2. Miami Dolphins

Miami clearly needs a more reliable backup than Teddy Bridgewater with the team forced to start their third-string quarterback in the playoffs. Watching Tua both in college and the NFL it is clear the QB is injury prone and there is a great chance the quarterback behind him will start multiple games.

If you’re Matt Ryan this is a great chance to return to a warm-weather team and if forced into action have Mike Gesicki, Jaylen Waddle, and Tyreek Hill as your primary weapons. While Ryan will start the year as the backup in this scenario Tua’s history suggests Ryan would get his chance at redemption and a chance to prove he can still start in this league.

Considering how well Skylar Thompson played in relief as the third string Ryan would clearly be set up for success while bringing a veteran presence to a team looking to take that next step in the playoffs.  Ryan would have a chance to play meaningful snaps for a team that badly needs a reliable quarterback behind a player in Tua who is still unproven and unable to stay healthy.
