Tom Brady to the Dolphins? Adam Schefter Says Not a Chance
When Tua Tagovailoa went down with an injury in Week 2, Miami Dolphins fans were left reeling. Speculation swirled about potential quarterback signings, with Tom Brady’s name thrown into the mix.
However, Adam Schefter, ESPN’s NFL insider, quickly put the kibosh on any Brady-to-Miami rumors. “That’s not gonna happen,” Schefter said, emphasizing that Brady was never considered an option.

The Dolphins were content to sign Tyler Huntley off Baltimore’s practice squad, providing competition for Thompson or insurance in case of another injury. But the notion of Brady coming out of retirement to save the Dolphins’ season was always a pipe dream.
Brady would only consider joining a team if he was guaranteed to start for the entire year. Adding him would essentially end Tua’s season, which isn’t a viable option.
Tua will meet with neurologists to determine the next steps for his recovery. Barring bad news, he’s expected to return at some point in 2024. He’s stated through the team that he intends to continue playing.
Miami will face the Seahawks this week with Thompson at the helm, but Huntley’s presence makes things interesting. The extent of Tua’s absence is unknown, as he navigates a five-step process to get back on the field.
This concussion was Tua’s fourth since his time at Alabama, and some believe he suffered one against the Bills in 2022. His health is the top priority, and the Dolphins will take a cautious approach.
In summary, while Tom Brady’s name was thrown around, it was never a realistic option for the Dolphins. Tua’s recovery is the focus, and the team will move forward with Thompson and Huntley at the helm.
