1:39 PM PT -- It didn't take too long for Tagovailoa to find a new home ... the Atlanta Falcons are reportedly signing the quarterback to a one-year minimum deal.

It won't be official until he's released on Wednesday.

Tua Tagovailoa's time in Miami is over -- the Dolphins have decided they will release the quarterback after six seasons and two playoff appearances.

The news came out minutes ago that just two seasons after Tagovailoa -- the fifth overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft -- signed a four-year extension worth $212 million ... the team is looking for a new leader under center.

The Dolphins will release the signal-caller as a post-June 1 cut ... leaving them an NFL-record $99 million in dead money to spread over two years.

"Wearing this jersey and representing this city has been one of the greatest joys of my life," Tagovailoa said after the news.

Before this cool kid in his jersey turned into a professional football player, he was just the star athlete of his high school's football, basketball and track teams ...

He played college ball at Texas A&M, and he's currently a Tampa Bay Buccaneer.

Maxx Crosby posted a bittersweet goodbye to Raider Nation on Saturday ... but it looks like he's still in disbelief that his time in Las Vegas is ending.

The NFL star said, "I can't believe that this is a real thing. It's been 7 years being with the nation. Raider Nation has given me everything."

And he gave everything right back to the nation ... he was selected for the Pro Bowl 5 consecutive times while suiting up in silver and black. But, having ultimately fallen short of his goal of bringing a Lombardi trophy back to the Raiders, Crosby said he felt like he let the fans down.

3/9/2026 9:26 AM PT -- TMZ Sports has obtained the email the former couple sent out to apologize for the last-minute cancellation.

Dallas Cowboys superstar Dak Prescott and his fiancée, Sarah Jane Ramos, are not getting married -- TMZ Sports has learned the two have broken up one month before their wedding.

We're told the relationship had been rocky behind the scenes for months ... but things came to a head with a blowup argument at their joint bachelor and bachelorette parties in the Bahamas -- and Sarah Jane called it off.

She actually shared several snaps from her bachelorette party with her closest friends earlier this week ... captioning the post, "I truly believe you can get through anything in life as long as you have really great friends. I love these girls so much."

Aaron Rodgers isn't retiring this year, cause if he wanted to walk away, he would've done it already ... so says NFL great Warren Moon, who tells TMZ Sports the quarterback still has what it takes to play!

Of course, 42-year-old Rodgers' future is up in the air as the future Hall of Famer hasn't committed to playing next season for the Steelers or for any other team.

Moon, who's already in Canton, fully believes Rodgers won't be hanging up his cleats ... saying the signal-caller likes keeping himself in the mix.

"I think he wants to come and I think he is gonna come back," Moon told Michael Babcock. "If he was gonna retire, he would have done it by now."

Logan Paul says his $1 million challenge to NFL players is still wide open -- but according to him, nobody in the league is actually willing to risk their own cash.

The WWE star took to X on Friday to address the viral challenge he issued to pro football players … claiming the guys chirping at him online won’t agree to his simple terms.

Paul says all any NFL player has to do is put $1 million in escrow, fly to his gym in Puerto Rico -- with travel expenses covered -- and fight him with three professional judges and an official referee overseeing the bout.

Myles Garrett's speeding ticket could've been worse -- TMZ Sports has obtained the police bodycam footage from his ninth speeding ticket (at least) in Ohio since 2017 -- with the officer citing him for a lesser speed.

In the video, Garrett is polite with the officer as she takes his information after stopping him in the northbound lane of I-71 in Wayne County. The officer even jokes with him that at one point she thought he was about to take off on her.

"Nah, not on you," Garrett said.

Logan Paul is talking a huge game about the NFL -- and a few players are already stepping up to test him.

The YouTuber-turned-WWE Superstar recently threw down a bold challenge … claiming no football player could beat him in a boxing match -- and offering $1 million to anyone willing to try.

“Not a single football player could beat me in a boxing match, that is on God,” Paul said on his "Impaulsive" show. “I would throttle Myles Garrett. … Myles Garrett, Puka Nacua, Tom Brady, Sam Darnold, doesn’t matter. A million dollars, you come to the gym, you put up boxing gloves, we see how it goes. There’s levels to this.”

Well … the message didn’t take long to reach the locker room.

Stefon Diggs’ release in New England raised plenty of eyebrows -- but not Warren Moon’s.

