The Dolphins’ greatest quarterback of all time believes his team needs a quarterback competition this season.
“You have to compete at the position and I think that’s probably where the Dolphins have to go,” Marino told Mad Dog Sports Radio. “Just have competition out there and see what that is. I can’t say it’s going to be free agency or the players we have or anything, but I do know that when you have competition at the position, it makes things better and better, and that’s what the Dolphins need to do.”

The Dolphins owe Tua Tagovailoa $54 million guaranteed through the 2026 season, so it will be difficult for them to move on from him. Marino said he likes Tagovailoa as a person but doesn’t believe the new coaching staff will hand him the starting job.
“Good guy, human being, he’s still on the roster, so you don’t know right now – new staff are coming in and they have to evaluate everything,” Marino said. “Now, Tua is with us, he’s one of our quarterbacks, and that’s what it is.”
Tagovailoa will likely be Miami’s $54 million backup next season.
