There remains plenty of uncertainty surrounding the quarterback position for the Miami Dolphins heading into the offseason, and head coach Mike McDaniel told reporters Monday he plans on meeting with Tua Tagovailoa to discuss a competition for the 2026 starting job.

Here's the breakdown of where Miami ranks in terms of schedule difficulty right now, but the reality of how things change

The Dolphins interviewed interim general manager Champ Kelly for a single time in person on Wednesday, and then interviewed Packers vice president of player personnel Jon-Eric Sullivan and 49ers director of scouting and football operations Josh Williams for the first time in person, and second time overall, on Thursday.

The Miami Dolphins ended their season with a 38-10 loss to the New England Patriots. Despite reports, the Dolphins have not publicly announced Mike McDaniel’s return.

While we'll say again that Ewers deserves kudos for his performance against Tampa Bay, the reality is he threw for only 172 yards, this after he passed for 260 yards in his NFL starting debut, which ended in a 45-21 loss against the Cincinnati Bengals.

The Miami Dolphins initially saw five names reported on Monday for their interview requests for a vacant general manager post. Then, shortly thereafter, a sixth name was reported — San Francisco 49ers Vice President of Player Personnel Tariq Ahmad.
