That’s an odd January move…AND to be on the active roster. What would really bake your noodle is if Tua was relegated to the practice squad.

 

Basically it means that as long as they want to keep him on the active roster, he's under Dolphins control through the 2028 season.

I would expect that he'll be a contender to be Ewers backup next season if that's the direction they go.

 

If that were to happen it would be, to me, an open admission that Tua is physically broken, either the hip, arm, or brain...or all three.

 

Not a move you make if you think Tua has a fixable problem

 

I think it's just likely that they're shutting down Tua for the year. And if they have no intention of playing at all, then they probably just want someone else to be the emergency 3rd QB.

 

That is absolutely possible. But Miller does have enough potential upside and team control that it could be more. This isn't a 30 year old guy who would be a UFA in March.

 

That is true. But he's also a super late around draft pick who was signed off a practice squad of a team whose QB room is far from stellar.

Then again, maybe we're both right and they just figured that if we're going to grab a 3rd QB, we might as well find one with some kind of potential.

 

I like Cam Miller more than I like Quinn Ewers. People want to tie 2026 to Ewers after one game are setting themselves up for a Will Levis experience. We need to acquire as much young talent as possible at the quarterback position and it needs to be an open competition. Don't get me wrong, I like Ewers, but he's a long ways away from being a surefire starter.
