Dolphins’ Sullivan updates situation with Tagovailoa, Fitzpatrick, others

The Dolphins remain open to trades involving quarterback Tua Tagovaioa and safety Minkah Fitzpatrick but plan to keep running back De’Von Achane and receiver Jaylen Waddle, general manager Jon-Eric Sullivan said Tuesday in a briefing with South Florida reporters at the NFL Scouting Combine. With regard to Tagovailoa’s future, “the easiest way to answer that is everything’s on the table,” Sullivan said. “A trade is a possibility. Tua is aware. His representation is aware... Everything is on the table with Minkah” as well. NFL Network reported Tagovailoa will not be on the Dolphins next season. Sullivan didn’t rule out a pursuit of Packers free agent quarterback Malik Willis: “Have we had conversations about Malik? I think anybody who’s potentially in the quarterback market would be lying if they said they were not.” With regard to Waddle, Sullivan said: “Jaylen is a very good football player. My vision is for Jaylen to be part of this,” Sullivan said. “We are not actively trying to move Jaylen Waddle.” Sullivan said Tyreek Hill’s age, injury and contract contribute to his release. “The best thing for the Miami Dolphins was to move forward,” Sullivan said. “My gut tells me that we have not seen the last of Tyreek Hill.” He explained James Daniels’ release this way: “Availability’s the best ability. … He probably needed a fresh start and so did we.” Sullivan did not rule out contract extensions with Achane, Jordyn Brooks or Aaron Brewer, but said that would be something addressed later in the offseason.
