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.
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.
Lakers boss Jeanie Buss has reportedly been quietly losing patience withLeBron James … and the spark? Gratitude -- or, the lack of it.
Buss was privately fuming behind the scenes after the team drafted Bronny James with the 55th pick in 2024 ... because King James didn’t exactly show his appreciation, according to an ESPNreport on how family infighting drove the $10 billion sale of the iconic franchise.
Buss saw the pick as a major gesture of loyalty to the James family, and she expected a little appreciation from LeBron, but instead, she believes he shrugged it off, and it irked Jeanie.
Forget traditional housewarming gifts ... LeRoy Butler's got a way better plan to welcome Micah Parsons to Green Bay -- Lambeau Leap lessons!!!
The creator of the Packers' iconic touchdown celebration told TMZ Sports this week that after Green Bay acquired his "favorite player in the league," he now wants to take the pass rusher out to Lambeau Field and show him how to properly hit the GB celly.
"To the best fans in the world, to the best place: Happy anniversary, Lambeau Leap!"
That's not all ... as a "thank you" for agreeing to sign a huge deal with the Pack, Butler even offered up his old No. 36, as Parsons' No. 11 is currently owned by Jayden Reed.
