draft his replacement at 11.

Miami Dolphins overhaul their strategy with bold cap moves—could this be the reset that propels them into contention in 2026? Kyle Crabbs maps out a fully simulated offseason blueprint, spotlighting major roster shakeups like releasing Alec Ingold and Jason Sanders, shopping Minkah Fitzpatrick to the Dallas Cowboys for critical draft assets, and unlocking cap flexibility through innovative contract restructuring with Tua Tagovailoa.

Key topics include long-term salary cap health, prioritizing dependable talent over short-term fixes, and setting a higher standard for team culture. Kyle Crabbs weighs the impact of offloading high-profile contracts like Tyreek Hill and Bradley Chubb, establishing aggressive but responsible budgeting, and laying the groundwork for acquiring more draft picks. With the NFL’s cash vs. cap dynamic in the spotlight, can Miami balance financial discipline with playoff ambitions? Tune in for the ultimate guide to the Dolphins’ ambitious 2026 roster rebuild.
