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.

Floyd Mayweather's decision to unretire has some fans believing the 50-0 fighter is running out of money ... but Shawn Porter tells TMZ Sports he's not broke ... he just can't stay away from the sport he loves.

We spoke with Porter -- who retired from boxing in 2021 -- after Mayweather announced his return to the pro ring for a rematch with Manny Pacquiao in September, on top of exhibitions with Mike Tyson and Mike Zambidis.

That said, many are questioning whether "Money" has no money ... or if he's really just been champing at the bit to punch some faces again ... but Porter can explain.

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.

Jessica Alba and Joe Burrow are not dating despite social media rumors linking the two after they were spotted in Las Vegas ... TMZ has learned.

Posts circulating on X claim the actress and Bengals QB are a new couple after being seen together at 2 AM in Vegas. The chatter quickly picked up steam, especially alongside a photo of them sitting at a gaming table.

But sources with direct knowledge tell us the rumors couldn’t be less true. We're told Alba is still romantically involved with actor Danny Ramirez.

Multiple people who attended the Zero Bond Vegas opening, which is where the photo was taken, tell us Alba and Burrow were simply part of a larger group of friends hanging out. They weren't there alone and there was no PDA or behavior suggesting anything beyond friendship.

The NFL's toughest players are so lucky the WWE is holding Logan Paul back from fighting them ... at least according to a tweet Logan posted today.

As you know ... the YouTuber-turned-WWE Superstar threw down a challenge, claiming no football player could beat him in a boxing match -- and offered $1 million to anyone willing to try. Well, there were a lot of people chomping at the bit. From former running back Le'Veon Bell to 6'3", 300-pound nose tackle Breiden Fehoko, it seemed like almost everyone wanted a piece of Logan if the opportunity presented itself.

Now, it looks like the offer is off the table ... and Logan is blaming his superiors.

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.

A legendary Magic City dancer tells TMZ Sports it's clear Luke Kornet's never visited the strip club ... 'cause if he did, he wouldn't have criticized the Atlanta Hawks' promotion honoring the place.

We spoke with Gigi Maguire -- one of Magic City's greatest performers -- this week to discuss the noise surrounding the NBA team promoting her former workplace during their game against the Orlando Magic on March 16.

Kornet -- a Kentucky native and San Antonio Spurs center -- called the tribute disrespectful to women ... but Maguire argues that Luke and other critics have never truly experienced Magic City, so their judgment is based only on what they've seen in movies.

"He should see it for himself," Maguire said. "I think that a lot of people that have a negative in their mind about strip are the ones that have never been."

Lil Yachty had a front-row seat at WWE Elimination Chamber -- and the rapper tells TMZ Sports the best part of the night might’ve been watching Giannis Antetokounmpo in full-on dad mode.

Yachty sat next to the Milwaukee Bucks superstar and his brother, Thanasis, for nearly three hours at the event … and came away seriously impressed.

“He's awesome, man. He's so cool,” Yachty said. “He'd be a killer wrestler.”

But what really stood out wasn’t Giannis’ superstar status -- it was how he interacted with his kids throughout the show.

One of boxing’s most dangerous cruiserweights is stepping into Dana White’s new promotion -- and Jai Opetaia plans to make a statement.

The undefeated Australian star will make his Zuffa Boxing debut at The Apex in Las Vegas on Sunday against Brandon Glanton, with the inaugural cruiserweight title on the line.

Opetaia (29-0, 23 KOs) tells TMZ Sports he's looking to reaffirm his status as the best fighter in the 200-pound division.

“There was a lot of noise when I signed,” Opetaia said. “But to be the first to fight for a ZUFFA belt, I'm proud to do that.”

Despite the attention surrounding White’s new venture into boxing, Opetaia says the grind behind the scenes hasn’t changed.

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."

Jeff Nippard -- a popular bodybuilder and fitness influencer -- has suffered a major loss ... his fiancée has died.

Nippard's team broke the bad news Friday, issuing a statement on Instagram about the passing of Stephanie Buttermore. Her cause of death was not released.

Killer Mike is going to bat for Atlanta’s most famous strip club -- firing back at critics of the Atlanta Hawks’ controversial Magic City promotion … and he’s not mincing words.

The Atlanta rapper and activist weighed in on the debate surrounding the team’s “Magic City Monday” theme night -- and made it clear to TMZ Sports that outsiders should mind their business when it comes to ATL culture.

“So you come to Atlanta … and they say they like the girls and the chicken wings, and the city doesn't have a problem with it, shut the f*** up,” Mike said.

He even took a swipe at NBA players who have criticized the idea.

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."

Dillon Brooks went to social media to let his fans know his focus is all on ball after his DUI arrest ... sharing footage from a workout to his Instagram page.

Brooks posted several clips Friday afternoon ... showing him putting up shots at the Phoenix Suns' practice facility with trainers by his side.

It's unclear when exactly the workout took place -- it could very well be from Friday ... which would mean he wasted no time getting back to normal after he was booked hours earlier.

Francis Ngannou may no longer be with PFL, but that doesn't mean the combat sports superstar is done fighting MMA.

The 39-year-old is a free agent after the former heavyweight champ and the Professional Fighters League parted ways on Friday after nearly two years with the promotion, begging the question ... is Ngannou done with mixed martial arts?

The answer is a resounding no.

Disgraced former Michigan football coach Sherrone Moore just caught a huge break in his case -- he struck a deal with prosecutors to plead no contest to two misdemeanors -- and his original charges are going away.

The development went down in an Washtenaw County court minutes ago ... with Moore now facing malicious use of an electronic communication device in the context of a domestic relationship and trespassing.

Moore was originally facing felony home invasion and misdemeanor illegal entry without owner permission and stalking ... and he could have faced five years in prison for the felony alone.