We caught up with the Hall of Fame quarterback after the news of Diggs’ release broke, and the legendary QB tells TMZ Sports the move made sense given the circumstances surrounding the veteran receiver.

“You know, it doesn't surprise me,” Moon told Babcock moments after the news broke. “He brings a lot of baggage wherever he goes right now. He has off-the-field stuff, and he wasn't as productive over the last part of the season as he had been in the first part of the season.”

The move is notable considering Diggs actually produced in his lone season in Foxborough -- starting all 17 games and hauling in 85 catches for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns while serving as Drake Maye’s most targeted receiver in the young QB’s second season.

Myles Garrett got another speeding ticket last month -- this time, cops say they clocked the Cleveland Browns superstar going 94 in a 70 MPH zone.

TMZ Sports has confirmed the defensive standout's green Porsche was pulled over on the highway on Feb. 21 around 1:35 AM ... hours after he showed face at the Miami (OH) basketball game against Bowling Green.

Although he was busted going 24 over the limit, the cop noted the two-time Defensive Player of the Year was "kind and cooperative" in the remarks section of the ticket.

Stefon Diggs is dealing with another breakup -- the New England Patriots are going to release him.

The news came minutes ago -- with Tom Pelissero saying the team alerted the receiver the move will be made official after the start of the new season next week.

Diggs caught 85 balls for 1,013 yards and four touchdowns during New England's return to greatness in 2025 ... helping the team get back to the Super Bowl for the first time since the Tom Brady era.

The Kansas City Chiefs' decision to ship Trent McDuffie outta town sent shockwaves through the NFL world Wednesday morning ... and his former quarterback, Patrick Mahomes, is bummed out about the move -- posting a one-word response shortly after the news broke.

"Damn." That is all Mahomes had to say after the Chiefs agreed to send McDuffie to the Los Angeles Rams for a slew of draft picks -- including the 29th overall spot in the 2026 NFL Draft.

Even Xavier Worthy took to social media to address the move, replying with two crying emojis and a "noooooooooooooooo."

Tyreek Hill is without an NFL home, but he still picked up a win in his ongoing legal battle with Sophie Hall ... as a judge denied the mode's request to force the receiver to take a court-mandated psych exam -- TMZ Sports has learned.

Judge David Haines filed his decision recently ... denying a motion filed by Hall's legal team in December that was looking to make Hill sit down with a licensed psychologist to determine "the full scope of Defendant's mental state, aggression and culpability."

Her filing stated that it was "critical" for Hall to have Hill go through that exam, saying they needed an expert who specializes in the field "to evaluate the defendant's longstanding pattern of anger and aggression towards others, particularly women, his documented history of violent behavior, including issues related to anger management, impulse control and aggression, which are directly in controversy and forms a critical component of this case."

Kyler Murray's time with the Arizona Cardinals is set to end a week from Wednesday as the team plans to release him at the start of the new league year -- and the former first overall pick penned an emotional farewell to the city ... apologizing for not bringing home a Super Bowl.

The news broke on Tuesday that barring a trade between now and next week, the team will release him once the clock strikes 4 PM ET on March 11.

Not long after it went public ... Murray took to his X account to thank everyone who showed him and his family love during his time with the organization.

The most random sports beef is intensifying -- Tom Brady isn't done going after Logan Paul for claiming he could hang with the NFL's big dogs ... straight-up calling the WWE Superstar a "b*tch!!"

The trash-talking started during Super Bowl week ... when Brady said Paul's wrestling skills were "cute," but no match for the real pros when they take part in the Fanatics Flag Football Classic in Saudi Arabia later this month.

Even though it's been damn near a month since their heated exchange, TB12 clearly hasn't gotten over it ... 'cause he unloaded more smack talk while working out with his longtime teammate Rob Gronkowski.

It could've been received as a Godfather-esque threat, but Browns head coach Todd Monken apparently loves Shedeur Sanders' horse head birthday gift ... 'cause the two posed for a pic in front of the thing!!

The new guy on the Cleveland sidelines uploaded the snap on Tuesday ... showing them cheesing for the cameras -- with the unique present posted up right behind.

Just last week, Monken told CBS Sports about his quarterback's gesture ... and while he was initially pretty confused, he said Sanders had a pretty simple reason.
