Tua Tagovailoa a Backup Plan for Vikings at QB?
ESPN's Jeremy Fowler said on the Dan Patrick Show on Monday that Miami Dolphins quarterback Tua Tagovailoa is a "second-tier option" this offseason as the Minnesota Vikings look to pair a veteran signal-caller with J.J. McCarthy. Arizona Cardinals QB Kyler Murray and the Las Vegas Raiders' Geno Smith are considered in the first tier. Minnesota is an attractive destination for signal-callers that will either be traded or released since they have a QB guru in head coach Kevin O'Connell and one of the best receivers in the league in Justin Jefferson. Minnesota doesn't have a ton of money to spend, but they should be able to land a pretty good value on a QB this offseason that will most likely compete with McCarthy for the starting role in 2026. After another disappointing season for Tua in 2025, his fantasy stock in dynasty/keeper leagues continues to drop, and he may find himself as a backup QB to begin the 2026 season outside of Miami.
